This case highlights the absurdity of Orange County's backward system of criminal justice in the era of Minutemen: Tezcatlipoca is facing prosecution for offenses that were committed against him by police and government officials!

==================================

SUPPORT COYOTL TEZCATLIPOCA AT HIS

FEBRUARY 3, 2006 COURT HEARING!

==================================

At the Tuesday, January 3rd meeting of the Costa Mesa

City Council, Mayor Allan Mansoor, a Minuteman

supporter and a proponent of merging local law

enforcement with immigration duties, abruptly cut off

Coyotl Tezcatlipoca, a critic of that proposal, even

though he had about 40 seconds left to speak.

Although Mayor Mansoor claims he did this because

Tezcatlipoca violated "rules" that forbid speakers

from asking the audience to stand up, he allowed

Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist to do the

exact same thing early on at the meeting: in fact,

Mansoor thanked him for what he did!

Not only does the evidence suggest that the Mayor

violated Tezcatlipoca's constitutional right to free

speech and assembly, but that he enforced the "rules"

in an arbitrary and capricious manner, and may himself

have broken a law that regulates the conduct of

council members at public meetings.

But instead of arresting the Mayor for disorderly

conduct, as should have been done, the Police Chief

ordered his officers to forcibly remove Tezcatlipoca

from the room while the meeting was not legally in

session -- this despite the fact he was fully

complying with their orders asking him to leave.

Video footage shot of the incident and numerous

witnesses allege that Tezcatlipoca was choked, hit,

kicked, and sat upon by several policemen. Then, after

they finished physically assaulting him, the cops had

the audacity of booking him on a charge of resisting

arrest!

This case highlights the absurdity of Orange County's

backward system of criminal justice in the era of

Minutemen: Tezcatlipoca is facing prosecution for

offenses that were committed against him by police and

government officials!

Defend the right of free speech and assembly! Show

your solidarity with Tezcatlipoca by attending his

upcoming court hearing!

REMEMBER: AN INJURY TO ONE IS AN INJURY TO ALL!
