Libertarian Presidential Candidate Unjustly Jailed, Takes Action Against the Police State...

• Free Thought Project

On Saturday, December 11th, Adam Kokesh was driving down the Colorado interstate with his two dogs. He was on his way home following a protest demanding Justice for Johnny Hurley – a close friend and fellow activist recently gunned down by Colorado Police after heroically stopping a mass shooting. He was then stopped by officer Cristian Guaderrama of the Center Colorado police department for not having license plates on his vehicle.

Moments later, Kokesh would be handcuffed and kidnapped, at some point having his arm broken, and thrown in a cage.

His alleged crime? The possession of psilocybin mushrooms. Now, he resides in Saguache county jail where he has mounted a peaceful protest against what he views as an unconstitutional arrest and abuse of power. Refusing to accept bond or bail, or appear before a judge. As to do so would be to accept responsibility for a crime he didn't commit. A "crime" which has no victim.

As TFTP has long pointed out, "victimless crimes" — offenses where there is no actual harm done to persons or property — aren't actually crimes at all. But merely arbitrary edicts enforced by a system attempting to legislate their version of morality under penalty of extortion or violence. Put plainly, where there is no victim, there is no crime.
