IMPORTANT QUESTIONS FOR LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS:
1) Do the democracies of the world still believe in the idea of innocent until proven guilty? I've spent half a decade in and out of jail, locked in my house, all of my cars and wealth seized without ever being convicted of a crime. In fact, I haven’t even had a trial - ever. I have zero criminal record. I have followed every single judicial proceeding. I have broken ZERO rules. I am 5 years into this process and every year has been a punishment.
2) With this in mind, why am I in jail at all? There has been zero evidence of any kind submitted by the British state. No medical records, no video, no NAMES OF VICTIMS, no locations, no dates, nothing. Just an accusation. “Andrew raped someone in 2015 jail please”. Is this sane? Is this America? Is this probable cause?
3) If I’m to be in jail, why am I in the SHU? I've been nothing but respectful to everybody from the Marshals who arrested me to the prison guards. I have a perfect record of compliance with all levels of law enforcement and judicial authorities in every single nation. They say I must be in SHU because I’m famous. So I must be in punitive conditions with people who attack correctional officers, murdered their own children and cannibals - because I’m famous? Why?
4) Why have I had zero phone calls? My family hasn’t heard my voice in almost a month.
You do not have to like me to understand what’s happening to me is wrong.
Everybody is interested in my cases not because I am a famous man accused of sexual assault, this happens all day every day and nobody cares. Everyone watches my case because any thinking person intrinsically understands that something isn’t right here. That something strange is going on.
People can feel that there is a deeper story which is not being told. It is the story I told on the Jack Neel podcast, I am being set up and punished harshly, my life ruined, before any conviction.
Most men cannot survive 5 years of having all of their money in every single bank account stolen, thrown in and out of jail at random, locked in their house at random and never given a trial. How do you work? How do you see your kids? HOW DO YOU LIVE?
I have a large voice so I can highlight the insanity of what’s happening to me.
But if they can do this to me, they can do this to you.
Do you have enough money to survive a half a decade onslaught of being unable to work with every single thing you own and penny you have seized?
Do you have a large enough voice to make people care about your plight?
You don’t have to like me to understand that if you let them do this to me - in broad daylight - in front of everybody.
It's going to be much worse when they come for you.
@adamfrancisco_ The WNBA is a total joke. They only continue to allow things like this and antics on the court to create some kind of intrigue. Otherwise, nobody would watch at all.
WHAT THEY DID TO ANDREW AND TRISTAN TATE ON SUNDAY
Andrew and Tristan Tate remain in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) at FDC Miami. They have seen the sun only four times since July 18th.
On Sunday, guards deployed OC spray in the SHU. My clients, Andrew and Tristan Tate, had nothing to do with the incident. They were locked in their cells when it happened.
The guards had gas masks. Andrew and Tristan, however, were afforded no such luxury. Locked in a cell with nowhere to go, the chemical spray quickly filled the SHU, poured into their cells, and burned their eyes, throats, and airways.
To protect themselves, Andrew and Tristan wet their T-shirts in the shower and wrapped their eyes and heads in the shirts as best they could.
The Bureau of Prisons' own regulation demands immediate medical examination and treatment. The Department of Justice's own manual says the first aid for this chemical is fresh air and copious amounts of cool water. Andrew and Tristan received no air, no water, no doctor, and no nurse.
Two men convicted of no crime in any country on Earth wrapped wet T-shirts around their faces, sat in a chemical cloud, and waited.
You do not have to take my word for it. Two hours later, my co-counsel Tom Maniotis arrived at the facility for a legal visit. The air was still so toxic that his eyes burned and he struggled to breathe. Thomas cut the meeting short and agreed to come back in two hours to give time for the chemicals to clear out.
Thomas went to our apartment and washed his face and hands. He returned to the SHU a second time, where the meeting had to be cut short because his eyes were irritated and his throat was burning. So much so that he went straight from the jail to urgent care, where he was diagnosed with acute toxic conjunctivitis, a chemical injury to his eyes.
That diagnosis is on paper, from a hospital. Think about what I am saying. Thomas' short-term exposure sent him straight to urgent care. Andrew and Tristan have been stuck in the SHU since this incident happened without medical care or decontamination protocol of any kind.
They sit in that cell over no American charge and no broken rule. They sit there because the United Kingdom, which watched them travel freely for three years and did nothing, suddenly demanded their arrest.
Instead of the safekeeping the law requires, Andrew and Tristan are being horribly punished. Four hours of sunlight in three weeks, bunks too short for their bodies, no pillows, legal meetings in rooms monitored by cameras, and now a chemical agent in their cells with no help afterward.
The Supreme Court says a man awaiting trial may not be punished at all. England's own law says a man jailed before trial is held for safe custody and not for punishment. Every rule forbids what is happening inside that building, and it is happening anyway.
On Thursday, August 13, a federal judge in Miami will hear our motion for Andrew and Tristan's release. If you care about justice and the right of all American citizens not to be punished this way, then you must speak out.
Let the whole world see your anger by sharing this post.
Punishment before judgment is tyranny.
Free Andrew and Tristan Tate. Free Them Now.
@Streetfight983 Why are all these weak ass men standing around waiting for the horse to do the work. His ass should’ve been beaten the minute he laid to hand on that horse.
