The Lemonistas strike again! For the third year in a row they've run an illegal lemonade stand selling their refreshing drink. A police officer interrogated and threatened them but in the end did nothing. This happened in Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. This act of civil disobedience is done to protest the closing of children's lemonade stands around the country.
Los limonistas atacan otra vez. Por el tercer año corrido han montado un puesto ilegal para vender su refrescante bebida. Un policía los interrogo y los amenazo pero al final no hizo nada. Esto ocurrió en el parque Rittenhouse en Filadelfia, EEUU el 10 de Agosto del 2013. Este acto de desobediencia civil lo hacen para protestar el cierre de puestos para vender limonada que han montado niños en varios partes del país.
The description of the video on YouTube says it all, no need for me to add anything:
WeAreChange goes to the home of activist and YouTube host Adam Kokesh to
find out what happened on the night he was raided and arrested.
Kokesh's home was raided following a video he released of him loading a shotgun in Washington D.C. as an act of civil disobedience to protest
laws that restrict or deny people of the 2nd amendment. Kokesh did not
threaten anyone with the shotgun or use it in any violent way. When his
home was raided, the police said that they found magic mushrooms in his
safe along with his guns which is a felony charge in Virginia. Kokesh
and his housemates who were there on the night of the raid claim the
drugs were not Kokesh's and that he is being set up. They claim the
house and the safe was completely clean of any illegal substances and
that they actually witnessed police bringing in evidence bags that were
already full. Kokesh is currently being held in solitary confinement and
has been denied bail.

Myself literally standing with the dancing and allegedly dangerous Adam Kokesk at the Dance Party at Thomas Jefferson's Memorial in 2011. Before that the dangerous dancer Adam was really slacking in his violent behavior as he reacted very nonchalantly to the Park Police slamming him down on the concrete floor at the Jefferson Memorial:
This just proves how ridiculous judge Sullivan's characterization of Adam as "a very dangerous man" is. The press release from Shield Mutual explains the situation:
Friends of Adam Kokesh Speak out: Adam is a Peaceful Man, not Dangerous
(Philadelphia, PA, July 31, 2013)—Shield Mutual is launching the
"My Friend Adam" project in support of libertarian activist Adam Kokesh
on Thursday, August 1, 2013 at http://MyFriendAdam.org.
Family, friends, fans and allies of Kokesh are posting videos,
photos, tweets and Facebook status updates in support of Kokesh with the
hashtag #MyFriendAdam. Liberty community businesses are offering prizes
for the best videos.
Kokesh was arrested at his Virginia home on July 9 in a brutal
paramilitary raid by US Park Police, complete with laser sights, APCs
and black helicopters. Kokesh is facing Virginia state victimless crime
charges and is currently being held against his will in a Washington,
D.C. cage on a single firearm possession victimless crime charge after
his July 4 YouTube video in which he appears to load a shotgun in
Washington D.C.'s Freedom Plaza.
Judge Frederick Sullivan denied Kokesh bail this past Monday, July 29, 2013 claiming that Kokesh is "a very dangerous man."
"Our
goal is to get Adam out of that cage so he can properly defend himself
in the legal process and attend to his business, the 'Adam vs. The Man'
show," said George Donnelly of Shield Mutual, Kokesh's public relations
defense firm. "We will correct Sullivan's misstatement once and for all
with our first-hand YouTube testimony." Before August 13, 2013 when Adam
Kokesh next has a chance at bail, MyFriendAdam.org hopes to inspire
thousands of video blogs and social media posts in defense of the peace
activist.
