Des Moines, Iowa (AHN) -- Four people were arrested Friday for attempting to make a citizen's arrest on Karl Rove.
The group of three Catholic workers and a retired Methodist minister and Peace and Justice Advocate were cited for trespassing and released after trying to enter the Wakonda Country Club in Des Moines where Rove was scheduled to speak at a Republican Fundraiser.
The small group were acting under Iowa law that states private citizens have a responsibility to arrest someone if they believe a felony has been committed. That person is then turned over to police officials and a judge for formal indictment. Under the law a federal judge must evaluate the charges and decide if an indictment should be made.
This is the second attempt by two members of the group to arrest Rove, whom many believe should be held accountable, along with other members of the Bush administration, for war crimes, murder and lies to the public related to the Iraq war.
The retired minister, Rev. Chet Guinn, 80, told reporters who were on site for the pre-arranged arrest that everyone who remains silent when major crimes are being committed against all humanity becomes an accomplice.
“three Catholic workers and a Methodist Minister”.. So what?
Plenty of Catholic workers are not going to vote for Obama either because he’s in favor of infanticide when babies are born alive during late-term abortions. SCREAM THIS FROM THE ROOFTOPS!
The writer of this article is merely trying to give some phoney moral value to the actions of these four idiots. Funny, isn’t it? Usually journalists use Catholics for whipping boys and girls, but not if it serves some other purpose promoting liberalism. Then suddenly being a Catholic gets meaning. Jerks, that’s what I call them.
Waht a bunch of self-righteous, arrogant b@st@rds!
“There are now books about how Bush is guilty of “war crimes”. I see real problems ahead.”
You are quite right. Recently I heard Vincent Bugliosi discuss his book “The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder” on the Michael Medved Show. It was truly scary. Though left wing, no one can portray Bugliosi as a kook. How he cannot see the damage he is doing to his country is beyond me. The thought that his efforts might actually move beyond the monetary profit his thesis is enjoying, and into action, is frightening. He should fear the monster run amok, on men on his side of the aisle as well as the right wing. Political disfavor is moving into the realm of criminality, and the fate of Robespierre cannot be too far behind for those in power if the trend continues.
If we think of the “Bush is guilty of war crimes” kooks as weeds or mushrooms, the problem is that they seem (to me) to be spouting up everywhere. One kook running around saying it is one thing. Incidents popping op everywhere from New York to New Zealand and as you say people like Bugliosi getting in on the act seems to me something altogether different. What at one time seemed to be way “out there” steadily becomes “mainstreamed”.
The left indeed wants to criminalize political differences, just as Robespierre, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao did in their times.
Whenever this has been tried the results have been predictably bloody.
I fear for our nation.
The blurb doesn’t say, but I’m guessing the three Catholics were members of Pax Christi, and I’m also guessing they’re over the age of 60, since most of the lib Catholic activists got their start in the late 60’s, and early 70’s, near the end of the Vietnam War. They’re graying more every day.
Good question.
This really borders on terrorism. What I worry about is what if moonbats like these decide to go to the next level and appoint themselves jusges and executioners?
Now that they’re in custody, let’s have a judge offer them the traditional “jail or the military” option for first timers. Then, regardless of their choice, let’s parachute them into Zimbabwe to continue their good work on Mugabe.
And dropped off near an Al-Qaeda training camp in Pakistan.
“Go, Karl. Go, Karl. It’s my Birthday. Go, Karl.” :)
Happy Happy, Joy Joy... Happy Birthday!!!
IOWA=Ignorant Obnoxious Worthless Assholes
Apoligies to any Iowa freepers and other patriots. It obviously doesn’t apply to you.
Bwahahahahaha
The difference is President Bush liberated a country from it’s ruthless dictator and evil regime. The others did not.
They must be David Letterman’s fans.
No... the better question would have been... why didn't they arrest Bill Clinton for bombing Serbia with NO United Nation approval or Congressional approval?
Zimbabwe allows citizen arrests?
