in Toledo, Ohio - December 2005, Jeffrey Sauger, a talented photojournalist and friend was arrested while covering a Nazi rally. recently, on september 29th, 2007 he was found guilty of criminal trespass.

although i can’t attest to the chain of events in which brought on his arrest, i can say that Jeffrey Sauger is a professional photojournalist who practices his craft ethically. he establishes a channel of communication between these actual worldly events and helps deliver it to the rest of us. his practices are tested, uninfluenced, unbiased, and professional. his arrest is a shame. the irony in this case is that the nazi demonstrators, were exercising their first amendment right, and the journalist was arrested while exercising his. in all of this, the biggest loss in this matter (aside from Jeffrey’s) are the pictures that were censored that day by whatever “crowd control” was being exercised that day by toledo police
