Fire-Dragon Protestor Burned by 200G Bail
New York Post ^ | August 31, 2004 | LAURA ITALIANO

Posted on 08/31/2004 10:20:52 AM PDT by beyondashadow

A judge yesterday threw the book at a protester arrested for setting fire to a papier-maché dragon near the Garden during the protest march on Sunday. Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Patricia Nuñez ordered Yusuke Banno, 21, held in lieu of $200,000 bond or $100,000 cash on charges of inciting a riot, resisting arrest and assaulting Police Officer John Park, 26, whose hand was burned making the arrest, authorities said.

I hope this serves as a lesson to the other liberal lunatics running loose in New York this week. An arrest now isn't gonna be a trip downtown to have your picture taken and then home to mamma.

There was a protest in a college town in the midwest in 2001. A cop was punched during the protest. The county prosecutor dropped all charges, citing the 1st amendment.

Those little-tuft-of-hair-on-the-chin "beards" are just totally, nauseatingly, gay. Pukus maximus.

Despite a few bad apples, most NYC judges are tough as nails and don't suffer idiots very well. These judges have seen it all and they use an iron fist on those who show disrespect for the system. They deal with punks everyday and they know that a good judicial kick in the a*s is what most of these people deserve. They are fair but they can be very severe when the guilty party deserves it.

More info at Newsday.

Also charged were Nicholas Klinovski, who was held on $20,000 bond and Nathan Eberts, who was held on $10,000 bond.

Maybe some of his buddies in the photo?

I think part of the reason for the harshness is that they sneaked the road flares or whatever the were into the area. Could have been a test run for something stronger than a road flare.

I like this judge....

You and me both! This, in fact, is how you prevent riots from occurring ... by making arrests and cracking down hard. It's humane, because it saves both lives and property.

"So can perps be held indefinitely if they refuse to ID themselves?"

Probably. If they don't ID themselves, how can you even know they are citizens?

We have the right not to testify against ourselves, I'm not sure we have the right not to even ID ourselves.

Yusuke Banno is a Japanese name - wonder if he's a Japanese national and not an American citizen?

I believe the US Supreme Court recently declined to overturn a decision that upheld the arrest of a citizen for failing to provide ID.

Maybe their names are incriminating, as with the guy who did identify himself.

If so, they have a Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. However, in order to prove that they do have such a right, they'll have to reveal their names.

Sure he didn't just make it up (nom de geurre) and the judge doesn't realize it? Someone let the judge know pronto...

Doesn't matter - who's gonna front that much bail money for someone whose identity can't be 100% established?

Best news I've heard all day.

I hope this chump and his comrades enjoy jail food -- looks like they're going to be eating a lot of it.
