What do you get when you mix an investigative journalist from a politically conservative media site with January 6, 2021, and gun rights?
Answer: You get another excuse for a judge to strip an American of their rights under unproven pretenses to make that journalist a target because the journalist doesn’t push the narrative that the current administration favors.
Or, at least, that’s what it looks like to me, and, maybe, it will look the same way to you, too. You be the judge. Dave Urbanski writes,
The federal government denied Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker’s pretrial request to lift a gun possession restriction on him over Baker’s “alleged threatening statements” at “public officials” on January 6.
Washington, D.C., federal Judge Christopher R. Cooper’s minute order said Baker’s Pretrial Services officers cited “safety concerns” in regard to Baker possessing a gun — and Cooper added that such concerns are “heightened” due to Baker’s “alleged threatening statements directed at specific public officials during the riot on January 6, 2021,” which Baker covered that day as an independent journalist.
Cooper also denied Baker’s motion to lift a requirement that he notify Pretrial Services before entering Washington, D.C., “given the gravity of his purported misconduct inside the Capitol on January 6, which was allegedly targeted at high-ranking federal lawmakers.”
Now, to give you context as to the “gravity” of Baker’s alleged crimes, he has been charged with four non-violent misdemeanor charges by the Justice Department in connection with reporting on January 6, 2021.
Yes, four non-violent misdemeanors. That’s not a typo.
But, apparently, four non-violent, borderline non-crimes that he is being charged with (after all, they aren’t felonies) are enough for the judge to strip Baker of his Second Amendment right to be able to defend himself?
Yes, that’s what they’re saying.
Sounds rather fishy, don’t you think? In fact, doesn’t it reek of lawfare to you on the part of Joe Biden’s Justice Department, an attempt to use the courts to punish a political opponent?
Yes, yes, it does. And this kind of evil use of the court system is one of the many reasons that we need to work to get good, liberty-minded, gun-rights-supporting people into office all over this county and at the Federal level. We need people in office who will work to return this country to its founding ideals. Because that actually helps everyone, whether they think it will or not.
I enjoy your writings about the rotten government/court actions.
I wanted to mention that we seem to be on a slow creep to Marxism. Any thoughts along those lines?
slow creep? We are the frog in the slowly heated pot. Frog is almost dead, still believes he is free? How STUPID can you be?
I agree; stripping this reporter of his 2nd amendment and Trump of his 1st amendment is very Marxist.
In ’59, Nikita Khrushchev announced in the U N that they would take over this country without firing a shot. Then in ’63 just after we went to Viet Nam, the anti-American hippies and 70% of the dems back then signed on to the New American Communist party. Since that time they have slowly and incrementally moved their agenda forward until now it’s wide open for all to see what they are about. This is the communist party at work in our country. First they go after the guns (assault weapons, which they cannot tru ly define) then the free speech of every American. You say what the government wants you to say and think or you will be prosecuted. They have been talking about “assault” pistols. I have a pistol but don’t know, because i have never seen an assault pistol before. I haven’t heard anyone sho is able to define that term.
And yet , we have illegals getting away with Murrder right here in the USA. How can anyone trust the FBI anymore?
the ones (FIBbers) that pulled off an insurrection on Nov. 22 1963, are taking away our rights? Need to read the constitution. Judges are to hold office only during “good behavior”. Being a biased tyrant or a Woke idiot, is NOT good behavior. Need to be let go…. no pension, no nuffin !
IT’S TIME TO DISBAND THE FBI>>>THEY HAVE SYSTEMATICALY <>ATTACKED THE REPUBLICAN PARTY>> THE 2ND AMENDMENT,>> AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH??
they will continue to abuse & offend, until they face resistance, opposition or defunding. RED states need to separate from this evil empire called Amerika. Amerika has had a yankee problem for 163 years
