KIDNAPPING UNDER COLOR OF LAW FAQ

Q. WHAT HAPPENED?

      On two occasions in October of 2008, Duncan Hunter and members of his staff (including a GOP operative who went by the name 'nightstand' so his identity would remain a secret) had Joe Ryan forcibly removed from a debate stage to prevent Joe Ryan from participating in debates against Duncan Hunter, and even though the US Constitution and our state law dictated that Joe Ryan be allowed to participate in the debates in question.
      Duncan Hunter and his staff used their influence and quasi-control over the Cuyamaca and Grossmont College campuses to arrange to have the campus's security guard/wannabee cops, carry out their illegal scheme. Members of Duncan Hunter's staff had a secret meeting (later revealed to Joe Ryan by a participant) to set-up Joe Ryan's kidnapping under color of law On, October 22nd, 2008. Amazingly, the meeting involved East County Chamber of Commerce Officials, members of Duncan Hunter's staff, prominent local media members, including, by all available indications, Steve Bosh of KUSI TV, Grossmont College official (s), as well a young naive officer who was put up to doing the gang's evil deeds.
     On October 28th, 2008, Duncan Hunter was so desperate to avoid debating Joe Ryan, and in the process exposing Joe Ryan's existence to the voters, that he had up to eight police officers present at the debate, who were ordered to surround Joe Ryan and threaten him with violence, in order to intimidate Joe Ryan into giving up on his plan to participate in the debate, against Duncan Hunter. Joe Ryan tried to defend the constitution by participating in the debate - held on October 28th, 2008; but he had to retreat from the stage after being threatened with immediate violence by two, racist, security guards/GCCCD Cops, standing behind his back, on the debate stage.
     This did not happen in Stalingrad! This happened in The United States.

Q. WHY DUNCAN HUNTER HAD JOE RYAN KIDNAPPED (TWICE) DURING THE 2008 ELECTION SEASON.
      During the 2008 election season, Mike Lumpkin - a 20 year Navy seal veteran - was running for Congress against Duncan Hunter jr. In 2008, for the first timer in a couple decades, voter registration totals indicated that there were more Democrats then Republicans residing in the 52nd District. so it wasn't surprising when, In October of 2008, Mike Lumpkin touted a poll, that he had conducted, that showed he'd likely win the election for the 52nd District seat in Congress.
       Meanwhile, Duncan hunter aggressively courted Independent voters. The Hunter campaign sent mailer after mailer to non-partisan voters that deceptively implied that Duncan was also an independent candidate. It became obvious from the flyers being sent to Independent voters, Duncan Hunter was pinning his campaign hopes on securing the votes of Independents. It's the same scenario that unfolds time and time again, since most elections come down to a Democrat versus a Republic, because, normally, there is no Independent candidate in any election contest.
        When Joe Ryan emerged as a genuine non-partisan/independent candidate in May of 2008, the Hunter campaign had a potential problem. Undoubtedly, they weren't particularly worried about an independent candidate winning in 2008, but an Independent candidate that took 2-3% of the vote could cause the race to switch hands, especially if most of the voters who might have voted for Joe Ryan, would have voted for Duncan Hunter, if an Independent was present in the race. So the local GOP team went to work trying to ensure that voters would not become aware of Joe Ryan's existence as a candidate. The first thing the GOP did was have their minions at the registrar's office, leave Joe Ryan off the general election candidate list.
        The GOP gang that surrounds Hunter pulled a lot of other scams and tricks to keep Joe Ryan busy in the summer of 2008, but they also didn't forget to remind local SD media personnel that they should not cover Joe Ryan's candidacy. And so it went. Joe Ryan sent out thirty-three press releases announcing his candidacy in 2008, and not one newspaper located in the 52nd District ever printed one word about his existence as a candidate. The GOP gang's plans worked to perfection; and in October of 2008, the voters of the 52nd District had no idea whatsoever that Joe Ryan existed. newspapers like the Union-Tribune, Ramona Sentinel, & the Alpine Sun, as well as every other media outlet in San Diego bar one, played along with the GOP's scheme.
         So Joe Ryan could not be allowed to appear in the debates in question because it might interfere with Duncan Hunter Jr's plan to succeed his Dad in office. the Constitution didn't matter, the law against threatening people, and using cops to kidnap political opponents were ignored, while laws against violating Joe Ryan's Civil Rights, were brushed aside as if they didn't exist.

