Kokesh Arrested

[economics102]

no bail because of a POSSIBLE 'history of excessive drug use'?

What on earth does a history of excessive drug use have to do with bail? People who take drugs get bail all the time.

I can answer that. You see, potheads are notoriously lazy and irresponsible. If they grant bail, Adam might get himself so high while sitting on his couch at home that he forgets to show up for his next court date.

And he'll be high as a kite. So you see, he's a flight risk.

Adam has clearly become a political prisoner. I am sure the President would have no problem labeling Adam an enemy combatant.

This is pretty fucking blatant, more than usual, which says a lot...

1st amendment now officially means "speak freely... at your own risk"

This is the code he is alleged to be in violation of. http://trac.syr.edu/laws/18/18USC00111.html
Looks like a max sentence of 8 years. Looking at this more closely, and reading the criminal complaint, they may have a case. I haven't seen any videos of the moment the police grab Kokesh, I've only seen after they are dragging him out of the crowd.

You got a problem with that, Mundane?

...the no bail is really very troublesome.

You were warned.

 

[brandon]

He will be given bail. They postponed the bail hearing until Thursday because Kokesh is refusing to speak.

He refused to tell the feds whether or not he has guns. They are playing games. Adam is smart to remain silent.

There is no way this trumped up bull shit will fly. He clearly did not assault the police officer from the video and the feds will have to have an answer for why they grabbed him in the first place. Seems to me that if they had a justified reason for apprehending him in the first place, they would charge him with that in court in addition to the assault on a fedcoat. The only way their scenario works out is if Kokesh magically attacked the officer and was the first to initiate contact. Otherwise, you have police officers apprehending a suspect without cause.

I guess he assaulted them off camera.

Yes, it's called a pre-emptive arrest.

Politically motivated.

King George used it in Boston.

Lincoln used it during the Civil War.

Wilson used it during WWI

FDR in WWII.

Was used again during the protests over VietNam.

And now, since we are at war, forever, in the GWOT, this is now standard operating procedure, presumably, forever.

clearly.

It has to be a felony so that he cannot "lawfully" possess a firearm. In preparation for July 4th festivities of course.

clearly.

This is a political arrest.

It's designed to shut AK up and take him out of circulation.

Logic and justice and precedent don't matter.

Mission Accomplished.

Not yet.

It is none of their business if he has guns, and has nothing at all to do with grabbing someone's arm before you figure out they are an official, then dropping it, which is the MOST he could have done in the time before I saw him clearly out of the scrum. I didn't see a grab at all.

But asking that sure tips their hand to the real reason they did it. I thought from the video the guy id'd ADAM specifically and headed towards him. I think it was the 2d amendment march all the time.

Hey Lou, getta load of dis...another uppity Mundane "chirping" about their "rights".

<thump>

There's ya rights, ya hippiecommienaziterroristextremist!

 

[Aratus]

we all may have to moneybomb to get him back to where ordinary humanity is,

They still have not yet allowed him a phone call. Lucas Jewell just phoned this information to Alex Jones.

I hope someone is tending to his dog.

Let's hope not.

I'm not encouraged when some of our own are happy over this.

Lucas was putting stuff up on his web page, I can't imagine they aren't tending to his dog. then again, I don't know if they have a key.
