A Stateline group is trying to bring light to what they call private military contractor Blackwater's "disregard for national and international law." Members of two groups, the Clearwater Citizens' Group and the Catholic Worker are preparing to protest outside Blackwater's Midwest training site in Jo Davies County on Monday. Tomorrow, they're hosting nonviolence training and say they're prepared to get arrested. The groups feel Blackwater is extremely violent and that the government should not continue to supply contracts. We were unable to reach Blackwater representatives for comment.
