Congrats Brad!
Congrats Brad!
One thing the judge said concerned me. "West Allis may pass a law in the future that bans open carry."
Seeing it as a "gun" issue only, most probably don't care. But if we can get more people to realize this was a violation of our civil rights in general we maybe can get a more sympathetic following. If this charge had been for another constitutionally protected right would the response have been different? In reality all citizens should be sincere and pissed off with any right that is infringed upon by the government, and should come together to right the wrong.One thing the judge said concerned me. "West Allis may pass a law in the future that bans open carry." I left right away, but on my way out I mentioned it to an an older guy. He said he doesn't think it would ever pass. I don't know though?
I was the second to last guy to get there this morning (gray suit, yellow tie) and I expected for see standing room only. Pretty sad that only a few people showed up, and only one news camera. I think people in general just don't care.
So if people don't care, and it would "solve they problem" for the police.......
Who knows, maybe it's just paranoia. :?
He will.I would also ask/hope that people continue to support Brad and encourage him to seek a civil judgement against the city.
I don't know what Brad's plans are, but this victory today, while just, will be even more resounding if Brad were to choose to sue the city.
First, yes, if there was ever a clear case for a civil suit, this is one. Second, does anyone know if Brad will have to file a separate petition for return of property, or was that a part of the judge's order?Congratulations Brad, and thank you! We owe you gratitude for standing up for your rights, and by doing so, stand up for everyone's rights.
I was pleased with the number of people who appeared to show support. We'll see how the press handles this, but it's good that there finally is some press coverage in Wisconsin.

The judge refused to return his weapon.
Found not guilty, but the government keeps your property anyway. So much for freedom in West Allis, WI.
Well, Hugh, I'm not surprised. It seems usual that someone must still file a petition for Return of Property.This judge did not have the jurisdiction to return the weapon. Not the same as saying he wouldn't...
Attorney Steven CainDoes anyone know who Brad's legal representative was? I wasn't available to attend the trial.
