They are keeping him locked up, I believe, to make his defense more difficult. It is also punishment by process.
I have read the impact statements for the restraining orders against David Carpenter. They are very specific and credible. I will be publishing more on that. The media in Billings is having a field day demonizing Gabe, who never threatened anyone, never pointed a gun at anyone, never assaulted anyone, and has no criminal record or record of violence.
He had/has legitimate reason to fear threats, including deadly threats. There is very good reason for him to have a firearm to defend himself, his mother and his home. So, of course, after refusing to protect him and his mother, the police conspire to have the federal agents disarm him and imprison him, without bail.
Thank you for posting.
