General Dynamics sends employees
home early to avoid protest!
Protest at General Dynamics, St. Petersburg, April 13, Instead of Bombing Dictators, Stop Selling them Bombs!, St. Pete for Peace
They're not afraid of selling military equipment to Gaddafi...
but they must be afraid of their employees reading our signs!

Protest successful before it even starts!
General Dynamics employees were told to leave work at 3:00pm - one hour before a protest was to begin in front of their building in St. Petersburg.  At 4:00pm, about three dozen people held a vibrant demonstration denouncing the weapons manufacturer for selling military equipment to Libyan dictator Moammar Gaddafi.

Why General Dynamics?
In 2008, General Dynamics sold $165 million in military equipment to Muammar Gaddafi's elite second brigade, led by Gaddafi's son Khamis.  This force was deployed to Libyan streets near the city of Benghazi where it unleashed live ammunition on protesters (BBC, 2/21/2011).
