Russell arrested 4/10/07

[Russell Kanning]

Russell said last night that he wants to buy stamps and envelopes from them so he can send letters.  So he asked me (and whoever else wants to) to put money in his commissary account.

thanks Lloyd for the money

"Offender"? What ever happened to "awaiting trial" and "innocent until proven guilty"?

they called us offenders in the jail too ..... some of them might be innocent.

[Russell Kanning]

You can't mail stamp, envelopes or blank paper.  He's going to be writing on the backs of printouts we send him.

Hm, that means I should send him more stuff.

thanks for all the stuff error

[error]

Thanks for looking tyranny in the face and telling him "Whatever," Russell.

Russell,

Will you join us in the studio on Free Talk Live this Friday at 7 pm ET and tell your story?

[Tom Sawyer]

It was to great see Russell's smiling face this evening. 

[FTL_Ian]

Actually, Saturday 7p would be better.

...this is not the first time Russell has been ensnarled in this type of activity (he was arrested in an IRS building claiming freedom of speech rights to ask federal employees to quit their jobs)

what is funny .... when did I ever appeal to the 1st amendment or otherwise mention "freedom of speech"?

I knew if I sent anything you would get out. I would have sent it sooner, but, I had no feel for how long you wanted to stay

[money dollars]

Has the state "broken" you?

I have not declared revolution.

I see you have a NH license plate as your avatar. Do you also have a drivers license?

yes.

How many days did you spend in jail, for the same reason Russell has?

None. What was the reason?

[John]

I woke up to the sound of his voice. It was weird.

That's got to be really nice.
BIG HAPPY!  Glad you're all together again!
Much Love to you all!

[Russell Kanning]

Plus maybe some decent-human-being bureaucrats.

they wanted money from me and accepted my time served to pay for it .... that doesn't seem like a decent thing to do .... but better than torturing me.

[Russell Kanning]

How is it a victory?

They broke russel, he was going to plead guilty.

How many days did he spend in jail?

no great victory .... just good that they didn't send me off to jail for even more time .... there is hope.
But I was guilty .... so after I thought about it .... I told them so. They were very happy to get rid of me.

hmm...well, gandhi always pleaded guilty

exactly .... I am guilty of breaking their rules. I continue to do so. I didn't promise the government I would change my behavior.
