MY MEMORIAL DAY 2005

I am a veteran, I believe in the Constitution and I exercise the rights provided and protected in the Bill of Rights, and I'm constantly set-upon by Government officials for doing so.

ISN'T FREEDOM OF SPEECH a HUMAN RIGHT?

"The police are preventing me from campaigning!"


    I’m a candidate for the office of the Governor under the Legalize Marijuana Party and was walking around the beach and the boardwalk on Seaside Heights getting signatures on my ballot petition asking registered New Jersey voters to place me on the 2005 General election ballot for the office of the New Jersey Governor. I rarely wear a suit or a tie, while also wearing my hair in a cultural style that offends some. I openly acknowledge I smoke marijuana, and follow a religion that use';s marijuana as it's sacrament.(RASTAFARI) Many "authoritarian types" take my ethic appearance as a sign of inferiority and under estimate my intelligence and then get angery when I refuse to bow down to thier demented master mentality.


    My political opinions are a direct result of my faith and I poslyetize about my faith in a similar way that Christians like G.W. Bush and consevative republicans do, but my faith (RASTAFARI) is illegal.
    
    So it almost never fails that the first time I show up in a new town, encounter local law enforcement or state officials I'm "set upon" for my public and religious views.  My views are  not shared by many police officers who blindly follow the directions of our "constitutionally corrupt" policiticans in the Demo-publican party.  In a similar way that NAZI soldiers followed the orders of the NAZI Party. You see nothing the German troops did was illegal under  "GERMAN LAW" in accordance with the "master plan". What happens to (non-christian) people like me in AMERICA at the hands of  our "CHRISTIAN" politicans is a serious violation of INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS but its all legal here under the (ruse) guise of the Drug War.


This incident is an example of the human rights abuse rendered everyday in this country under the guise of the drug war. I go thru stuff like this on a regular basis and many laugh erronerously think I did something wrong. This is what AMNESTEY INTERNATIONAL recently commented on. (SEE HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE) - ( "AMNESTEY SLAMS the U.S." ).





 On Memorial day the Seaside police arrested me twice.

 

    First, I was falsly told by the Seaside Heights bike cops that the  board-walk was not “open to the public” and removed from the board-walk by the bike police and issued a ticket. This was a summary arrest, I was not free to leave or return.


 
 

Then I decided to talk to people on the Franklin Street entrance.



 Again I was set-upon on the street corner. I was removed in hang-cuffs and taken to the Police station were I was held for almost three hours from the corner of franklin and the Bouvard. Under a totally bogus charge that I was acting dis-oderly.  I simply explained to the first set of officers that I was operating totally legally but they had falsey claimed the board-walk wasn't public. I wasn't 100% sure since it was only my second time in Seaside Heights and the boardwalk could have been a private board-walk own by some rich guy, so I complied when told by the cops to leave. I told the officers I thought the boardwalk was owned by the city and was thus "PUBLIC".


On the corner of Franklin and the Bouvard Officer Fraas#3404 engaged me in dialogue, I did not seek him out! He came up to me and ridiculed my advocacy of marijuana legalization and asked me if I smoked with my kids. (My oldest is 20 and I have smoked with her!) When I asnwered in the affirmative and contrasted my actions with those of parents who smopke tobacco or drink alcohol with them he was taken back. When I explained to him I was exercising my first amendment rights he got mad when the whole discussion went over his head and he responded by abusing his power as a police officer and arrested me and later falsely claimed I got "agitated and irate" when infact it was him! He tried to claim his attending Monouth County College course's on criminal justice was superior to my school of hard-knocks. He actually did know what education level I attained he assumed by my appearance and his prejudice that I was ignorant and he was superior. Which is typical thinking for his type. (suburban geeky white dude given a badge and power he can't command with his own persence)


