News reports of the action

March 6 trial update: ALL CHARGES DROPPED! for lack of evidence, sloppy police work, lousy witnesses, and worthless spying.

Documentation of police spying from the court records used as evidence.

And a big hearty welcome to Detectives Manzanares, Sgts. Whitlock, Compton, Duval, and the Vice, Narcotics, Intelligence (sic) squad who like to surf this website looking for vicious criminals that practice the 1st amendment "crime" of free speech, peaceful assembly, redress of grievances. Since the streets are free from violent criminals and there's nothing to do at VNI, take a few minutes to brouse with those of us who's only "crime" is to disagree with the present administration, and believe the socalled prsident should be censured, impeached, arrested, tried, convicted, and jailed for life for high crimes and misdemeanors.
