This is BS! O'Keefe allowed to travel to CPAC were he says next video 'ready to go'
THIS PISSES ME OFF! THIS POS IS "charged with entering federal property under false pretenses with the intent of committing a felony, charges that carry maximum penalties of 10 years in prison and $250,000 in fines." ADMITS HE'S PLANNING TO CONTINUE HIS BEHAVIOR AND IS ALLOWED TO TRAVEL? HE'S MAKING A MOCKERY OF OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM, BECAUSE HE MUST KNOW HE'LL GET AWAY WITH IT! CAN YOU IMAGINE IF HE WAS A DEMOCRATIC AF AM ACTIVIST? :mad:



James O'Keefe says next video 'ready to go'

James O’Keefe, the self-styled guerilla investigative journalist celebrated for his video on ACORN and arrested last month in New Orleans in an attempted expose of Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu, got a rock star welcome at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference Thursday.


O’Keefe, 25, wasn’t scheduled to do any official events at CPAC, as the conference is known, but he attracted plenty of attention as he waded through the lobby of the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, where the conference is taking place, posing for pictures with admiring fans who wished him well in his pending court case.


O’Keefe became a instant conservative celebrity last year when he and a partner, Hannah Giles, released secretly recorded videos of them posing as a pimp and prostitute while soliciting advice from employees of ACORN, the liberal community organizing group, on how to set up a brothel.


But last month, after he and two other men entered Landrieu’s New Orleans district office pretending to be telephone repairmen, while a fourth man waited outside, they were arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service and charged with entering federal property under false pretenses with the intent of committing a felony, charges that carry maximum penalties of 10 years in prison and $250,000 in fines.

In a short interview in a hotel hallway, O’Keefe told POLITICO he had another investigative video “ready to go,” though he wouldn’t reveal the topic or the timing. “I’m always ready to go,” he said.

1. He is probably not a flight risk since he makes himself visible and
says he will continue to make films. All, including the media will know where he is.

2. The point is that pukes are never punished or suffer any consequences for their crimes.
It will be up to a citizen to see that O'Keefe is not able to commit any more crimes. The authorities are not interested in enforcing laws against the reich-wingers.

3. He hasn't been convicted of anything
While I agree that nobody is above the law, this slime isn't below it either. It was determined he wasn't a flight risk (the only thing that would have kept him from going).

4. Yeah - use that justification with anti-war/anti-poverty protesters who are kept in jail without
being let go to live at home and travel freely. They were not convicted either.

As long as the justice system is broken and supports the crimes of the reich and punishes the lawful actions of the left, there is no reason to respect or obey its laws.

5. Two wrongs, etc.....
I can't complain about one and let the other slide. You got a beef, bring it to the parole officer.