SPECIFICALLY
: When I quoted the First Amendment he asked me where I went to school. I didn't answer him since he would not have heard of my elementary school anyway. He then went on to say he had a B.A. from Monmouth County College and was working on something in criminal justice and my school of hard knocks didn't count and laughed (not knowing  that he was the fool that should be laughed at since most people understand the 1st amendment after 4th grade!).  I asked him if he had ever swore to unhold the constitutional and if he had  then he had to allow me to do this.  I then told him when I was his age I was serving my country and this was memorial day, a day all veterans take serious and I was doing what I had earned the right to do.  At this point he threatened to arrest me if I didn't shut-up, I told him he can threaten to arrest me all he wants and can do it when-ever he wants he's the police and has been authorized to arrest people by his superiors who hired him as part time summer help and sure enough the IDIOT did arrest me at that point! Never did I raise my voice or become agitated, when he get's on the stand a claims so it will be an example of police TESTILYING.


Once again, I'm Just A Nigger

 This officer would probably swear he is not a RACIST but I guarantee you had he encountered a white dude in a suit and tie been doing the exact same thing I was he would not have DARED to arrest him. He may even have listened to what he was saying and remembered his 4th grade social studies class on the BILL of RIGHTS. But guy's like him just aren't going let a "NIGGER" like me get away with out talking or thinking him in public. There were at least 6 other officers present.  He resorted to his "TRUMP CARD", he had the power to jailed me and he did.  On May 11th, 2005 I was arrested and attacked by a New Jersey State Trooper
(RASINSKY #5773) for the same reason he couldn't take it that this NIGGER knew his RIGHTS and was willing to stand up for himself in the face of his white ass and blue suit.

OOPs, guess what?

 Tom Murphy who is also running for the office of the Govenor did the exact same thing, and wasn't arrested. Mr Murphy came to Seaside with a group of about 30 people and a firetruck. Plastering signs on telephone poles and walking into business and blocking traffice and he wasn't arrested. Infact a  Seaside Heights Police officer acted as crowd control. Just two blocks from where I was "arrested". Yet, when I point out the different treatment I get in public, I'm called the RACIST

I called 101.5 and the Ocean County Observer after this.


The JERSEY GUY'S SHOW got it right and he's what the OCEAN COUNTY OBSERVER had to say!





Governor-hopeful arrested in Seaside Heights

    SEASIDE HEIGHTS - A gubernatorial hopeful known as "NJWEEDMAN" was arrested on memorial day and charged with disorderly conduct after refusing to stop collecting signatures for a petition.

    Edward Forchion, who calls himself NJWEEDMAN, said he was compiling signatures to run for Governor Monday on the Legalize Marijuana Party.

    He said he was wearing a shirt and had a sign promoting the legalization of marijuana. FGorchion said he collected about 300 signatures Monday in Seaside Heights.

    Forchion was handing out fliers and hanging signs on a railing, Seaside Heights Capt. David Szalkowski said. This is illegal without a permit.

    Forchion was issued a summons for soliciting. When he became agitated and irate with the officers, he was placed under arrest at 7:20 p.m. and charged with disorderly conduct, Szalkowski said.

    Forchion said he stood on the boardwalk and let people come to him, which is not soliciting. If people approached him, then he would ask them for signatures and offer fliers.

    Having signs and asking people to sign a petition is protected under freedom of speech, Forchion said. He stated it was ironic his first amendment rights were violated on a national holiday.

    "I don't want to have a campaign on being arrested, "Forchion said.

    Forchion has been arrested several times and charged with different offenses, including smoking marijuana in the New Jersey Assembly chambers.

On OCT., 19th 2005 this case was totally dismissed by the Judge. The Prosecutor and the Judge both made the statement I had the RIGHT to campaigne or express my views publicly in Seaside Heights. (Like it was ever in doubt)

So as has happened to me so many times I was accosted by the police on the street and vindicated in court, why must I have to prove my RIGHT(s). This is just another example of the constant persecution I suffer for exercising my RIGHT(s) to "FREEDOM of SPEECH" and RELIGION.
