Another image of typical police-caused destruction from a typical large raid-the one on my house.

For a number of years now, the DC Police Department has been afraid to do the job that we the citizens hired them to do. Fear of lawsuits brought by various radical, leftist, socialist and anarchist groups has for years rendered the DC Police Department impotent in carrying out their duties; but that may have changed this week.
On Monday, May 5, 2008, officers of the Montgomery County (MD) Police, DC Police and US Park Police coordinated a search of the home of well-known DC radical (and bicycle messenger/delivery boy), Luke Kuhn (aka "Wook"). While officers were executing the search warrant of his home, the DC and US Park Police were searching the person and his belongings on a DC street.
Apparently, the investigators took "electronic equipment" during their search of Luke's room in his mother's house, where Luke lives. Luke did not say whether his room is in the basement or the garage of the home.
It is interesting that, after so many years of seeing him in the mobs involved in numerous acts of vandalism and lawlessness on the streets of DC, Luke has finally gotten the attention of law enforcement. Could this recent investigation be related to Melanie Morgan and Move America Forward's successful effort to get federal law enforcement to treat these attacks as domestic terrorism? I believe it is.
Below is the "report" posted on DC Indymedia by Luke, for entertainment purposes. It would be more entertaining if he had given an audio report, but, ALAS! His electronic equipment was taken in the "raid" so you will have to weed the wepoht as if Wook was tewwing the stowy to you:
Dissident Radio Reporter Details Police Raid on Home, Threats, Harassment
Today, Monday, May 5th, Montgomery County Police, seemingly under the command of a detective from the DC police(MPD), raided my home in Maryland while I was not present, seeking to steal any and all electronic devices capable of storing audio or video.

At the same time, in Washington, DC, I was ambushed and searched by physical force by five cops(three park cops backing two MPD cops, and including a detective from "intelligence", Matthew Shinton. They asked questions which I did not answer. They also stole electronic devices from my pack by force. I was not shown any search warrant. It is highly unlikely that anything on these devices will prove a threat to anyone, but others possessing flash drives, etc are urged make sure the same is true of their devices.
The raid lasted from sometime in the morning until about 4PM, maybe later, and caused considerable damage, rendering my sleeping quarters uninhabitable.
The police at my home also stated that they are seeking information on other activists and that harm would come to me unless I provided unspecified information. I am refusing to comply.
=========================================================
Later in the thread, Luke says more:
I am not "Luke Wilbur" I am another Luke in DC, well known to the activist community-and as you can see I wrote this myself.
This is real: A warrant was shown to my elderly mother at home, but none to me on the street.
=========================================================
And further down the thread, Luke checks in to ease the worry of fellow radical lawbreakers:
Update: I am OK, no further police activity. I have legal representation.
My sleeping quarters are sill uninhabitable, as I spent most of the day on the phone either finding or conferring with legal counsel.
How many times to these motherf[edited]ers do this every f[edited]ing day? How many people's homes will be raided in the next 24 hours-in our neighborhoods, in Iraq, and everywhere this motherf[edited]ing empire holds sway.
What happened to my family home was an invasion, born in the minds of those who also invaded Iraq. Being 7/8ths white, though, at least my mother wasn't met at the door by multiple automatic weapons like in some other raids the DC police and their many friends have been responsible for. Had I been 7/8 Native American and 1/8 white, raised in say, Red lake(Anishabe Reservation with severe poverty), I suspect things would have gone far, far worse. The same if i were African-American, a panther activist, and living in Anacostia.
Luke and comrades have made threats against individual DC Freepers, including (Mr and Mrs) Trooprally, ConcreteBob, me and others, as well as threats against Gathering of Eagles and Freeper events.
FYI
Picture looks like my son’s room. He seems to have no problem finding a place to sleep!
Good report. I was unaware that Wouk had graduated to actual thuggery.
‘Pod.
Ol’ Luke says that he’s 7/8 white. My guess is that he’s 7/8 human!
Dude, you still live with your mother?
LOL! That’s what I was thinking. How can he tell if his stuff is “messed up?”
Great report!
Didn’t want to use the DC Chapter ping list?
I hadn’t gotten around to it. That’s next on my “to do” list...

That’s great! What was the response?
Nothin’ yet.
He’s an “activist”?
Oh well. Maybe now he can be active in jail.
laughing AT him.
