Armed bloggers
: A Michigan man having a zoning dispute over the trailers he put on his property has started a blog to tell his side, capture the press he’s getting (he used audblog to broadcast a radio interview), and mobilize his supporters (he quotes another blogger who advises citizens to take tape recorders and digital cameras to the next town meeting so it can be posted online; he also links to my email chat with Jay Rosen and the prediction that bloggers will cover town meetings newspapers can’t afford to cover).
All that’s quite cool: power to the people and all that.
Just one more thing: This blogger has also recruited help from the Michigan Militia (whose site says that an “armed standoff” has been averted). Armed bloggers. Well, there are already lots of those. But they don’t wear camoflauge.
