Join Queens Libertarians (in its topical event for LPQC) on May 11 at noon, to hear LPQC Chair John Clifton speak on the topic of "January 6 Capitol Protestors---Traitors, or Hostages?" Discussion will be held at our Woodside location at Donovan's Pub on 57-24 Roosevelt Ave, in the family room area. This address will follow its monthly business session, covering Queens LP planning and subcommittee updates. Clifton examines the mainstream "insurrection" narrative about the 1/6/21 events, including motivations behind the riot that followed, along with civil liberties and due process violations protestors experienced.
Are the 3 years of harsh pre-trial detention that over 850 'J6' demonstrators were subjected to, over "violence" just 150 of them allegedly performed, in any way constitutional? Why are an additional 1,000 suspects still being sought or sentenced, including many who weren't even there on Jan 6? An upcoming Supreme Court ruling on the "obstructing a government proceeding" issue, the "were they set up?" question, Lawfare and related matters will also be covered.
Attendees will also get an update on the LP efforts in the statewide petition drive to get Larry Sharpe on the ballot in New York for President (if you want a petition form we should have blanks available).
-------------------------------
LPQC/ QL meets on the second Saturday of each month. While we may pass the hat, there is no mandatory donation. However, all attendees must purchase $10.00 or more in food and drink over the two hour period (don't forget to tip!). There is street parking and the place is centrally located. You can travel there by taking the 7 subway train, or M32 bus to the 61 St station along Roosevelt Ave, and walk 3 blocks to the corner of 58th St and Roosevelt Ave. Other buses in the 61 St area include the Q18, Q53 and Q70. You can also take the LIRR to the Woodside station (which also stops at the 7 train station).
