Can I make book on whether he'll be at the next one?

Everyone every day is "subject to arrest" - but first they have to actually break the law.
The real law.
Sinole exercise of RIGHTS cannot BE breaking the law, the real law. And they KNOW IT, which is why they THREATEN arrest but then don't do so in the context of OPENLY declaring exercise. Remember the vets memorial being "closed"? Remember people delivering the barricades to the White House? Arrests were threatened then too UNTIL vets DECLARED that they were exercising THEIR RIGHTS!
Standing is created when you are accused - because you are enpowered BY RIGHT to defend yourself in court. Hurdle jumped. Now, when LEO knows UNQUESTIONABLY that declared exercise of rights is taking place - they don't dare ARREST handfuls of people. They ARE AFRAID to open that can of worms - judges threading as they may.
That SPLC "plan" comment is indeed telling - they are accepting the new reality - that THREATS are the best they can hope to accomplish.
Question - what spin will we witness when one of these gatherings generates hundreds upon hundreds and thousands upon thousands of openly carrying participants?

We need a WALL OF SHAME for all those SPLC (Sleazy Polecat Lying Characters) troublemakers. Put their faces in lights for all to see who they are.
Thanks for letting us know about this one.

Bill Morlin, SPLC toady, former hack "journalist" and intimate friend of the FBI and ATF.
I knew about this ahead of time (you may recall I mentioned it here:5. I also know that it is reported by sources that the Southern Poverty Law Center has (again, just like Elohim City in the pre-OKC bombing days) its own snitches in place in Spokane who are seeking to work their way into the ranks of the armed civil disobedience movement. They are also researching a big hit piece on the WA state activists. The timing of that "expose" will tell us much.
We received this confirmation by email after the event:
Facts not mentioned in info about the rally at U.S. Courthouse was the fact that Bill Morlin from the Southern Poverty Law Center was on scene. I know him for when he was a reporter for the Spokesman Review and talked to him on site. He went to work for them a few years ago. Just thought you would like to know.
Here is his "report": "Armed Protesters March on Federal Courthouse in Washington."
Morlin's usual M.O. is to sidle up to participants without identifying himself (or to say he is a "journalist" which of course is a lie now that he's working for SPLC) and goad them into making incendiary comments. This usually works with neoNazis and other weak-minded fools, but apparently he couldn't use that to great effect on us. Or perhaps he was just keeping his distance because he expected federal-inspired violence. He sounds positively dispirited with this observation:
It wasn’t immediately known what caused federal authorities to balk and not allow the protest in spite of the issuance of a court order on Monday by Chief U.S. District Court Judge Rosanna Malouf Peterson. A public notice released Thursday by U.S. Attorney Mike Ormsby and U.S, Marshal Craig Thayer said anyone coming on the plaza or attempting to enter the courthouse with weapons or firearms would be subject to arrest for contempt of court and violating federal law.
However, it would seem from this comment at SPLC that there is a fall-back plan. One "Joel Lawler bwd1967" writes:
My friend at the USMS tells me that they have clear pictures of every swingin' Richard that entered the plaza carrying a weapon, and that arrests pursuant to 18 U.S.C ss 900 will be made in the near future on an individual basis to protect the public and the arresting officers. Sounds like a sensible plan to me.
Of course, the One Hundred Heads Life and Casualty Company has a group policy on all members of Liberty for All. So I guess anytime the United States Marshal's Service feels froggy. . .
LATER: I left a comment there which I will repeat here since i doubt it lasts long: "Mike Vanderboegh to Joel Lawler: Nice way to start a civil war courtesy of the 100 Heads Life and Casualty Company."
"No big surprise to us, but Bill Morlin of SPLC was at the Liberty for All rally. The US Marshal's Service issues threats by way of SPLC. A reminder that the One Hundred Heads Life and Casualty Company has a group policy on Liberty for All."
