Truffle Season, It Is Here
SFist Tonight
Code Pink protester Janine Boneparth tried to place former Bush administration aide Karl Rove under citizen arrest at the Mortgage Bankers Association in San Francisco yesterday. As Boneparth tried to arrest him for treason while speaking on stage, Rove "elbowed the woman away as she was escorted off the stage." A total of five Code Pink activists were removed from the building, but no one was charged. (SJMerc, KGO)

Keep trying, folks. Keep trying.
why didn't they just kick him in the balls? How did they resist that urge?
If Rove elbowed somebody, isn't that grounds for an assault charge?
I see the makings of a whacky screwball comedy
Karl's In Charge--
Fat kid from goonies as Rove,
and we'll just keep Mona as Janine Boneparth
everyone knows who code pink is, but does anyone know of anything they've done that's at all good?
They aren't in it to do any kind of good; they are in it to get attention from the media.
Too bad it wasn't in Kentucky. Kentucky criminal code (s.37) states that a private citizen has the authority to kill a fleeing felon while making a citizens arrest.
(I had to do a paper on citizens arrest...my advice, don't try it)
Define "good"
medea benjamin is a noe valley homeowner. she got hers.
Isn't it funny how whenever Code Pink or another citizen yells from the audience (yes i know she went on stage this time, too bad she couldn't do what this gov't should do) at a right winger, they are arrested or thrown out immediately.
But yell Kill him, Terrorist, etc., get methed up and plan on shooting Obama during the convention...nada. zip. FBI says they are trying to find out who said it. For the love of everything good, someone got thrown out of a SHOPPING MALL for wearing an Impeach Bush t-shirt.
If you think Code Pink is crazy, you might want to take a closer look around you. At least they are trying to do something.
cue benny hill music..
holly, why not?
Code Pink = Clowns
Katy: Basically, you have to know that the person committed the crime (if a misdemeanor, you must have actually seen the crime take place...for a felony, you just need knowledge of the crime) and the person you are attempting to arrest has essentially got to be okay with the arrest...which is the problem. Especially for felonies. Most people won't volunteer to stick around for a citizens arrest, they will attempt to flee, which will then lead to assault/battery/false imprisonment charges being placed on the person attempting the arrest...depending on how far you take it.
I guess, perform all the citizens arrests you want...just don't touch the person or keep them beyond their will. Which means, you probably won't be successful.
oh, and this varies a LOT between states (ie, kentucky law) what I just mentioned is regarding CA laws.
he should of punched the skank in the mouth
