Yep. Something like that. It would really bring organized value add to this FR site and really make it rock to the umpth degree. Even Jim’s driving mission for the site is and has been to “expose corruption”, so it is in agreement. A critical part of that is developing a vigilant infrastructure which shines a constant Light (TRUTH) on Darkness (LIES), said Darkness due to its nature as evil preferring the shadows if not obliteration from the public domain if at all possible of these sordid things, whereas we often want to pull this from the dark cave of obfuscation and corruption—warts and all—and put on display for all to see, one and all, worldwide. I see it as a fundamental battle and fundamental to our victory in so many areas and on so many fronts.

You know in theory, that’s a good idea. My experience has been the minute you try to organize something that by nature is spontaneous- you’re in for disappointments.

If we look at some of these “events” on FR- we normally cover the challenges you mentioned.

Someone shows up who will copy/paste or otherwise save the website. We always share the links and URL’s in posts so experts are able to take it from there. We almost act as though we DO have a pre-arranged agreement and normally I see pings to other freepers who might know more about this topic- or where to find more.

We invariably have someone who lives in or near the area the news is happening- we get police dispatches and scanner traffic, local news stations and streaming coverage when necessary. Or someone’s cousin was there and called the freeper and gave an eyewitness account.

I don’t mean to throw cold water on your idea- I just have an innate distrust of committees! But- that’s just me and I’ve been wrong before.

I have seen the arrest warrant for his felony perjury charge posted on FR. Does anyone know the outcome of that case? I was thinking if he was convicted, he surely could not be a gun owner since that’s a no no. Did he plea bargain out. Did nics not catch it?

Anyone know what happened with that case? I thought the weed charge was a misdemeanor, so that wouldn’t affect his purchasing a firearm.
