Kokesh Arrested

[Roxi]

When you get taken to a federal detention center, it can take days or weeks before you're able to use the phone. There is no one-free-phone-call or anything like that. You can never receive incoming calls. Outgoing calls cost money, which you have only if someone send it to you, which can take time to process. Collect calls work sometimes, but it takes the retarded pigs staffing the federal government 24 hours to get you from the front door to a place where there's a phone.

Thanks for responding. That sucks too. I hope someone hears from him soon.

I was arrested for civil disobedience in philly before and taken to the same federal holding center that I assume Kokesh is in. I was processed and released on the same day. Granted my arrest wasn't on a weekend.

I was there for 24 hours, never given access to a phone.

You absolutely cannot be charged with resisting arrest without having committed an actual crime. I don't even see resisting arrest in the video, but cops make that up all the time. Will be interesting to see what the charge is that prompted the arrest. Probably something crap like disturbing the peace or inciting a riot.

He was sent to the federal detention center as he was arrested in a federal park.

They won't be able to hold him for too long - like until the DC march. Could be in a few days to a week, but I would expect he gets released on bail Monday unless the feds and the judge pull some stunt.

Would not surprise me if they try and get a condition for bail not to own or possess firearms to keep him out of the DC march, though I don't see that having any legal standing, but then the whole thing is an illegal and false arrest without any legal standing from beginning to end, so who knows.

Kokesh - The definition of incitement - Encouraging or inciting another to do a certain thing, such as a crime. Same as the march with guns and ammo. He'd get arrested for that too, when someone does it.

He was arrested.

How is that inciting anybody else?

What specific statute prohibits anything Kokesh has done?

I'll put this here.

''It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace — but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!''

There was no riot. Therefore there was no inciting a riot.
Other speakers were speaking,, I did not hear or see Adam speaking,, perhaps he was about to,, He had spoken at such events in the past.


He was targeted,, not the rest of the crowd nor the several other speakers.

I suspect it was because he is seen as a threat for the 2nd amendment march.
When Americans are considered a threat for simply exercising their rights,, you know we are in serious trouble.

Damn it, you're ruining it for the rest of us.

Will you please pipe down and just write some polite letters of disapproval?!

 

[ninepointfive]

damn - really should have started a thread about my suspicions as to kokesh getting arrested before the march event and held past july 4th. but he'll be out on bail most likely.

 

[pcosmar]

Edit to my earlier post,, I could not Hear Adam, but He was speaking.
This is the 5th such event he has attended.
A better Video and Report.

At least six people, possibly as many as ten, were arrested in the minutes that followed. A video of the event shows police officers shoving through the crowd and violently restraining activists.

Among those arrested were N.A Poe, who is one of the primary organizers of the event, Adam Kokesh, who has been a regular speaker at the Smoke Down Prohibition events and was speaking at the time of his arrest, and Don Dezarn, who is currently the Libertarian Party of New Jersey’s candidate for the New Jersey State Senate in the 14th Legislative District.

Both Poe and Kokesh are currently being held at the United States Federal Detention facility in Philadelphia. Dezarn was issued a citation by Park Rangers and released.

Did he have a permit for this? The audio was shit so I don't know what they said to him. It may have been that he was told to disperse and he refused. If that were the case, he would have been charged with trespassing as well as resisting. So who knows. There are a crap load of laws that anyone can be charged with depending on the cop... disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct....

Yeah, there's no free speech anymore without a permit. A permit means that you are allowed to do something that would ordinarily be illegal. It sounds like this may have been the case. He was probably told to disperse since he didn't have a permit to have a protest on public park land and was told to leave... didn't....

Well, I don't agree with that because there is still the need for police and those who join to serve a good purpose and do NOT abuse the office I don't tar with the same brush.

But we can disagree.

Sailing, you are missing the point. ALL police enforce unconstitutional and invasive laws. They cannot join the force and expect only to enforce moral ones because they have to enforce ALL of the laws.

I understand what you are saying but there is no police force available to enforce only constitutional laws and protect people and their property who need it, and people who are driven by that have nowhere else to go, so I judge each person individually.

I can speak for my state's laws, but an officer doesn't have to enforce any law in this state.
they have something called 'officer's discretion'

This is circulating on the internet with the implication the guy in the video is putting something in Adam's back pocket as he is being arrested. I can't see for absolute certain myself, but if something is found in his back pocket it may turn out to be relevant:

You know, they're pack animals. Individually, there probably some decent human beings in there. But they're just like other packs of animals - at best, they go along to get along.

Kind of like scientists and teachers.

Witnesses say that unlike previous Smoke Down Prohibition events, there was a large police presence — some say there were as many as 50 police cars parked nearby. In addition, the “Free Speech Area” where the monthly demonstrations occur was surrounded by police barricades, with the exception of a few entry/exit points. Along the barricades were signs posted stating that “the possession and/or use of controlled substances is prohibited.”

That link has a much better video and sound.

Oh,, and Adam was not the organizer. he was just a speaker.
The Organizer (as I understand) was one N.A.Poe. He was also arrested.
