LEGAL UPDATE: ADL-LA’s COURT ORDER

As some of you may have heard Judge Stewart Rice appears to be working right along side city attorney Rocky Delgadillo and prostitutes Spencer Hart (aka “Hartless”) and Richard E. (“Crafty”) Kraft, to unlawfully convict the non-profit charity ADL-LA of focused picketing. They are also precluding ADL-LA’s freedom of speech by ordering ADL-LA to remove the pictures above from ADL-LA’s www.StopTheKilling.net web site by August 31st (which ADL-LA complied with, although ADL-LA is APPEALING this ludicrous attack on their free speech rights.)

In short, Judge Stewart Rice, Rocky Delgadillo, Spencer Hartless and Richard E. Kraft are intentionally and with premeditation, seizing first amendment rights from legal above ground activists. But this type of illegal, unscrupulous State repression levied against grass roots activists has throughout history simply forced others to get involved and step up to the plate to fight harder; not only for their cause, but to make a statement against those who use their political power to oppress and repress citizens. When the State came down against Civil Rights activists, it just made others want to get out and get involved, and the same with other social causes including women’s suffrage and illegal occupations of other countries.

Activists have been vigorously writing to ADL-LA for over a month (from all over the world) claiming that because the city has a “hard-on” particularly for ADL-LA, they are even more inspired to do their own pickets, and a few are interested in creating another web site regarding the Department of LA Animal Services.

ADL-LA is certainly eager to see the creativity of those who are determined to make sure that Rice, Delgadillo, Hart ‘less’ and Kraft don’t completely shred the Constitution and continue their flagrant assault upon ADL-LA in order to climb their own dirty political ladder.

While innocent, precious, healthy and treatable animals are being murdered daily against their will in LA city Death Camps, Ed Boks is cooking the books and lying in order to stay in power and keep his upwards of $200,000.00 per year salary. Other LAAS and city employees/officials like Jimmy Blackman, are not just allowing this, but perpetuating these horrors.

Judge Rice concluded that even though activists spent only 14% of a July 2nd picket walking by and/or in front of Boks’ condo, (this works out to 86% of their time away from the condo,) he still considers that a violation of the “focused” picketing ordinance! Furthermore, even though INDEPENDANT activists (who were not members of ADL-LA) went up to Boks’ public communal call box and tried to ring him on that bright, sunny July day, Rice is holding ADL-LA responsible and ordering the animal charity to pay a fine of upwards of three thousand dollars!

Judge Rice is pretty loose with animal money that ought to be spent on helping animals; but instead is forcing ADL-LA to pay money (which it does not have) into an unjust system hell bent on killing tens of thousands of homeless and lost animals every single year. But like most Judges, especially in the lower courts, they are not concerned with helping animals or protecting first amendment rights, only continuing to brown nose Rocky Delgadillo and the ‘system’ so they can move up, make more money and obtain more power.

In conclusion, ADL-LA is appealing these orders not only because they are ludicrous, but because the oppression by the State (the State in this case being the city of LA under Rocky Delgadillo) has resulted in making some activists afraid to participate in legal demonstrations!! These right wing, neo-con’s like Delgadillo, who ‘does thou protest too much’ about other’s activities, are in fact guilty themselves of violating laws much worse then using someone’s communal public phone box! But the good news is that animal rights activists are passionate and relentless; and they will win their struggle to stop the killing of innocent, sentient beings who are being killed because of Boks’ corrupt and incompetent system of “management by Death.”

YOURS IN THE STRUGGLE,
