Lauren Canario arrested in New London

[mlorrey]

Fuck you too, Kevin.

Did I attack you, Kat?

You were writing out of concern for Lauren and frustration with the system. Mike took your vent --which you later said you don't know to be true-- and ran with it in a news release.

I don't believe Mike intended to deceive. But he posted as fact something not known to be true. If one hopes to have credibility, that is something that one simply cannot do!

I don't think you're lying, Kat. You're a very honest person. You believe it's likely that Lauren is held in shackles around the clock. It would be a lie to say that she is when you know she's not, but that's not the case here.

KBCraig,
As government thugs are creatures of habit and procedure, it is reasonable to assume that, barring an order from the Governor, the prison would treat her this time the same way they treated her last time, by their 'book', if she exhibited the same behavior. That they are clearly holding her incommunicado is iindicative that they have something to hide. I'm sorry to say it, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if she had some sort of "accident" between now and the hearing. That is how these thug-asses work.

On the plus side, this story got over 4600 hits on my blog. If even 1% of readers called the prison, or one of the governors, about her treatment, then we would be getting through. The ONLY reason government hides information or people is when they have something to hide. All of you should know that by now.

"legal"?
These people have not held "title" to their land for years. They have all been squatting "illegally" since 2000 or so.

In any real estate sale, even by eminent domain, it ain't sold until the money is in the bank.

Now, for the corrections, I've posted an update. Digg it up:

Lauren is still in jail and we don't know what is happening to her. To act like that is normal or right .... or that the state prison is not an evil system ..... is just wrong. It is like discussing how much torture is appropriate. There is no good reason to lock up Lauren.

We got some work done at Jim and Lauren's place today. We will do it again tomorrow morning if you want to join us.
Waterballooning and party at our house to follow.

I had been led to believe she was on property she had a legal right to be on, by permission from the owners, either verbally or by lease. The material I read was that she was at Van Winkles home with his permission, and was on his porch.

you specifically said that she had previously leased the property...

Until they get their checks, its still their property, even if they did sign a deal with the development company or the city.

did they give someone explicit permission to board the house up to keep out homeless squatters or did they give permission to the homeless too?

being "on a porch" is hardly squatting in the home.

Lauren said she wasn't squatting but rather homesteading...

I hate to be the one to agree with Frank on anything but he brings up a good point.  Factuality is very important here.  If the FSP starts putting out information that ends up being wrong it's going to lessen the credibility of everyone within the group.

How did the FSP get involved in this? I'm confused.

Some of the releases that have gone out directly tie her to the FSP.

Here's an example:

http://intlib.blogspot.com/2006/10/eminent-domain-protester-canario-held.html

Lauren Canario, Free State Project member noted for protesting against REAL ID and most recently, the eminent domain taking of Mrs. Kelo's New London, CT home, is being treated inhumanely in Connecticut's high-security York Correctional Institution.

As soon as her name is associated with the FSP it represents the FSP.

[Lloyd Danforth]

There is no need to mention the FSP in any releases.  I noticed Dave did this a while back and meant to ask him about it.

Is that a bad thing? If so, why?

It's a bad thing IF the facts coming out are wrong because it makes the group look like its lying.
