Karl Hilgert is a large round man with a white beard, a retired social worker and peaceful activist. For many years he was a regular member of the Healdsburg Peace Project. We all respected him. A couple of years back, he moved south, only to appear on the Daily Show (Jon Stewart) last night.
Even in mufti, Karl looks like Santa Claus, and when he puts on the red Santa costume, he's a dead ringer. Stewart ran a clip of Karl dressed as Santa being led away in handcuffs by the police. He had been demonstrating in front of one of those Wallmart stores that refuses to pay its workers a wage they can live on without adding welfare. At Wallmart they never have a merry Christmas.
