Full title: Judicial Watch Victory: Court Finds Federal Photography Charges against 75-Year Old Los Angeles Veteran Robert Rosebrock Violate First Amendment ...

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today announced that a California U.S. District Court has ruled that 75-year-old veteran Robert Rosebrock cannot be prosecuted for taking photographs at the “Great Lawn Gate” entrance to the Los Angeles National Veterans Park. The court also ruled, however, that Rosebrock must stand trial on Tuesday, April 18, for purportedly displaying two four-by-six inch American Flags above a Veterans Affairs (VA) fence on Memorial Day, May 30, 2016. The rulings were handed down in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (United States of America v. Robert L. Rosebrock (No.CC11, 4920201; 4920202; 6593951)).

In addition to the photography charges, Rosebrock was also cited on Memorial Day 2016 for purportedly displaying the two napkin-sized American Flags on a fence adjacent to the Great Lawn Gate at the entrance to the Veterans Park...Judicial Watch attorney Sterling E. Norris, a former Los Angeles County deputy district attorney, and Los Angeles-based defense attorney Robert Patrick Sticht are representing Rosebrock, who faces up to six months’ imprisonment if found guilty on the flag-hanging charge.

I'm having trouble processing this.

Nothing was done to the squatters who left TONS of trash, even a corpse, when they were tossed off public land in ND, and this VETERAN may go to jail for displaying 2 tiny AMERICAN FLAGS on a VA fence?

PRESIDENT TRUMP, come to the rescue of this brave AMERICAN HERO.

What Democrat Federal Prosecuter is still in place to prosecute? There’s your problem right there.

“The court also ruled, however, that Rosebrock must stand trial on Tuesday, April 18, for purportedly displaying two four-by-six inch American Flags above a Veterans Affairs (VA) fence on Memorial Day, May 30, 2016.”

And yet taking brides, selling out your country for cash as secretary of state (like selling Russians uranium) is just all fine and dandy. But don’t you dare put an American flag on a VA fence.

Laws are only for the schmucks. F ‘em.

These activities are ok but not two little flags?

Excerpted:

“”The court also found that the reasons offered by the VA for banning news photography on the Great Lawn was inconsistent with the numerous non-Veteran and non-therapeutic uses of the lawn allowed by the VA, which include using the lawn in the past for the LA Marathon, the San Francisco-Los Angeles Lifecycle cycling tour and fundraiser, celebrity carnivals/fundraiser, and parking for a PGA tournament. Rather than dismiss the photography charges, however, the court gave the VA the opportunity to drop the charges before Tuesday’s trial. If the VA fails to drop the photography charge, the court will dismiss them.””

If I’m correct, all the graves at the VA cemeteries on Memorial Day have flags, don’t they? What on the earth is the reasoning behind their complaint or don’t they even need one?