OTHER FACTS: Joe Ryan discovered that The East County Chamber of Commerce was ripping-off the public by not paying mandatory fees to use our college campuses for their private, profit-making activities. Instead of correcting the behavior, which is a crime, after being exposed, the gang went right on stealing, because the SD media kept the Chamber's theft of government funds secret from the public. The moral to the story is this: If you have a bunch of corrupt friends stealing from a local college, and they help you do so too; you don't have to worry if you're a friend of Bonnie Dumanis. Steal all you want if your Bonnie's friends. It goes on all over town.

THE AFTERMATH: Since Joe Ryan busted a bunch of Bonnie Dumanis close friends stealing from the public, and since Duncan Hunter wanted to run Joe Ryan out of politics forever, Joe Ryan was prosecuted by Bonnie Dumanis in 2009 for attempting to speak at the two aforementioned debates. The statute she used, says on it's face - it can't be used against someone for anything that happened at a debate. So, the prosecution was nothing short of a criminal conspiracy and an assault upon the constitution by Bonnie Dumanis, Duncan Hunter, KUSI TV, and other parties that got involved in the crimes that were committed.
       The case was obviously a complete sham with no basis whatsoever, but Bonnie Dumanis and Duncan Hunter used up 6 months of Joe Ryan's time; so for those two, the case was still a great success, despite the fact that Joe Ryan was found innocent by a jury almost instantaneously, after Joe Ryan annihilated Bonnie Dumanis in a trial that consumed another week of 12 jurors time (plus a bailiff, DA, me, the judge, bailiff, and court reporter). Joe Ryan won, acting as his own attorney, after the San diego defense bar, ran and his from Bonnie and Duncan's special 'project'. Joe defended the constitution at great cost to himself.
       Unfortunately, Duncan Hunter spent 200k trying to put Joe Ryan in jail for appearing at debates and trying to express his viewpoints in public, at our public colleges. He owes that money to the taxpayers, along with an apology and his resignation for being a traitor to the constitution, and the values Americans hold dear. Joe Ryan was the first person who ever ran for Congress who was kidnapped to stop him from debating his opponent. Hopefully this is not a trend, and it won't happen against. If the SD press and Duncan Hunter had their way, it would happen again - to Joe Ryan - asap.

REAL FISCAL CONSERVATIVES DON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF, OR ARRANGE FOR, FRIENDS TO STEAL GOVERNMENT RESOURCES

      Ever since 2003, when Duncan Hunter got his chief of staff installed as a Grossmont College official, Duncan Hunter and his friends at the East County Chamber of Commerce have been boldly ripping off the taxpayers with a myriad of scams wherein they steal the resources of Grossmont and Cuyamaca Colleges. The Democrats look the other way, because they are rewarded with lucrative salaries, and freedom to teach liberalism as they choose.
     Joe Ryan single handedly brought their thievery to a stop by exposing the theft of government resources at GCCCD. After Joe Ryan exposed the thievery, the SD Media kept it hidden, and Bonnie Dumanis tried to put Joe Ryan in jail to shut him up, and end his troublesome political activities for good. The Hunter/Dumanis/Chamber partnership was going to go right on stealing if they could manage to put Joe Ryan in jail. Joe Ryan destroyed lying witnesses from GCCCD, KUSI, and the East County Chamber on the witness stand (acting as his own attorney because the ACLU and other SD attorneys ran and hid from the case), showed the jury what was going on, and won the trial. As detailed in the following section, that finally put a stop to some of the Chamber's thievery of public resources.

JOE RYAN DEFEATS MEG WHITMAN'S ATTEMPT TO STEAL FROM OUR LOCAL COLLEGE

Joe Ryan knew the East County Chamber of Commerce would not stop stealing from the public just because they were caught doing so. They have no shame, so they kept it up after Joe Ryan exposed their scam in October of 2008. Joe Ryan was determined to stop their stealing, so during his trial preparation, he pounded on GCCCD with more public document requests, designed to show GCCCD administration was still helping the Chamber and corrupt politicians steal from the taxpayers. So when Joe Ryan noticed that Meg Whitman was coming to GCCCD for a partisan speech, he knew the Chamber and Meg Whitman would get together and once again, they would steal the use of our government resources and facilities. The event was to be held August 5th, so the GCCCD officials broke the law and held-up giving Joe Ryan the documents he needed to go to court and stop the event form taking place. GCCCD officials released the documents that confirmed the ongoing theft, but they waited until August 5th, at 5pm, to thwart Joe Ryan. The documents (facilities-use applications) showed Meg Whitman used the school facilities for free, in direct contravention of our state law, (which requires payment from private, partisan groups who use state facilities to conduct their business). Joe Ryan was scheduled to be put in jail sometime shortly after (August 18th), but when the jury came back and acquitted Joe Ryan on August 25th, Chamber officials freaked out and they ran over to GCCCD, amended the facility-use request that granted them free use of our school resources, and they retroactively paid $649.00 for using GCCCD on August 5th, 2009, to hold Meg Whitman's partisan event. Joe Ryan had to give up seven months of his life, and practically all of his income to stop the pillaging of our college resources, but at looks like - at great personal cost - he finally beat the gang, and stopped the stealing from taxpayers. Since he beat The Chamber, Dumanis and Hunter in Court, the little gang of fascist have harassed Joe Ryan in a myriad of novel ways, but he refuses to buckle, or leave politics at their command! Joe Ryan has just begun to expose government theft at GCCCD. They better get him into jail fast, or else.

