Activists Take ‘Tyrant’ Jury Head-On Inside Courtroom

3

Gavin Seim, a self proclaimed speaker for liberty and an independent filmmaker from Washington, was detained in January for interfering with Douglas County Court proceedings. Seim, along with 20 others, was there to support 19-year-old Tavis T Shasteen who had been arrested in November for refusing to show deputies his driver’s license after he was pulled over for over speeding.

According to Douglass County Sheriff Harvey Gjesdal, Seim got upset as he was not allowed to represent Shasteen so he yelled at the judge and walked towards the bench.

“The Sheriff and two Deputies had to physically hold them back as they pressed to within a few feet of the front of the courtroom. They also tried to block the arresting Deputies as they attempted to leave the courtroom,” the sheriff’s office said.

Seim, famous for organizing the largest felony civil disobedience rally ever held in American history which resulted in the nullifying of i594 gun restrictions, has a different tale to tell though, particularly the reason for which his friend was being tried.

We were attacked, violated and Arrested for defending the Constitution, our right to due process and our right to free speech. It’s time to take back our courts America. It’s time to take back our liberty. The “justice” of tyrants is to accuse their victims of the very actions and crimes they have committed! It was a rigged trial of a young man that Douglas County, Washington officials wanted to make an example of. What was his crime? He asked a police officer why he was being stopped!” Seim said.

County officials attacked and dragged Nathan Seim, Gavin’s brother, out of the courtroom. Gavin was also taken out of the court after a fierce argument with the judge and soon after his 59-year-old father was also arrested. The trio were jailed for 24 hours. Their trials are coming this spring. He is charged with Obstructing a Court, Disorderly Conduct, and Contempt of Court. His father is charged with Obstructing a court, and Disorderly Conduct.

Shasteen was convicted by the ‘tainted’ jury, which had handed him a sentence of 5 days in prison and a year of probation plus fines. Seim believes half the jury were friends or family of the police. The Wenatchee World was the only media allowed inside the courtroom. But the patriots had the courage to stand on principle and on liberty and to look tyranny in the eye with bold defiance and say – I WILL NOT COMPLY!

Seim needs your support. Legal fees and taking on corruption comes at a price. Please stand up to the rising police state. Please donate. Please share this everywhere and call one of these officials if you can.

  1. Section 241 of Title 18 is the civil rights conspiracy statute. Section 241 makes it unlawful for two or more persons to agree together to injure, threaten, or intimidate a person in any state, territory or district in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him/her by the Constitution or the laws of the Unites States, (or because of his/her having exercised the same). Unlike most conspiracy statutes, Section 241 does not require that one of the conspirators commit an overt act prior to the conspiracy becoming a crime.
    The offense is punishable by a range of imprisonment up to a life term or the death penalty, depending upon the circumstances of the crime, and the resulting injury, if any.
    TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 241
    If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same;…
    They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

    For the purpose of Section 242, acts under “color of law” include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within the their lawful authority, but also acts done beyond the bounds of that official’s lawful authority, if the acts are done while the official is purporting to or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. Persons acting under color of law within the meaning of this statute include police officers, prisons guards and other law enforcement officials, as well as judges, care providers in public health facilities, and others who are acting as public officials. It is not necessary that the crime be motivated by animus toward the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin of the victim.
    The offense is punishable by a range of imprisonment up to a life term, or the death penalty, depending upon the circumstances of the crime, and the resulting injury, if any.
    TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242
    Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, … shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnaping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

  2. I have had a similar situation happen to me and Its clear law enforcement abuse their power and in most cases get away with it. I have a lack of financial resources and knowledgeable constituents to work through my personal situations, but this feels like a turning point in America. When I see this it makes me think a lot of good people are going to have to go to jail to stand up to this before any change will happen; just like in the civil rights movement. Its sad when we give this much power to people with only 6 months of basic training and almost no higher education, yet the lawyers and judges that defend and justify their actions have at least 6 years of higher education and much more experience.
