Lauren Canario Arrest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaITPIRHJ3c

NEW LONDON, Conn, Oct. 23, 2006 - After serving 31 days in prison, Free State Project member Lauren Canario of New London was ordered at yesterday's hearing to be held indefinitely pending a future trial.

Canario was arrested on Sept. 22 for refusing to leave one of the properties seized in the controversial Kelo vs. New London decision, in which the Supreme Court ruled that government can take homes and give the land to private corporations.

Anti-eminent-domain protestors held "Free Lauren Canario" signs at the city jail after she was arrested for sitting down in an attempt to prevent the boarding up of Fort Trumbull homes. The neighborhood was recently seized by the City of New London. She has been held for the past month pending a hearing and she is refusing to be represented by a lawyer.

Protesters arrived early Monday to support Canario. But, according to Free State Project member Kat Kanning, "They told us she wouldn't be brought in until 2 p.m., so we went out until about 1:30 p.m. When we came back, it was done and no one got to see her." 10-year-old protester William asked his father, "Why would they trick us like that, Dad?"

Video of last month's arrest shows two police officers dragging her away, leaving her on her knees in the street at one point, then forcing her into a police vehicle. In a Sept. 21 phone call, New London City Police Lt. Ackley claimed that Canario "victimized" him by refusing to cooperate. "I hurt my back when I had to drag her off the floor," he said.

After the arrest, Judge Kevin P. McMahon ordered an evaluation of Canario's mental competence and raised her bond from $5,000 to $20,000. Recently, she was found competent to stand trial, and today she was ordered held until an unknown future trial date, sometime within the next year.

The Connecticut jail system received global attention two weeks ago when Human Rights Watch censured the state, in a 20-page report, for using police attack dogs to force people from their cells. "Corrections officials in Connecticut and Iowa insist the use of attack dogs is justified because they deter prisoner misconduct and reduce staff injuries," the report said. "But 45 other states and the Federal Bureau of Prisons reject their views."

Canario was also arrested during a public town meeting in September of 2005 after city officials refused to let voters into the room. Canario refused to leave the stairwell leading to the meeting room. For several weeks, she left the court, judge, and police in disarray while refusing to speak or walk as ordered. "I don't know what to do with this," Judge Hillary Strackbein said during Canario's second silent court appearance last year. Canario was eventually released and sentenced to time served.

Fort Trumbull residents were forced to leave their homes after the New London Development Corporation seized the properties with the June 2005 approval of the U.S. Supreme Court. The case received global publicity at the time, and supporters across the country rallied to help, but failed to stop the city's property confiscations. The remaining families moved out of their homes in August, and the city has apparently left the abandoned neighborhood standing for the foreseeable future.

Canario was on the porch of one of these properties reading a book when police arrested her. The property's ownership status was in limbo at the time; the owner had sold to the authorities but still had a transition phase ahead of him. She had his permission to be there but not that of the authorities who forced him to sell it.

The Free State Project is an organization attempting to draw pro-liberty activists to New Hampshire. Canario and her husband are members who divide their time between New London, CT and Winchester, NH.


Poster Comment:

Stealing private property because corporations and capitalists can make more money on it for the state in taxes and revenue for business is classic corporate fascism. Without private property right respected profoundly, we are mere slaves or serfs, at best occasionally humored and tolerated by the system.

First, you need to lose the notion that you actually can own property. You can have a house and lands paid off, and the second you don't pay your property taxes, it can be seized, and taken from you. Your car, if your tags aren't up to date, can be towed, impounded and auctioned off. Your bank accounts, on a whim can be seized, all your assets forfeited.

The idea that you as a citizen, a private individual have any rights what so ever, is an illusion.

Sorry Mike, but we're all serfs and slaves.

That was my thought too. There is no such thing as real property ownership in this country anymore.

Food for thought:

WHO OWNS THE PARK?

Original position paper of the park's people by F. Bardauke (People's Park, Berkeley, Ca.)

Someday an petty official will appear with a piece of paper. called a land title, which states that the University of California owns the land of the People's Park. Where did that piece of paper come from? What is it worth?

A long time ago the Costanoan Indians lived in the area now called Berkeley. They had no concept of land ownership. They believed that the land was under the care and guardianship of the people who used it and lived on it.

Catholic missionaries took the land away from the Indians. No agreements wee made. No papers were signed. The ripped it off in the name of God.

The Mexican Government took the land away from the Church. The Mexican Government had guns and an army. God's word was not as strong.

The Mexican Government wanted to pretend that it was not the army that guaranteed them the land. They drew up some papers which said that they legally owned it. No Indians signed the papers.

The Americans were not fooled by the papers. They had a stronger army than the Mexicans. They beat them in a war that took the land. Then they wrote some papers of their own and forced the Mexicans to sign them.

The American Government sold the land to some white settlers. The Government gave the settlers a piece of paper called a title in exchange for some money. All this time there were still some Indians around who claimed the land. The American army killed most of them.

The piece of paper saying who owned the land was passed around among rich white men. Sometimes the white men were interested in taking care of the land. Usually they were just interested in making money. Finally some very rich men, who run the University of California, bought the land.

Immediately these men destroyed the houses that had been built on the land.The land went the way of so much other land in America - it became a parking lot.

We are building a park on the land. We will take care of it and guard it, in the spirit of the Costanoan Indians. When the University of California comes along with it's land tile we will tell them: "Your title is covered in blood. We won't touch it. You people ripped off the land from the Indians a long time ago. If you want it back now, you will have to fight for it again.

Note: People's Park is still there.

Yes, unfortunately it is a pissed on and crapped on environment where the homeless and druggies spend their days and no person in their right mind would call it much of a "park". However, it is a piece of open space and we can celebrate that very small fact.

Too many of any creature crowded too close together creates just that sort of environment. I know I used to love Telegraph Avenue and many of the joints there where you could sit for hours talking to your friends. Now they are all owned by immigrants that want you out of there after you eat and are ruthless about enforcing that.

I don't like going to the Bay Area, everything is high drama, tension, and expensive. Why, the toll on the Bay Bridge alone blew my mind when I was down there recently .

Yeah, I visited recently and it has really deteriorated. Too much materialism, less free love.
