Jeff Olson, the Mad Chalker, prosecuted by city attorney for words in front of Bank Of America
If the Bank of America did force this prosecution and the City Attorney filed and pursued it in order to further his political ambitions (quite a miscalculation, if true), then I think the Bank should be sued in civil court for malicious prosecution and abuse of process.— July 7, 2013 4 p.m.
Jurors selected, trial begins in case of anti-bank protester
How is it possibly relevant that some Bank of America apparatchik was "frustrated?" As far as I'm concerned that opened the door to permit the defense to talk about the First Amendment. I can't decide if the statement from the City Attorney's office is pure BS or hogwash. What a travesty.— June 29, 2013 11:15 p.m.
Chalking the plank: Judge won't allow bank protester to claim first amendment rights
Excellent point. If "malice" is an element in this case then very obviously Olson should be entitled to talk about his First Amendment rights.— June 29, 2013 2:49 p.m.
Chalking the plank: Judge won't allow bank protester to claim first amendment rights
This entire thing is a huge embarrassment to the City of San Diego and is a graphic demonstration of the very point Olson was trying to make, that Wall Street and the Big Banks own our public officials. The prosecuting attorney who filed this thing should have his/her head examined. The judge is very obviously trying to avoid further embarrassment by not giving the jury any basis for jury nullification. I think Olson should be acquitted in about 2 1/2 minutes with a verdict written in chalk. What a joke.— June 29, 2013 2:47 p.m.
