50 Moral Monday Protesters Have Charges Dropped

Posted on January 23, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

So, 50 get off out of the over 900 arrested. The Moral Monday folks are all clamoring that all the charges will now ‘collapse’. By Moral Monday folks, I mean mainly the NC NAACP and their brigade of lawyers. No where in any article I’ve found yet on this fleet of lawyers have I found reference to the media ask the question: Who is paying for all of this?

RALEIGH — The North Carolina chapter of the NAACP says Wake County prosecutors have dismissed criminal charges against more than 50 people Wednesday who were arrested last year while protesting at the state legislature.

NAACP President William Barber said prosecutors told defense lawyers representing people arrested at a Moral Monday protest on May 20 are being dropped.

Barber said the cases were dismissed after two protesters tried Tuesday were acquitted by District Court Judge Joy Hamilton.

“It’s exposing the Constitutional irregularities in these prosecutions against people simply exercising their First Amendment rights,” Barber said.
I about choked laughing at that statement by Barber. “Constitutional irregularities”. That’s gonna be an instant classic. Continue reading →

Moral Monday Moves To Saturday… or Something.

Posted on January 22, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Moral Monday will hold its biggest march ever on a Saturday.

Uh, Moral Saturday. Now, that isn’t catchy and it doesn’t rhyme. Does that make it Sinning Saturday…or something? I guess Occupy with a White Collar is starting again? Great. Time to avoid downtown.

It will, of course, be the biggest EVER! Unions make sure to pad these events well, as I’ve noted their involvement before. Much of the media is complicit; they need to cover up their own connections to Moral Monday and it’s Blueprint NC strategy. Continue reading →

My Latest Magnificent Seven article is up at DaTechGuy: A Primer on the Left In NC (IV)

Last week we looked at Moral Monday in North Carolina and how it’s now spreading to neighboring states. I mentioned that was not a bug but a feature. In this installment, we’ll look at the union ties to Moral Monday, a quick look at a movement I’ve dubbed Occupy 2.0 and how the AFL-CIO’s “Organize the South or Die” campaign all figure into the mix.

#DM7: A Primer On The Left In NC (PT III)

Posted on January 5, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

My weekly column at Da Tech Guy is up here: A Primer On The Left In NC (PT III)

_____________________

In Part II of A Primer on the Left in NC, we looked at the leader of the “grassroots” Moral Monday movement, Reverend William Barber. This week, it’s important to learn about the start of Moral Monday and their tactics because, as I predicted, it’s spreading. Just this past week, Barber met with various unnamed activists from 12 other states with the intent to help organize Moral Monday’s elsewhere. One of the attendees was Democratic state Sen. Hank Sanders of Alabama. I view this as the reaction of the organized Left realizing how much power is held by the individual states. Too many for the comfort of the Left are under Republican leadership. Continue reading →

My weekly column at Da Tech Guy is up: A Primer On The Left In NC (PT II)

In the last installment, I laid out the back story and one of the main players pulling the multiple strings in North Carolina — NC Justice Center via their non-profit outfit BluePrint NC (BPNC). I left off the last entry introducing Reverend Barber as the face of ‘Moral Monday’ — the most recent series of BPNC campaigns and that is where I pick up this week. Continue reading →
