And then laughs when the defendant cites the First Amendment.
So this is in Xenia, Ohio.
That gentleman was out there panhandling.
You can see the ticket right there.
Which is a misdemeanor out there.
And he was cited for the infraction, goes to court, and it's reported that Judge Catherine Barber laughed when the defendant cited the Constitution in his rights.
To free speech in the United States of America.
But this isn't the first time we've documented a public official blatantly ignoring the laws of the land.
Here's an open carry rally I attended back in 2013 where a gentleman here, Terry Holcomb, was arrested for carrying a black powder pistol, which is not illegal in the state of Texas.
And when we tried to explain this to Texas DPS, they blatantly ignored the facts and arrested him anyway.
There we go.
Firearm.
Any advice to Zion made to adapt?
It's not a firearm.
Keep reading.
Energy generated by that substance.
Keep reading.
Don't mumble.
Any firearm made into the part folding that place?
Thank you.
Let's see.
Thank you.
Got quiet there.
Thank you.
Sergeant.
Sergeant, I did notice that you stopped reading out loud.
Can you tell us the part that you were reading?
Yeah.
The definition of firearm.
Okay.
What does it say?
Firearm does not include a firearm that may have as an integral part a folding knife blade or other characteristic of weapons made illegal by this chapter and that is an antique or curio firearm manufactured before 1899. The definition of firearm was determined in 1898. So long
story short, they arrested the guy anyway, even though he has a clear understanding of what the man was carrying, was not officially a firearm and thus not illegal in the state of Texas.
And we'll end tonight with this, another example in Austin.
This is our former mayor of Austin, Lee Leffingwell.
John Bowne and others went to a hearing on fluoride, and this is what they got for their efforts.
They got flipped off by the mayor and acting very...
Unprofessionally when he was faced with his constituents.
