Kelo Report, Part 1

[Lloyd Danforth]

I am not bashing her for her silence. We gain nothing from her silence and neither do the FT. Trumbull property owners.

[Michael Fisher]

Meet at the prison @ 1:00 pm tomorrow?

We'll be there!

[Russell Kanning]

Hey Lloyd should we come through Hartford and meet up with you on our way to the prison?

Thanks for the offer, though.

Should we stop by your place on the way home then?

[Russell Kanning]

No, invite me when there is some anti- Eminent Domain stuff going on down there. ?I don't see what Lauren's actions have to do with anything. ?A lot of people , including FT Trumbull proprerty owners were not allowed to enter the meeting, but, only she was arrested.

They backed down and she didn't. She lives there now. She wanted to go to the meeting. They should have let her in.
I think that her freedom is more important than their houses. She was just taking ED to its logical conclusion for all of the residents. They have refused to leave in the face of government orders ...... so did she. We should not let the government pick apart her actions as not pure enough.

[Russell Kanning]

I understand she is not cooperating with the authorities, because she believes they don't have the right to do what they are doing to her. ?I agree with her. ?But, I would be telling them. ?I would not remain silent and hope they figure it out for themselves.

I agree with her methods. If the right situation came up I would not let them fingerprint me and tell them I am Shorty Dawkins.
Maybe we will have to do the speaking.

[Russell Kanning]

Lauren is suffering for our freedom - this much is clear.? The least you can do is stop bashing her for exercising her human right to remain silent, especially when this is done at her expense and for our gain.

We all will have different levels we can support Lauren. She did not plan this imprisonment .... so none of us were prepared for it.
Most of us live too far away to show up for most things in a timely manner. All I can do is show up outside the prison on Sunday. Her husband would like donations of teddy bears .... so that gives an outlet for some people's support.

[Pat K]

Pat.? Come up here to CT, get yourself arrested, refuse to give your name and be fingerprinted and never even tell the authorities why.
Then explain to me what principal this all about and how it moves the fight for liberty forward.

I praise Lauren for moving to FT. Trumbull and appreciate her keeping us informed about what is happening there.

Giving the finger to the gov and telling them they have no rights over you is activism.

Blocking whatever authorities who come to take FT. Trumbull property is activism.

I don't know what getting arrested for a questionable reason, jailed for refusing to cooperate and not even letting them know why is.

I don't have the guts to Llyod.

[Lloyd Danforth]

She may not have planned her imprisonment, but, she planned on getting arrested and must have know that not cooperating would lead to them keeping her.

At least some of the FT. T.  property owners didn't get in and managed not to get arrested.

They didn't just refuse to let in anti-ED people, they simply ran out of space.

The meeting had nothing to do with ED!

The gov is not picking apart her actions as not pure enough!  They don't care! They're just treating her the same way they would anyone else who wouldn't just give their name, get fingerprinted and sign themselves out.

If she had claimed to be Shorty Dawkins, I would be impressed!

You can't speak for her because you only assume you know why she is doing this.  As I said on the other forum, for all we know, she may have had a stroke and can't talk.

[Pat K]

I bet a hundred bucks she has not had a stroke.

[Russell Kanning]

you need to listen to the mp3 from FTL from the first night ..... they packed the room so that none of the residents could be in the meeting

[Russell Kanning]

they should not hold anyone for failure to testify ..... you are innocent until proven guilty .... she has not hurt anyone or threatened to do so ..... so she should be free until they prove that she has hurt anyone.

[Lloyd Danforth]

Had the meeting been about EM, which it wasn't, and, I was one of the owners effected, I would have been at the door when it opened and in the front seat!
What did they pack the room with, if not residents?

[Lloyd Danforth]

I bet a hundred bucks she has not had a stroke.

You're probably right.  I wasn't banking much on that theory.  You're not makuing a quick 100bucks off of me!

[Lloyd Danforth]

Who?

[Lloyd Danforth]

See ya tomorrow
