Baltimore Man Who Filmed Freddie Gray Arrest Now Charged With ‘Inciting a Riot’

http://theantimedia.org/baltimore-man-filmed-freddie-gray-arrest-charged/

Charged with “terrorism” and “inciting a riot” as backlash for filming the police?...

Back in April, Counter Current News broke the story on Kevin Moore’s arrest before he had been processed. Working closely with activists on the ground in Baltimore, we were informed of the arrest on trumped up charges right as it happened. We have been following the story since then, and some of the latest developments continue to disturb and concern us, and they should concern you too.

Why should you be concerned? Kevin Moore, the man who filmed the now infamous Freddie Gray arrest, just before police apparently killed the Baltimore resident in the back of a police van, was harassed continuously after he filmed the police. Following that harassment, he was arrested and charged with such outlandish crimes as “terrorism” and “inciting a riot” as well as “evading police,” “driving with no license,” and an open container charge.

Baltimore prosecutors dropped the terrorism charge just yesterday as Moore appeared in court. But the other charges still stand. Now, Kevin is facing mounting legal fees and another day in court.

today that have caused me to doubt there is anything exceptional about America . From police busting down doors and killing dogs to a man killing himself after being jailed and abused for years with no trial and then this nonsense . My God what is happening here?

In the world on this side, crazy is sane, and the only politician proposing a sane platform is labelled crazy. We help the poor by starving them out of their indolence, and we help the rich by financing their plays at the Wall Street Casino. It's a fair system, though. They keep the profits & the public keeps the losses, so it all works out in the end.
