In a downtown apartment, a man seals himself in. Steel doors and shutters close off any exit to the outside world. In the apartment he has set up a pirate radio station, various computers, food and supplies to last several weeks without going outside.
He has installed a standby generator with oil supplies in the spare bedroom. He has installed surveillance cameras outside in the stairway and in the lift.
He will stay there until he has broadcast his message, until newspapers, TV and the people of the city get his message: The mayor and chief of police are corrupt, they killed his best friend.
A female TV reporter catches on to his broadcasts and WebPages. She contacts him by email and then by cell phone and they develop a relationship, only after she performs certain tasks to prove that she is who she says she is does he trust her to help push his message.
The mayor orders the police to track down the source of the broadcasts, fearing that his part in the murder and the land deal scam will be exposed. He puts pressure on the chief of police and head of the SWAT team, to bring this situation to a quick end, basically to kill the
urbanrebel.
The news reporter Heather Fields takes up the cudgel and broadcasts daily updates on the urban rebel's crusade. As the police try to negotiate with the rebel, they find that he has anticipated their every move. What building they will set up their siege post (he has that bugged), what tactics they will use, switching off the electricity, (he has a generator) shutting down his website but he has mirror sites. They shut down his telephone landlines but he has
cellphones.
He keeps on building awareness to the situation until the press starts hounding the Mayor about the alleged corruption. The pressure is on. Heather needs hard evidence, not just a WebPages with scan documents and images that could have been manipulated.
The FBI are now interested, the pressure is on, the SWAT team have given up negotiating and start cutting the steel door down with oxyacetylene torches, the rebel has little time left.
Will the urban rebel succeed in bringing down the corrupt local government? |
