Either don't go to court or be prepared to take your hat off.  It's that simple.  The Supreme Court just ruled last week that judges can do pretty much whatever they want regardless of the CONstitution. 

Sometimes standing up just to make a point is just plain stupid.  More and more, the LOT guys seem more like salesmen; salesmen who get themselves into situations they know will get them attention from "The Man," which they in turn use to raise money and to promote Liberty on Tour, The Motorhome Diaries, Cop Block, etc.  Of course it isn't always the case, and they are good guys, but it sure seems that way sometimes.   I absolutely hate being in a cage, but if you don't mind it I guess it's a good schtick to raise a few bucks and get yourself some notoriety, but I don't see how it helps the cause of "liberty." 

Everybody knows the cops are screwed up scumbags.  Just look at what's happened in the last 24 hours - 11 cops shot.

Pete himself would probably argee; John Ross' "Unintended Consequences" is quickly becoming reality which makes this type of activism completely unnecessary.
