Fact but I am not smart enough to post a link

It’s an attachment to an email but I just don’t know how to post it

what about the arrest record and finger prints and so on ?
will this follow the PP

Dropped or not, MUM needs to happen. (Easily said as I am several thousand miles down the road...)

States Attorney (or whomever serves this function in Annapolis) just saved the Capital Police and those that instructed them to make the arrest a lot of heartache in the court and media.

Hope this comes with an apology and a restatement from the DGS that peaceful protests that don't impede traffic are allowed on the sidewalk in front of Lawyer's Mall.

I got an email from Delegate Saab saying the same. I wonder who was the one to drop the charges.

Hogan may have pushed this through so he can say he has helped the 2A community. About time!

Here's what I just got from my Delegate, Christian Miele:

Hi [FMD], I wanted to let you know that the charges were dropped on the two individuals that were arrested earlier this week. Below is a press release from the Republican Caucus about the situation. If you have any questions please let me know.


House Republican Leaders Applaud Decision to Drop Charges Against 2nd Amendment Activists

Annapolis – House Minority Leader Nic Kipke and House Minority Whip Kathy Szeliga today applauded the dropping of charges against two 2nd Amendment activists who were arrested in front of the State House on Monday night. Kevin and Jeff Hulbert, members of The Patriot Picket, an organization that supports 2nd Amendment rights and stage peaceful protests during the legislative session, were arrested during a protest Monday night. The charges against them were dropped today.

“This arrest never should have happened,” said House Minority Leader Nic Kipke. “Citizens have a sacred right to free speech which applies everywhere but especially at the Maryland State House. These gentlemen have been coming to Annapolis to lawfully express their views for years. I am relieved the charges against these gentlemen have been dropped and want to thank Governor Larry Hogan, Speaker Mike Busch, and State’s Attorney Wes Adams who I believe all shared my concerns about this unacceptable incident. The Capitol Police do a fantastic and not often easy job; I look forward to working with them to ensure something like this never happens again to anyone lawfully expressing their First Amendment rights.”

“Unimpeded political speech is a cornerstone of our democracy and a sacred right held by all Americans,” said House Minority Whip Kathy Szeliga. “While I am glad to see the charges dropped, this arrest never should have happened. I hope this incident serves as a learning opportunity for the Capitol Police and they can, in the future, strike the appropriate balance and protect the public without impeding on free speech. Otherwise, this arrest could have people thinking twice before they come to Annapolis to express their views. That would be a travesty.”

Nothing personal, but I'd like to hear it from Jeff.

Rack, what's up?

Copy of letter.

Folks, nothing is official until Deep Lurker and I have a chance to consult with CharlieFoxtrot, our criminal defense attorney.

There is more at stake than just the state declaring they are washing their hands of this matter, so for the time being, PLEASE don't speculate on ANYTHING about this case.

i understand completely. I wish I had sense enough to post it

Dropped charges or not, this movement has to carry through until Sine Die and zero gun control bills surviving.

Even if the charges have been dropped there should be a PERSONAL apology to Jeff and his brother by the MCP and it should be videotaped. (At the absolute minimum)
Of course I'd also like to see whomever ordered this outed.

We also need to know who issued the order to arrest.
