- Share via
Eight people were arrested after several people demonstrating outside the White House scaled the fence and threw red ink, or blood, onto government property, police said. Arnold Cole, a Secret Service spokesman, said the eight were arrested on misdemeanor charges and told authorities they were members of the Community for Creative Non-Violence, an advocacy group for the homeless. Carole Fennelly, a spokeswoman, denied that members of her group participated in the actions. An anti-war group calling itself the Atlantic Life Community contacted the Associated Press and claimed responsibility for the protest.
