Some jurors who were called in the case of the Amish farmer took a brochure and were reading it in the courthouse when the judge became aware of the material. What happened next is almost unbelievable.
Mr. Woods was threatened with arrest unless he would come into the courthouse to be questioned. Fearing arrest, he entered and was confronted by the prosecuting attorney, with the judge ultimately ordering his arrest, and his bail was set at an unbelievable $150,000.
The violations of Mr. Woods rights, including his right of free speech and prohibition against excessive bail amounts, were clearly known by the judge, the prosecuting attorney, and official setting the bail, and yet Mr. Woods remains with a felony charge against him for simply passing out literature in a public forum.
Unfortunately, the tyranny that we are seeing from government officials comes from the top. How often have we seen Obama absolutely ignore the Constitution and simply decree his decision and demand subservience to his will? These petty tyrants and scoundrels are following his lead, and it is absolutely terrifying.
The idea that we agree to follow a set of rules like those set in the Constitution is what sets us apart and prevents chaos. Though some may bend the rules if permitted, the idea that most will abide by the words set forth in the Consititution provides us with a foundation upon which to build an orderly and functioning civilization. As we have seen with events like the rioting in Ferguson, if the government refuses to honor the central tenets of our Consititution, or to ignore the rights bestowed on all of those in this society, we risk destroying the foundation upon which our blessed nation was built.
As for Mr. Woods, his trial is still pending, here’s hoping that jury members in his trial have a chance to read the pamphlet that he was providing others and will have the courage to rebuke and reject this out of control judge and his law enforcement toadies.

Get convicted of a felony and you can’t own guns. If you are not convicted then you can own guns. And you can not own guns in between arrest and being found not guilty. If you are convicted then you are banned from owning guns for life .
Government tyranny wake up sheep
