Shooting Protest March PlannedType:  Date:Tuesday, June 1, 2010 Time:1:00pm - 10:00pm Location:Rapid City SD (Mother Butler)DescriptionShooting protest march planned

A march to protest the shooting death of Christopher J. Capps of Rapid City, an Oglala Lakota, has been scheduled for 1p.m. Tuesday, June 1, in Rapid City.

Capps was shot to death on May 2 by Pennington County Sheriff’s deputy Dave Olson in an open field behind Sunnyside Mobile Home Community, just north of Rapid City.

In addition, the march will protest the “inadequate news coverage” of the mainstream media in Rapid City, according to James Swan of Rapid City. Sponsored by the United Urban Warrior Society, the march will begin at Mother Butler Center and follow a route to the Rapid City Journal, then with turnaround back up 5th Avenue to the school district administration building before returning to Mother Butler Center.

The protest is expected to end with a community feed at 6 p.m. at Mother Butler Center, according to Swan, who said that in addition to protesters, the sponsor invites drum groups, honor guards and flag carriers.

Swan is encouraging donations of cash and food for the march and the feed.

Those planning to participate can contact Swan at: jamesswan_57701@yahoo.com or at (605) 381-8612.

The tough-minded individual is astute and discerning. He has a strong austere quality that makes for firmness of purpose and solidness of commitment. Who doubts that this toughness is one of man's greatest needs? Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think."
