Please forward widely! (This message has been already been sent to the Calgary Activist google group website & will be posted there in time/maybe hours from 9p.m. Monday May 11th)
Splitting The Sky, the man who tried to make a peaceful citizens arrest of George Bush, will be in court at Calgary Court Centre on May 14th with his lawyer Charles Davison at 9 am. Please show your support for Splitting the Sky and attend court!
Where?
The address of Calgary Court Centre is 601-5th street S.W. The court case is expected to be on the 3rd floor. Splitting The Sky also has the name Jon Boncore. Please look for the name Jon Boncore on a screen outside the court rooms of the 3rd floor. You can also ask staff at a desk on the third floor which court room Jon Boncore is in. The Court Centre has airport style security by the main door, so please allow time for that.
When?
May 14th 2009 starting at 9a.m. Please try to be in the court room before 9 a.m. because the case may start at the time it is scheduled to.
More details:
Splitting the Sky and his lawyer Charles Davison say that citizens have the legal right to arrest George Bush. On March 17th, when Bush was in the Telus Convention Center in Calgary, Splitting the Sky tried to make a peaceful citizens arrest of George Bush. Next, Splitting the Sky was, as he wrote “pushed to the ground with sniper bullets and tasers pointed directly” at him, arrested, and put in a jail with “rancid” conditions where he was beaten and thus injured.

Dear Friends,
On May 14th, 2009 I will appear in court with my Charles Davison to enter a plea of not guilty to the charge of obstruction of police officers in the performance of their duty.
In fact I actually instructed the police force present to arrest George Bush for war crimes according to the Canadian criminal code and formal request made by the Lawyers Against War, signed by Gail Davidson to the head of the RCMP in Ottawa seeking his arrest as well.
The police establishment were and still are completely unwilling to arrest this and other self proclaimed torturers and murderers and in the absence of their willingnes to perform the arrest I came to a conscious decision to perform a citizens arrest on Bush.
I was immediately pounced on, thrown to the ground with sniper bullets and tasers pointed directly at me and brutally assaulted and handcuffed after breaking the police line not to mention being assaulted in the police station were I was held overnight in rancid conditions.
So in all actuality the police obstructed me in the performance of my duty to humanity to arrest these insane perpetrators of torture and murder who must answer for their crimes.
At this particular moment in time Spain has decided it will seek the arrest of 6 of Bushes administrators for torture and as well Great Britain is looking at the same possibilities.
I will be at the University of Calgary to let Condi Rice know she is also wanted for signing off on the Bybee torture memo and instructing the CIA that they were in their rights to torture and murder in the interest of US national security.
That said I am in serious need of you help to raise funds to pay for defense and all other related costs.

Best wishes to John Boncore.
The UK Powers That Be seem to be aware of the citizens arrest problem and appear to have written a precaution against it into a recent statute:
24A
Arrest without warrant: other persons
(2)
Where an indictable offence has been committed, a person other than a constable may arrest without a warrant—
(a)
anyone who is guilty of the offence;
(b) anyone whom he has reasonable grounds for suspecting to be guilty of it.
(3)
But the power of summary arrest conferred by subsection (1) or (2) is exercisable only if—
(b)
it appears to the person making the arrest that it is not reasonably practicable for a constable to make it instead…”.
s.110 Serious and Organised Crime Act 2005.
http://www.statutelaw.gov.uk/content.aspx?LegType=All+Legislation&title=serious+and+organised&searchEnacted=0&extentMatchOnly=0&confersPower=0&blanketAmendment=0&sortAlpha=0&TYPE=QS&PageNumber=1&NavFrom=0&parentActiveTextDocId=2086243&ActiveTextDocId=2086392&filesize=19156
In other words, to negative any possible excuses, you would have to give the police the evidence first and wait to see what happened or be prepared to show why that was not practicable. This is a nuisance, but does not invalidate private persons arrests.
