Rick Stanley will be on the radio tomorrow morning at 6:30AM. Stanley will be a guest on Peter Boyles' Denver morning drive-time show which airs on KHOW-630AM.
Check morning editions of papers in Denver and CO Springs for coverage...
Rick was interviewed by the AP, the Rocky Mountain News, The Denver Post, and the Colorado Springs Gazette, His case was spoken of on National Public Radio at least once at shortly after 4pm MST.... Thank you to all the Freepers who are helping us spread the word. We may have all known this was the state of affairs, but never before have we had a judge and an attorney state it so blatantly. It figures the Judge got his JD in Boulder, CO!
Constitution?!!
Constitution???
We donn need no stinken Costitution!!!!
IF these statements are accurate (but I doubt that, no lawyer I know would ever say the constitution has no force), then they are pretty scary.
I'd like to see an independent news source document this stuff.
"...Say, Rick, I was wondering - when you all leave Denver, do you have to get a visa to visit in the united States of America or a green card to work outside of Denver. Also, in case I get a wild hair up my butt, where do I go to get a visa to visit the dictatorship, Denver. As I understand it, it is now a country foreign to the united States of America. At least that is what your sh*t-for-brains judge and city attorney has said...."
So Rick Stanley has sacrificed himself to expose the City of Denver for what it is -- a Totalitarian territory, operating outside the constraints of the Colorado and U.S. Constitutions.
I guess "home rule" is the little socialist code word that will be popping up in court rooms all over the U.S. when inividual citizens attempt to assert their "Constitutionally-protected Rights" which are NOT being protected by anyone.
POLICE STATE freepers!! GOVERNMENT TYRANNY!! Any of you Republican-Bushie-Cheerleaders give a crap?
What's the big surprise here? The U.S. Constitution has been void in the entire United States since 1913. Where ya been?
Agreed. I think both LIberty Rocks and Stanley are seeking their 15 minutes of fame. No doubt they've slanted the truth in their attempts.
How do you know they did excellent work! You just admitted that you haven't even read an accurate and objective account. Typical rush to judgment from a no-nothing, pompous stooge who is always wrong but never in doubt.
Senate candidate convicted on gun charge
By The Associated Press
May 16, 2002
Rick Stanley, a Libertarian candidate for the U.S. Senate, was convicted today of unlawfully carrying a weapon after he went to a rally carrying a loaded handgun in a holster to make a point about gun laws.
The six-person jury deliberated just over an hour. Stanley faces up to a year in jail and a $999 fine at his sentencing on July 25.
Stanley said he will appeal and still plans to run for the Senate. A misdemeanor conviction would not bar him from holding office.
He argued the city ordinance prohibiting loaded weapons in public is unconstitutional.
"I tried to defend myself using the Constitution, and the judge wouldn't allow it," Stanley said. "This is a serious problem and the American people should know."
The Dec. 15 rally marked the 210th anniversary of the Bill of Rights, and Stanley said he brought the Beretta .38-caliber semiautomatic handgun to illustrate his right to bear arms under the Second Amendment During the trial, defense attorney Paul Grant argued that Stanley was carrying the weapon to defend himself because he had received several threats.
"You also have constitutional right to carry weapons for defensive purposes," Grant said.
