when i was at katuah the scuttlebutt was that a permit was signed tuesday and the LEO's were being hard asses BIG TIME.

this Email we received seems to confirm the latter.

WE NEED A PRESS RELEASE SENT TO THE LOCAL TV, NEWSPAPER AND RADIO (KKOB AND KUNM) ANNOUNCING THE FOLLOWING:



THERE WILL BE 75 COURT HEARINGS TOMORROW IN THE NEW MEXICO FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT AT 333 LOMAS BLVD ALBUQUERQUE. THIS LOCATION REQUIRES GATHERERS TO TRAVEL 120 MILES FROM THE GATHERING.

THERE ARE LESS THAN A HANDFUL OF MARIJUANA CITATIONS AND THE OTHER 70 OR SO CITATIONS ARE FOR TRAFFIC OR FOREST VIOLATIONS THAT PEOPLE NORMALLY CAN SEND A FINE IN TO PAY IF THEY ARE FROM OUT OF STATE. THESE HEARINGS WILL SHOW THAT THE RAINBOW GATHERING IS NOT BEING TREATED WITH AN EVEN HAND BY FOREST SERVICE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WHO SHOWED UP ON THEIR OWN ACCORD TO ATTACK THE GATHERERS.

A GROUP OF VOLUNTEER LAWYERS ARE GATHERING TO ASSIST THE GATHERERS IN DEALING WITH THESE TICKETS AND TO RAISE PROTEST WITH THE COURT REGARDING THE OPPRESSIVE NATURE OF THE TREATMENT OF AMERICAN CITIZENS WHO ARE BEING NEEDLESSLY HARASSED AT A COST OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE EXERCISING THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO GATHER IN THE WOODS AND PRAY FOR WORLD PEACE AND CELEBRATE HUMANITY. AS PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS SAID IT IS NOT PROPER TO INTERFERE WITH THE RIGHTS OF ASSEMBLY AND FREE SPEECH IN IRAN AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING AT THE RAINBOW GATHERING IN NEW MEXICO.

END MESSAGE.

Damn, already eh? I knew the New Mexico L.E.O's were gonna screw with folks hard, but that was fast. My friend ari was at the last regional out there and had a gun stuck into his back for trying to hand off his friends medicine to the cops when they arrested him for having a joint.

 

Where do you think you're living?The United States?----Oh,wait.

 

Lmao,, ok good point there

 

Pretty sad we don't even have the illusion of rights anymore.

 

The leo's were being hard in NM, I thought that was a mellow state, but what is a mellow state. I mis the family, and coundn't make it. I possibly can get to a reigonal, don't know. PEACE & BLESSINGS! LINDA
