Subject: SNET: Eyewitness at Roby Rallies


->  SearchNet's   SNETNEWS   Mailing List

When the Montana Freemen were surrounded by
633 federal agents, the standoff had escalated to
the point that armored cars and ambulances were
en route.  That was probable cause for me to
believe that bloodshed was imminent.  So, on
behalf of the People of the USA, I filed a
civil action in Garfield county court, Montana,
for a Temporary Restraining Order (aka "TRO"),
to restrain all government officers and employees
from using any lethal force in their ongoing
negotiations with the Montana Freemen, and also
from depriving any Citizens of Montana within
that county of Their life, liberty, or property,
without due process of law.  The Petition in
such a case need not be elaborate or lengthy,
because time is of the essence.  As I recall,
it was only 3 to 4 pages, total.  You can see
that original Petition in the Supreme Law Library,
in the case of People v. United States et al.
The exact same thing could be done in Roby,
as a way of bringing everyone into court, at least
to chill any trigger-happy law enforcement
personnel, and to review such matters of fact
as the existence/absence of any verified complaints.

TRO = Temporary Restraining Order

These usually last about 30 days, then they
are converted to a permanent injunction,
on application of the Plainitiff(s).
In People v. United States, the Plaintiffs,
obviously, were all the People of the USA.
