The small town of Moscow, Idaho, is continuing to live up to its name.
This latest dust-up — the second in less than a year — centers on 18-year-old Rory Wilson, a college-aged student whose educational aspirations were sidelined by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in him enrolling in classes at the close-to-home New St. Andrews College.
Rory Wilson and his 14-year-old brother are now facing 13 criminal misdemeanors — charges that flow from an ordinance that has reportedly never been used to prosecute anyone in the city.
The teenagers’ dad, Nate Wilson, who is also facing a charge for “aiding and abetting” his kids, told Faithwire over the phone Tuesday he believes there’s “no way” the trumped up charges are anything more than, as he put it, “[The city attorneys] want to get a Wilson trophy. They want to bag themselves a Wilson.”
What’s the background?
Rory Wilson, the valedictorian of his graduating class, was walking across campus last semester when police officers pulled him aside and allegedly threatened him with jail time for standing too close to his cousin, according to a press release published Monday.
That encounter with police sparked within Rory Wilson an opposition to the ongoing mask mandate in Moscow, an order the mayor, Bill Lambert, has indefinitely extended using his emergency powers. Rory Wilson has asked the city council to allow the mandate — and its criminal enforcement — to sunset, or “set clear limits” on what legally constitutes an “emergency,” noting allowing Lambert to take unilateral action without any check results in “no objectivity.”

Once again, we see that the right to freely assemble, right to speech, right to worship are no longer in play.
There goes your First Amendment.
Hey, what’s next?
The PoPo in Moscow don’t have any actual open crimes to solve and resolve?
The kids admitted to disrespecting the cops by asserting their legal rights.
Shame on them
I am surprised that the Cops did not order them to undergo anal covid tests before throwing them in Jail
They would have been ok if they burned down some businesses...
The second amendment.
And that is NOT a joke.
Where did we first see widespread mask use?
In China, at the command of the Chinese Communist Party.
Masks are not about the virus.
They are about control and dehumanization and flushing out the “hooligans” who do not obey.
Once again, we see that the right to freely assemble, right to speech, right to worship are no longer in play.
There goes your First Amendment.
Hey, what’s next?
Had ENOUGH Yet ? ........................ Enforce the Bill of Rights .........It is the LAW.
Exactly. It never was about a virus.
That’s just idiotic! Take notice of real crimes!
How dare any American to speak their minds!
The first two boxes failed, only one remains.
Moscow Idaho is as bad as Austin, TX, Madison, WI and Ann Arbor, MI.
But better than Berkeley!
Criminal charges! This is where we are at. Arrest those who speak out. Did they arrest BLM? antifa, those peaceful snowflakes? Do they arrest anyone who is a person of color for opening their mouths, anyone transgender, gay or lesbian?
Idaho crime spree
They still have pics and names on the Moscow PD website. Save it, take notes - before it’s erased. They obviously feel quite comfortable and safe being tyrants.
No mistaking that Rory is a Wilson. Despite the mask obscuring the bottom half of his face, the top half of his face immediately put me in mind of his grandfather. No love lost between the Doug Wilson family, Christ Church, New St. Andrews and the civil government of Moscow, Idaho.
In fact they will cheer it on.
They will happily tell you that they hope those kids get raped in jail because how DARE they even question what the government is doing.
They will tell you that they are not Nazis/Communist/Statists.
But they are.
