With James Powderly & Co. safe at home stateside, details about how he was detained are surfacing. Animal New York reports that "cops busted in Powderly's hotel room 'V for Vendetta style' while he was sleeping and carted him away to the Chong Wen Detention House." The website also notes that while Powderly never even got to L.A.S.E.R. the words "Free Tibet" over there, he managed to get the word out nonetheless--the activists were greeted by a slew of reporters at the airport yesterday. The crew flew in to LAX, five days ahead of time--likely due to U.S. officials pressuring Beijing to release them.

Why is Gothamist giving Powderly free publicity for GRL?
What exactly has this guy done for Tibet?
oh, right. Nothing.
he's a hipster media whore, that's all.
Back in the Good Ol USA! Now you can get arrested by 3 cops for using a water bottle. America! Fuck Yeah!
We wanted China to "Free Tibet", but we sure as hell didn't want them to free this guy. Whatever happened to communist enslavement?
You know, it is tempting to dislike Dark Knight also because of all the hype. But both James Powderly and Dark Knight are awesome. Of course these commenters know nothing about James otherwise they wouldn't mention Burning Man or free publicity.
^ Yeah. He's really great.
MikeyK = James's Wife. James = Sad sad publicity slut.
