On April 22, 2011, hundreds of people from around New York State and beyond, demonstrated against the use of Reaper drones—demanding that the drones be grounded and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan be ended—in front of the Hancock Air National Guard Base in Syracuse, NY. Pilots at the base remotely control Reaper drones that fly missions of surveillance and death over Afghanistan. Thirty-seven people were arrested for blocking the entrance to the base after being told to move by sheriffs. Demonstrators were charged with disorderly conduct and obstructing governmental administration.
Below are the names, cities, and ages of the people arrested.
