Dada in Federal Court 7/17 .... leads to 4 days in jail

[Ogre]

Does anyone know exactly what law he was charged with breaking?  I'd like to know as I prepare my copy of Dave's original handbill that I'm mailing off to the Keene IRS office...from North Carolina...

While soldiers are 'enablers', they are hardly 'showered' with money, and, of course, lucky to get home with all of their limbs.

Cool video

Both of these say county jail.  Which one is it?  You need his Unit and Cell number to send him a letter to the second one.

While soldiers are 'enablers', they are hardly 'showered' with money, and, of course, lucky to get home with all of their limbs.

Yes, they are lucky to get home with all of their limbs, plus they are not receiving proper medical treatment for mental illness etc. when they come home shattered emotionally/mentally. It is a hard life for a soldier because while they *do* sign up for it and they are paid tax free dollars and given incentives like homebuyers grants, etc...war is hard, killing is hard and it's not pretty over there. A lot of troops are coming home in bad shape and they aren't receiving good care.

I'm sorry to have made such a general, blanket statement about our men/women in uniform. I had jumped in the shower and was turning this all over in my head and the only thing I could think of was a person I know who has just been deployed overseas. He is a Major in the NHANG and was telling me about all the money he is making while he's over there. It is a lot of money...it's a lot of money...he was showing me the paperwork that detailed how much money was going to be direct deposited into his bank account every month and then said "But I'm really rearin' to get over there because the best part is, it's the only chance I'll ever get to kill people legally" and then made a "shooting a gun" motion. When I told him that disgusted me, he said "Hey, freedom isn't free" and laughed.

So...I just got mad. I know the reason this guy I know will make tons of money (tax free earnings) while he;s over there is because he is a Major...I also know that because he is a Major assigned to a "behind the scenes" mission he won't get close to the action and probably won't get to "have" his "one chance at killing someone legally"...but it made me mad to think that he is being called a hero for "fighting for freedom" while Dave Ridley is sitting in jail.

I apologize again for my blanket statement...I'm jsut so mad. I'm heartbroken that such a nice person who hasn't broken any laws is in a cold hard place with people he doesn't know who may or may not be friendly.

With the draft, during Vietnam, soldiers were, clearly, victims.  Not the ones who wanted to go kill Yellow People, of course.  Some of the folks serving in Iraq and Afganistan want to be there, but, most, are, probably, just victims of thinking they could join the military and get some 'free' education or training and avoid actual war.   Many joined the National Guard with the idea they would be able to help the people in their state in emergencies and get some help paying for school.  Sure, they could refuse deployment, but, along with what the military will do to them, it will bring a change in the attitude in their immediate community, as well.
But, one agrees to do their bidding when thy join and I see these people as Enablers.

what piece of paper did Dada hand out in the Nashua office?

[Russell Kanning]

"But I'm really rearin' to get over there because the best part is, it's the only chance I'll ever get to kill people legally" and then made a "shooting a gun" motion. When I told him that disgusted me, he said "Hey, freedom isn't free" and laughed..

I think by definition .... "freedom" is "free"


Thank you for helping Dave in so many ways RattyDog. He will feel the effects of your concern in a very real way.

This was Dave's flyer:


IS IT RIGHT TO WORK FOR THE "INTERNAL ROBBERY SQUADRON?"

I have the right to remain silent.  IRS agents have the right to quit their jobs.  If that is not possible, they have a responsibility to work as inefficiently as possible when taking our money, and as quickly as possible when returning it. Smiley

I'm here to respectfully ensure they know that I do not appreciate what they are doing and to make them feel uncomfortable...morally, not physically.

IRS taxes fund torture, waste and unconstitutional Federal mandates like the privacy-killing "Real ID."

the horror

[Ogre]

I'm just still in shock.  I posted a copy of Dave's handbill on my blog and someone actually commented that they thought the "morally uncomfortable" could be interepreted at "mental abuse."  Oh, I dearly hope they were kidding.

This is just literally beyond insane.  I really want to find the law that says that "distribution of handbills" is illegal.  I'm guessing it's a federal law since it's somehow a homeland security issue and he's been transported across state lines to imprison him.  I'm going to send a modified version of that handbill to the IRS office in Keene (maybe about 6 of them, 1 a day) -- and I want to know what law it violates so I can be talking to my US Rep and Senators.  If there really is a federal law that says that's illegal, it has got to go.

This is the old thread on the subject, if anyone wants the older info:

I have searched Thomas and the US Code, and handbills are not there.  Well, the only places you can find "handbill" is in regards to Federal Election campaigns (and candidates printing them), advertising with them for devices that are illegal, using them to advertise for veteran's benefits, using them to advertise illegal drugs, or using them to print fake money.

That's it.

Anyone know where I can find the initial court case, file number, ticket number, or SOMETHING that actually lists the federal law which he broke?

[Russell Kanning]

it could be a "regulation"
I hate to see anyone running on the government treadmill.
