Attached message

According to the Porc 411 Ian was arrested and taken to a small room without any public allowed and the kangroo kourt seems to be having their way with him.

Dave Ridley's additional info.

First they don't want to allow him to meet his accuser, now they won't even give him a public trial?

What country is this exactly??

I showed up but didn't witness it personally because I refused to remain in the courtroom when we were all informed ahead of time that anyone who didn't rise for the judge entering and leaving would be subject to sanction for contempt of court. I wasn't prepared to be arrested today but the next time I go, I'll make sure I'm prepared. Dave interviewed me briefly before we were rudely interrupted so I suspect it will be in an upcoming Ridley Report. Just as was happening in the federal court when NHFree was mentioned in Lauren and Kat's trials, we are clearly being targeted for our speech.

"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win."

Guess what stage we're at?

To those outside NH reading this, it's time to move, people. You don't have to get arrested, but we need your moral support, your voices, your cameras. A letter or two to feel your support while in the cage won't hurt. There are so many things that people can do to help.

If I understand correctly, he was arrested on a contempt charge, which will probably be used to mask the fact that he's being imprisoned for the placement of furniture on his property.

Amazing.

Kudos for Ian, though I personally think something he discussed on the show had merit. All in all, this is a win. I will call no man or woman "Honor" unless they've earned it. Lauren and Kat, they're honorable. Men in dresses on benches to feed their ego? No way.

I don't fault Ian for not standing, I fully support it. But as Josh said, this will no be spun as a beligerant guy, bent on chaos rather than standing for property rights.

What country is this exactly??

I've begun calling it the USSA (United Socialist States of Amerika) and not just to make a point.

It's not about the couch on his property. It's that he's asking valid questions about the source of their authority and that's EXTREMELY threatening. Simple speech is very powerful when it's the truth being used against lies. From how it was described to me, and we'll see it on video soon hopefully, they pounced on him before he could even barely get started. It's like they can't even let the words escape his mouth!

According to AnarchoJesse on Porc411, Ian got about 100 days in Jail based on 3 contempt charges and some other crap.

UPDATE: Audio attached.

[Josh]

It's the kind of experience that makes you re-think everything. And just to be clear, I don't mean re-thinking things in terms of backing off. Quite the opposite.

That's the feeling I had just from Jesse's Porc411 message.

[Tom Sawyer]

They are pretensioned, like a spring under compression.

So all you have to do to disrupt the court is refuse to stand, they are screwed. Their process is vulnerable. Their over reaction is their weakness.

[error]

Do you mean vulnerable?

[dalebert]

Do you mean vulnerable?

Give him a break. He had a long day yesterday. 

[AntonLee]

no justice, no peace  (edit:  not meaning start violence)

who was the judge?

[Josh]

Burke... same as last time.
