A disturbing message from San Diego activist Mike Benoit about how he was wrongfully arrested in Manhattan for exercising his First Amendment rights by distributing Fully Informed Jury Association pamphlets in front of a court house letting jurors know they have the right to judge the law as well as the facts of a case and acquit defendants who broke the law if the law is wrong or is unfairly applied. Kudos to the Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital psychiatrist into whose custody he was placed for doing the right thing!
Mike deserves our appreciation for his heroism in continuing to hand out fliers and not give up his rights in the face of being victimized by federal thugs who accessed his FBI records and threatened him with arrest. When it comes to our rights, sadly, it's often "Use them or lose them." Let's send the message they cannot take away our freedom!
Love & Liberty,
