There was a series of anti-war protests at a mall around Albany NY in the run up to the second gulf war.

I had been covering the story on a regular basis, but it had gotten very little attention because the media had decided that anti-war protests were not newsworthy.

Well, finally at one of these protests they arrest a judge and that is newsworthy. People start looking for names and places and these match the story I'd written at the last protest (where there had not been any arrests.)
