Kokesh Arrested

[sailingaway]

That is preposterous. Why can't they simply be good citizens? Why is a good man forced to be part of a tyrannical state in order to exercise their version of morality? Nobody HAS to be part of a police force, and if the only police force "available" for them is one that enforces tyrannical laws and upholds the police state, then it would be more appropriate for him to simply abstain from joining the police force and trying the best man he can be on his own. You don't need the police in order to be a good person, and you don't need to join an army of thugs in order to feel like you're helping society. Who knows the kind of debauchery this once-good man might be forced to commit all in the name of following orders so he can keep his job? Illegal raids? Roadside searches and drug arrests? Any good man would not willingly associate with such evil just because he thinks police can theoretically be a good thing in a minarchist society, which is debatable.

Clearly you have a different point of view, but I disagree with it. Particularly in small towns and rural areas I think there isn't even the culture that is a problem in some places. Having just watched and heard the Dorner debacle, I'm not so sure about Los Angeles police however. But I do know kids want to grow up to be police and don't for a moment think that what you describe is the job they are getting into. A lot of these kids BECOME police, and then it is the job they have.

He does not seem to be showing up in either New Jersey or Philadelphia:

He hasn't been processed yet. Right? I believe that means he won't show up.

we had a location for him yesterday, I haven't read through the whole thread but I saw on twitter the AJ link about 'disappearing' him and I will go through this - does anyone know that he WASN'T where he was supposed to have been last night?

 

[sailingaway]

OK, this is what I got off twitter last night:

from twitter:

Somebody has organized a "call flood" for tomorrow on Facebook, to inundate the Feds with phone calls to pressure them to drop the charges and release him:

that's sweet, but do you see someone dropping charges because the switchboard is having a hard time?

Now, it might make it clear people are paying attention...

Don't know if this is accurate. This is from daily paul:

I didn't know he was 41.

edit-wikipedia says 31

May have been a typing error or a miscommunication

Any word yet?

 

[Weston White]

Oh, so he is in prison then or now. From the BOP Website's FAQ:

If you are not sure of an inmate's mailing address, call 202-307-3126 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 3:45 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday.

And it looks like you have to FOIA for the charges and additional inmate details. http://www.bop.gov/foia/index.jsp

That whole drug planting video is nuts. Sketchy.

Patrick Henry was doing far more than inciting people to get high and becoming pretty worthless to get anything done.

i do not smoke weed. however, the hardest working guy i know (to a ridiculous degree, really) smokes up all the time. the stereotype might be true of college stoners that would just be sitting around playing video games even if they were sober, but it's not particularly true outside of that.

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'm sure a great number of brownshirts and jackboots thought they were doing the right thing, too.

If a particular individual does the wrong thing, I will condemn that. I am just not going to assume it without evidence any more than I would think them right to condemn without evidence.

Okay it's Monday, we better start getting some answers soon..

Maybe we'll get lucky and they will keep him in jail until after 2016 so he doesn't cause any trouble or get associated with Rand.
