Apple Juice: Newest Terrorist Weapon?
Igniting a gallon of apple juice is not yet a crime
in Amerika, so this is classic FBI harrassment.
Also, he has already done the time for his previous
actions (you can't be punished for the same crime
twice) nor for telling the historical truth
surrounding that event.
Those of us who care about freedom, civil liberities
and the integrity of honesty and truth in human
communication and solidarity must be in the streets
outside the federal jail when this courageous person
arrives in handcuffs. He wears the chains of our
future.
San Diego grand jury indicts environmental activist
Environmental activist Rod Coronado arrested for
"teaching and demonstrating" at a 2003 San Diego
lecture
Tucson environmental activist Rod Coronado was
arrested Wednesday afternoon at his workplace by
agents with the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF). The arrest is in
connection with a Grand Jury indictment in San Diego
charging Coronado with "teaching and demonstrating" to
others how to commit arson at a lecture he gave August
1, 2003 in San Diego . According to the FBI press
release, Coronado "taught and demonstrated the making
and use of a destructive device, with the intent that
the device be used to commit arson" at a public
gathering in San Diego's Hillcrest neighborhood. Three
animal rights activists in San Diego were jailed for
contempt of court in 2005 for refusing to testify in
the secret Grand Jury investigation.
Coronado is not charged with setting a fire 15 hours
before his lecture that caused $50 million in damages
and destroyed a large apartment complex under
construction in the University Towne Center area of
San Diego. Neighbors observed that ATF agents searched
his home in the Dunbar Spring neighborhood for several
hours.
Coronado will be arraigned at the Tucson Federal
Courthouse at 2 pm Thursday afternoon, and possibly
extradited to San Diego soon. It is unknown at this
time whether he will be released after the arraignment
today, or held in custody.
Coronado's arrest is the latest in the string of
arrests across the country related to environmental
and animal rights related actions.
Thursday 3pm update: Coronado was formally charged
with felony "distribution of information relating to
destructive devices" at a 2pm arraignment hearing. He
is scheduled to have a Detention and Removal Hearing
Monday at 10:30 AM with a different judge, U.S.
Magistrate Judge Charles R. Pyle (Courtroom 2C).
Coronado will be held in custody until Monday. Twenty
supporters attended the 2pm hearing. Tensions were
high in the courtroom, and one supporter was asked to
leave after she "made eye contact" with Coronado.
. For those interested in giving assistance, a fund is
being set up for donations to help support Coronado's
children
