David Codrea: Washington activists plan peaceful armed assembly response to activist’s arrest
Reacting to the “catch and release” of one of its leaders for openly carrying a firearm on federal grounds that ban firearms inside the facility, Washington activists are planning a responsive armed demonstration, the Our State, Our Rights coalition announced today on Facebook. Liberty for All and Defend Amendment X will gather in front of the Tom Foley Federal Building in Spokane next Friday to protest the arrest and detention of Anthony Bosworth by DHS police on Wednesday.
“Bosworth … was arrested, detained for five hours in a steel cage without charges, denied Miranda rights, and access to an attorney, interrogated by the FBI as a domestic terrorist, and then released with a citation for ‘failure to comply,’ even though his civil rights were clearly violated at every turn,” the protest announcement explains. “His only action was that he was standing outside the federal courthouse at a 10th amendment rally, while legally openly carrying a firearm. The Feds have still not returned his firearms.”
Activist and citizen journalist Mike Vanderboegh, who had earlier addressed Washington State activists, first at an “I Will Not Comply” (with the state’s recently passed gun owner registration initiative) rally in December, and more recently at a protest to the closing off of legislative galleries to openly armed citizens exercising their right to bear arms, noted his name came up in Bosworth’s interrogation.
