Why Can't We Get Protesters Like That?

[Jacobus]

Lew Rockwell links in his blog to this interesting story of tax protesters in the UK storming a court and arresting the judge:

I think Joe Haas can point out the fed judge in concord for you to arrest.

Very interesting... I wonder if there could be a spread of unrest due to the happenings in the middle eastern countries. One can only hope... and agitate.

Arresting someone is a serious action to take. I'd like to see preconditions that make this a socially acceptable action before its just tried and labeled criminal.

If these guys can build up enough local support, good for them.

Grand juries.

[Russell Kanning]

THIS STORY WAS UPDATED AS THE SITUATION DEVELOPED AT THE COUNTY COURT YESTERDAY.

Protestors have "civilly arrested" a judge at Birkenhead county court.

A crowd of several hundred people has massed around the court.

Police have begun forcibly ejecting protestors from the court in chaotic scenes.

Made up of people from across the UK, the marchers say they are exerting their "ancient right to lawful Rebellion under Magna Carta."

Around 20 police vehicles are now in attendance and several dozen officers are at the scene, some with dogs.

The crowd, although largely peaceful, is chanting "freedom" and "arrest that judge."

good if its a dirty judge they should be arrested, Im happy to here theres more people out there willing to stand up for themselves and protest this. 

[Russell Kanning]

I don't like it when cops "protest" the actions of decent upstanding citizens. We need to support the men and  women "just doing their jobs" arresting this judge.

judge burke next?

[Russell Kanning]

if you do it ... others will join you

[Sam A. Robrin]

...except when they don't.

[Russell Kanning]

have you tried arresting a judge yet?
that is too exciting to not be followed

Another story on the British Constitution Group (BCG), known most prominently for efforts to publicize the "Lawful Rebellion" issue. Noted are their use of social networking, their impeachment of Mrs. Elizabeth Battenberg (a.k.a. Queen Elizabeth II).
