Judge slams Occupy arrests as ‘unconstitutional,’ throws out case!

The judge added that the selective enforcement of the curfew, combined with the Chicago Police Department's harassment of protesters in the days leading up to the arrests, supported “a finding that the city intended to discriminate against defendants based on their views.”

Judge Donnelly threw out the arrests, and slammed the city for denying the protesters their First Amendment rights. Citing the park's long history of political rallies dating back to Abraham Lincoln, Donnelly quoted early city leaders who resolved in 1835 that the land that became Grant Park "should be reserved for all time to come for a public square, accessible at all times to the people."

The judge's opinion stood in stark contrast to that of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s administration, which in the months leading up to the NATO conference in Chicago had repeatedly pointed to the handling of the Occupy arrests as a new model for respecting protesters' rights.

There have been some pretty good things coming from Judges lately. Now if only the supreme court would overturn Citizens United and Obamacare.

all those 500,000 protestors should be praying for that judge, they should send a contingent to thank him and let him know the people have his back. They should make sure everything is ok with him and his family, every night.

Everyone of those protestors should be willing to police any problems as a result of his stand against these powerful forces.

These 'zombies' in the DHS training are carrying signs that say '99%', they are training PRIVATE security companies, to handle Occupy Wallstreet, companies like BlackWater. They want them DEAD.

I bet Trinity is pretty upset by this ruling.

Never believe evil is almighty. There are good people too.

who "owns" the city and who pays for these harassments?
a private campaign against the protesters of enforced poverty is embezzlement of city funds. city hall should be helping, is it there for the people or just a center of oppression?

stop looking at the fed for awhile. look at the county you live in, your city or town. who owns everything where you live?
you would be suprised how few truly own what you see.
property welfare sacrifices people for property.
result is high profits but unstable society.

most and highest gov handouts go to the owners of property.
that's just a statistical fact.
considering bonds and cash to be property is at fault.
perhaps we are all bottom feeders to them,
but we sure are feeding them.

How is Iceland doing after the changes?

being ripped appart silently under the cover of government "owned" banks.
just read about kleptocracy and tenderpreneurs.
it's treason.
organized takeover of public property and embezzlement of public funds (tax)

sound familiar?

Fuck me!

A Chicago-Irish judge ruling against Harrison J. Bounel?

The world is turned upside-down, I tell youse!

"The city plans to appeal the judge’s ruling. "


they just cant stand it when its not in their favor huh....

Let this be a lesson to law enforcement:
The next time an Occupy rabble forms, shoot to kill.

Power to the people!

Time to sue the city and the police to bankruptcy!

You really have no idea how anything works, do you?

When you sue "the city" or "the police", you're just stealing from the landowners who pay the taxes.

We are all land owners! Power to the people!

Compared to the City stealing it for themselves?

You don't own shit. Your parents' house doesn't count.

YEAH!

Time to fire the police force! OWS is the new force in town!

The Occupy heroes are true Americans, real Americans, you are just a spastic.

Because they are seeing, and listening.

The ones that aren't, are corrupt.

uuhh..so were the Indians..would u like some beads for Manhattan?

The corrupt judges must be removed!

im not with that MORAN

You're an uninformed and blind moron.

And that's a provable fact.

Occupy is a Soros/Democrat/Obama psyop, fucktard.

That will leave us with about 3 judges.

The people is the ultimate judge.
