Anti-war protester tries to handcuff Karl Rove (Moonbat Alert)
MSNBC ^ | 10/22/2008 | ap

Posted on 10/22/2008 6:01:14 AM PDT by tobyhill

SAN FRANCISCO - An anti-war protester confronted former Bush administration aide Karl Rove while he spoke at a San Francisco mortgage bankers' meeting.

A statement by the group Code Pink identified the woman as 58-year-old Janine Boneparth, who tried to handcuff Rove in what she called a citizen's arrest for "treason."

None of the five women were charged, not even that one. FGS, Karl, man up and get her charged with assault, then sue her for violating your civil rights.

What happens to depraved criminals like this? Are they arrested, charged, and thrown in jail? Or are they escorted out of the area and let free? In a sane and rational world it would be the former, however I get the feeling that it is the latter.

The answer is no. It happened in SF so that should tell you why.

Rove needs to arm himself. There will be more attempts at lynchings if Osama wins the election. He can be considered in “legitimate fear of his life” if any of these terrorist supporting thugs tries to lay hands on him.

Isn’t Colin Powell also a war-criminal??

Oh, I forgot - the Central Committee of the Party and Dear Chairman Obama has rehabilitated him. Powell is now re-classified as a glorious servant of the Revolution!

I’d charge her with false arrest and sue the organization for every penny they have under RICO.

As Harry Belefonte said years ago, Powell is their “house N” now. That was all it took to rehabilitate him. A shift to the politically correct Party. Endorse a Marxist and the attacks on character cease.

I reject calling her or the other moonbats ‘antiwar’. They aren’t ‘antiwar’, they’re anti-American, especially, they oppose American victory in war. Do they oppose any wars that America is not involved in?

Rove and those folks are going to be in danger if 0bama is president. Rush, Hannity et al can speak up on their behalf for as long as we still have free speech but won’t have much power to protect them. I hope the GWB does not just retire to his ranch and remain “presidential.” When members of his administration are being threatened and prosecuted, he is going to have to speak out. Being non partisan and honoring any so called gentleman’s agreement to not criticize other presidents is not going to cut it.

What would have happened if Karl had thrown a haymaker and broken her nose?
Would he have been arrested?

What was Rove doing in San Francisco anyway? All Republicans and conservatives should boycott that city. Stay away and give them none of your tourist money. They have been boycotting things for years, it’s time they get some of their own medicine. No conventions, no speaking engagements, no visits period.

Like he's going to do that. And nobody's listening to him now anyway. Why would that change?

Do you think this is extreme??

The Democrats will seek to codify this kind of behavior if they are allowed to gain a real majority control over both Houses of Congress. The first one you'll see in handcuffs and a Hannibal Lector mask will be Rush Limbaugh...

Was she shot on the spot by the Uzi-wielding Secret Service detail?

Just once, I want to see someone stand up and catch one of these attackers with a quick jab to the nose when the nutjob rushes the stage.

Sure, there’s security, but if our side would stop just sitting there with a stupid look on their faces and actually respond to aggression in kind, this sort of thing would be on the decline instead of the rise.

If she wants to act like a thug, she deserves to be treated like a thug.

Break her nose and send her to the hospital in handcuffs.

So no, I’m not surprised they are cheering her on. let then encourage her, maybe next time she’ll get a real wake-up call when she assaults someone who doesn’t have a security detail instructed to handle threats with kid gloves.

Did she really think this thing through? If she managed to handcuff him, then what? What was she planning to do after that?

CITIZEN'S ARREST - from Study Guide

A citizen's arrest is a formal arrest by a citizen has no official government authority to make such an arrest as an agent of the government. The California Penal Code gives any citizen the right to make a citizen's arrest of another citizen in three alternative situations:

A public offense was committed or attempted in the citizen's presence.

The person arrested has committed a felony, although not in the citizen's presence.

A felony has been in fact committed and the citizen has reasonable cause for believing the person arrested has committed it.

Why do we need a statute like this? Why do we need a "citizen's arrest"? Well, as the crime rate goes up, it becomes more and more important that good citizens come to the aid of one another in distress. Without such a statute, only government agents, such as police, would have the authority to stop a felon in progress. By creating the "citizen's arrest" statute we give ordinary citizens the authority to hold another citizen without fear of being sued for false imprisonment. Without the statute, the citizen who interfered in criminal activity would risk such a lawsuit.

Even with such a statute, the citizen still risks being sued if he/she is wrong on his assessment of the situation. Notice that the statute requires that the "public offense" be in the citizen's presence, or that the person arrested have committed a "felony," that is, a crime punishable by one year or more in state prison. Do you know which crimes are punishable by one or more years in state prison? Can you be absolutely sure the person you are arresting is the one who committed the offense? What if there were three people involved? Can you be sure which one is the one you should arrest? At the very least, a defense lawyer is going to argue that the requirements for citizen's arrest were not met and that the arrest, and any consequent seizure of contraband, were illegal.
