The judge asked the arrested what they did. When he heard the answer, he said that it was about time something like that happened.

Whilst they were trying to carry our a citizen’s arrest of Bush’s chief advisor Karl Rove in Iowa, four motivated people were arrested by the police and taken into custody for disturbing the peace. 

Even though they informed the police that they would try to arrest Karl Rove, they broke the law in doing so by trying to force their way onto a private property. However, the activists wanted to send a message with this to show what Karl Rove has done.

George Bush’s chief advisor, responsible for cheating the nation, and is known to the world for his lies about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, biochemical weapons and the unfounded scare tactics used on the citizens of the USA.

However, the most interesting part in this case is the trial. When the four arrested people came before the judge, he asked them what they had done. They answered that they tried to carry out a citizen’s arrest on Karl Rove, which the judge responded to by saying “It was about time”.

The trial with jury will be held on August 20, and if we are to judge by the support from judge William Price, the jury might be with the citizens and try to do what the state leaders do not want to do.

The following documents contain how to carry out a citizen’s arrest of a politician, without breaking the law. Here is a copy of the actual arrest complaint filed against a Mr. Karl Christian Rove. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
