Chalking the plank: Judge won't allow bank protester to claim first amendment rights
**fredjones2005 June 26, 2013 @ 9:42 a.m. You have the information to make this a national story. ** Your wish has been granted my young Padawan!— June 26, 2013 11:56 a.m.

Blogger vs. behemoths
** Larkins wrote: “…Shinoff makes Vito Corleone look like an altar boy. Shinoff has destroyed the lives of many individuals and families; only God knows what his body count is.”** This is an opinion and is 00% protected free speech. Anti-SLAPP should be used here, but in my experiences the anti-SLAPP laws are now being used by Big Business to silence the little guy, the opposite of what they were designed for.— June 26, 2013 9:41 a.m.
Chalking the plank: Judge won't allow bank protester to claim first amendment rights
Time/place of arrest/detainment makes no difference. They don't even have to arrest him, they could just send him a letter saying charges have been filed and show up at court on day xyz for arraignment— June 26, 2013 9:28 a.m.
Chalking the plank: Judge won't allow bank protester to claim first amendment rights
The problem is the judge is acting like the lead prosecutor by excluding evidence/legal theories that would sink the prosecutions case, like a free speech defense. This shit happens ALL the time. Cynthia Sommer was falsely convicted of 1st degree murder b/c the judge let the prosecution argue absurd issues (like she bought breast implants!!) in 98% of the case, instead of material evidence that pointed to guilt. If it can happen in a 25-life murder trial it can happen anywhere.— June 26, 2013 12:23 a.m.
Chalking the plank: Judge won't allow bank protester to claim first amendment rights
**Tosdal exited the court room shortly after. "I've never heard that before, that a court can prohibit an argument of first amendment rights"** == Judge Shore has now become the lead prosecutor, b/c he KNEW this case would not result in a conviction if ALL the facts were open to the jury-so he gamed and rigged the trial.— June 25, 2013 3:44 p.m.

Escondido set to approve big contracts for city manager, city attorney