Facility Application before Trial

Facility-Use Invoice created on August 25th, an hour or two after Joe Ryan defeated the gang's attempt to silence him (by putting him in jail for a year).  Upon acquittal, they paid!

Use of District Resources for Partisan Purposes

The use of District resources to support or oppose ballot measures or candidates is restricted. The fundamental reason for the restriction is that public money may not be used for partisan activities. Put another way, resources that have been obtained for the district's support for all taxpayers must not be used "to take sides". Therefore, district employee time, equipment, supplies, or other public resources may not be used in advocating for either side of a ballot measure or to support or defeat any candidate.

Joe Ryan's presence on the stage (at the debate) was perfectly lawful and authorized by his constitutional right to run for office, my right to assemble and my freedom of association, my free speech rights, and other applicable constitutional principals. Furthermore, his presence was authorized by the policies governing the Grossmont college district. On the other hand, Joe Ryan's right to liberty was stripped from him, and his free speech rights were extinguished in a wholly unlawful manner, that constitute the commission of a felony by the officer in question (R. Montalvan).

The Cover Up Begins

     Immediately after Joe Ryan was taken from the stage he was ordered to sit down in an area behind the curtain, while the debate proceeded without his presence. Joe Ryan objected to being arrested and opined that the officer had made an illegal arrest, and joe Ryan reminded him that he had committed a felony by doing so. The officer then insisted that Joe Ryan wasn't under arrest at all! He said he removed Joe Ryan from the stage for his own safety, 'because the crowd was threatening to riot'. He kept insisting over and over that he was just detaining me for Joe Ryan for Joe's own good. Joe Ryan told him he was violating the law, and that he would seek to sue him in civil court for violating his civil rights.
      A few minutes later, the officer came up with a reason to arrest Joe Ryan (ten minutes after the arrest). He suddenly decided that Joe Ryan had committed a crime. I guess his about-face had nothing to do with covering his you know what. Then he cited Joe Ryan, utilizing a statute that was un-applicable - to his arrest - on it's face! See below for a review of the statutes Joe Ryan was charged under. Bottom Line: Grossmont person ell knew when they arrested Joe Ryan that they had no legal basis to do so, and that they were basically using their power to simply kidnap him, in order to protect Duncan Hunter from having to debate Joe Ryan.

Dirty Political contributions Involved in Duncan Protection racket?
        Donna Weeks of the Grossmont Community College Board is one of the Board members that ignored my requests related to the illegal use of campus facilities. Gee, isn't that Donna Weeks and her husband on Duncan D. Hunter's FEC contribution list? They've made three recent donations totaling $1,000.00 dollars to Duncan's campaign. Small World isn't it?

ARREST or KIDNAPPING?

Joe Ryan was charged under Penal Code 403, and 626.8. Penal Code 403 says it is inapplicable to debates (right in paragraph two of the short statute)! Penal 626.8 can only be used against persons who are on a campus "without lawful business thereon . . .". The statute goes on to define 'lawful business' as "a reason for being on school property which is not otherwise prohibited by statute or ordinance, or by any regulation adopted pursuant to statute or ordinance". There is no ordinance or statute that prohibited Joe Ryan from attending or participating in a debate held on the Cuyamaca College campus. Furthermore, Penal Code 626.8 also says, "This section shall not be used to impinge upon the lawful exercise of constitutionally protected rights of FREEDOM OF SPEECH or assembly". [emphasis added]. The Grossmont Police Chief, or whoever approved my arrest, knew they were misapplying the law (thereby committing a crime by making a false arrest); yet they did so anyway. They are counting on being protected by Bonnie Dumanis, Superior Court judges, and all the other criminals supporting Duncan Hunter's campaign.
