Acquitted on all 13 counts of vandalism, jury says Jeff Olson should be free
There is so much wrong with this, I don't even know where to start. every day it seems like there is some new revelation that we are inching ever more closely to the kind of police state where we are granted the mere illusion of freedom by our betters. Judges, prosecutors, and everyone in government need to understand that they are NOT our parents doling out privilege as they see fit. We, the People run this place and if we don't want a law enforced or a particular person convicted, then it is simply their job to comply with our wishes. Judge shore comments that the maximum sentence would never be imposed, and blames the media for misreporting. From his insular and powerful insider position, that may be so but we mere proles don't know that. That is simply the guy aiming the gun saying "I never intended to pull the trigger." And then there is that hideous excuse for a "deal"; thousands in restitution, probation, community service, (Seriously, Mr Olson has already served his community way above and beyond the call.) and a DL suspension! These "laws" are just a mockery of the Constitution as are many of the people who attempt to enforce them. It is clear as day what the case was REALLY about; and it wasn't vandalism.— July 3, 2013 6:13 a.m.
Chalking the plank: Judge won't allow bank protester to claim first amendment rights
All of us who live in North Park should get some chalk and write "**ACQUIT JEFF OLSON**" on the sidewalks in front of our houses.— June 27, 2013 11:33 a.m.

Saying the UT "is behind the times" is more than a little ironic, doncha think?— June 27, 2013 10:52 a.m.
He chalks the line: City Attorney prosecutes man for writing anti-bank slogans in water soluble chalk
Two years ago, I replaced the sidewalk in front of my North Park home. The sidewalk is of course city property, but I paid for it. Technically the concrete is mine. I think I will write "FREE JEFF OLSEN" on the sidewalk in front of my house. See if Goldsmith wants to try and charge me.— June 26, 2013 12:24 p.m.

It is actually about twice that...the for-profit prisons collect about $300 per day, per inmate. So Goldsmith is willing to not only completely destroy someone's life, he will do it with well over a million of our dollars. All to demonstrate that a bank has more rights than a citizen.— June 26, 2013 12:16 p.m.
