MARINE VETERAN KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL FOR POSSESSING FIREARMS |
WOU STUDENT TRIED,CONVICTED AND SENTENCED.
The WOU student who was falsely
arrested and charged with possession of a firearm in a public
building, had all his criminal charges dropped by the Polk County
DA tonight.
The DA admitted no wrongdoing on his part, or on the part of
the police who arrested Jeff Maxwell for a "crime"
that does not exist.
In a statement released to OFF's attorney, the DA said "I
believe the Monmouth Police Department issued the citation in
good faith and that there was an arguable violation. However,
a careful reading of the statute and the facts led me to conclude
the charge was not in the best interest of justice."
"Not in the best interest of justice." There
was NO CRIME. But it gets worse. Much worse.
The college still got to "try" Jeff Maxwell. And they
did tonight.
The tribunal that tried Marine veteran Jeffery Maxwell laughed
after suspending him from Western Oregon University and sentencing
him to:
a "psychological evaluation stating
he is not a threat to himself of others" and
a mandatory "ten page paper" " with references,
"citing, but not limited to:
1) the importance of following the law,even through civil disobedience.
2) the importance of accepting responsibility for one's actions
3) and recognizing the impact possession of weapons on college
campuses has on others."
So, Maxwell has been told his lawful possession of a firearm
on campus is evidence of mental illness and he must "confess
his sins." Welcome to the new Politburo. Maxwell
may as well been judged by the Hitler youth for his "thought
crimes."
Jeffery Maxwell's "jury" were four unnamed students
and one staff member of WOU.
The "prosecutor" was Patrick Moser moserp@wou.edu
"Acting Coordinator of Campus Judicial Affairs"
Maxwell asked to have his "trial" open to the public,
which is his right, but was denied.
The tribunal was told repeatedly that they lacked the authority
to impose a rule dealing with firearms. But the children who
sat in judgment of the veteran were not interested in the law
or the facts. They were only interested in attacking and embarrassing
a man who had committed no crime but had chosen to exercise
his right to protect himself and others.
The "trial" was a sham. No one present even seemed
to know what the "charge" was. When confronted by
the fact that the school has no authority to make rules about
firearms, they said that was "not relevant." Then
they said they were not charging Maxwell with having a firearm.
When asked what they WERE charging him with, they seemed to
not know. They then said they were charging him with having
a "knife and a rifle in his car." When
told they had no authority to make rules about guns in his car,
they said THAT was not "relevant."
The children who sat on Maxwell's "jury" and
their staff advisors seemed to have no idea what they were actually
charging Maxwell with. But they had no problem sentencing him.
Gun owners, and all Americans should be outraged.
OFF is committed to continuing Maxwell's defense. We are shocked
and disgusted by the treatment he received by the staff and
the students of WOU,
We ask your continued support of our legal battle for Jeff Maxwell.
We promised Jeff what he promised the men he served with. We
will not leave him behind.
