Today, Rich Paul was released from jail. For some reason, they called Lauren Canario to let her know she could pick him up. Lauren thinks it’s because she wrote to him in jail and gave him her phone number. As you may recall, last year Lauren was arrested as part of the Trespassive Twelve at the jail for “criminal trespass” for the horrible crime of assembling on public property. You know, that thing they talk about in the first amendment to the US constitution?
So, Lauren goes to the jail to pick up Rich Paul and finds herself arrested for trespassing! After twenty minutes of waiting on them to release Rich, Keene Police officer Uhas rolls up and arrests Lauren. He fills out a complaint then takes Lauren into Keene where she is released from city hall’s district court where she has an arraignment on Wednesday June 8th at 8:30am.
WTF are they thinking? They told her she could come pick him up! As you may recall, Lauren and the others, including myself, were banned from the jail property for a year back in June of 2010. The exception to the ban being when we are given permission to come on the property. She went to the property after they called her and told her she could come get Rich!
Have they just not arrested enough liberty activists recently? Are they begging for a party at the jail parking lot? Clearly they aren’t looking for money, because they must have learned by now that Lauren does not pay fines, right?
