DTube - Will Ross Ulbricht Be FREED? - Lyn Ulbricht Breaks Down The Latest News

in #news6 years ago


One of our most recent video interviews!
See the original article below:

Josh Sigurdson talks with Lyn Ulbricht, mother of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht regarding the most recent news in his case and imprisonment.
Ross allegedly ran The Silk Road, a site that allowed individuals to freely interact on the market, restricted involuntary uses of force and aggression, but allowed individuals to sell contraband. No one was hurt by the website, though some people did attempt to do terrible things on the platform. Ross was blamed for what other people did and was arrested as some type of "kingpin" at the age of 26 and sentenced to 2 life sentences plus 40 years, an unheard of sentence for a peaceful individualist.
Lyn explains the recent denial by the Supreme Court of his petition, the recently dropped charges against Ross, the massive petition going viral to have him freed (which you can find linked below as well as in the comments) and Lyn's message to President Donald Trump.
Lyn is pleading with Trump to commute Ross' sentence as he has hurt no one and is being unjustly imprisoned.
Individuals need to step up and stand up for Ross. It's an issue of conscience. By the same logic that Ross was locked up for, you may as well lock up the creator of the internet for what individuals have done online over the years. You may as well lock up all landlords where tenants sold contraband out of their apartments. Where does one draw the line? It's absurd and draconian.

The Free Ross petition continues to gain steam as it's obvious to most anyone that there is absolutely NO reason whatsoever that Ross should be locked away, not to mention longer than some of the sickest, most horrible people committing the most horrible crimes.

See FreeRoss.org for more info and please sign the petition!

Stay tuned for more from WAM!

He is an example of going against the state so they won't free him unless forced. Although the FBI corruption on the case was so bad there is a legal angle I would imagine. Entrapment, corruption and the like.

The RIDICULOUS drug war ❗️Its free market enterprise ‼️💵 WORK❗️Look you sheeple out there don’t have to like something , but don’t go passing comfort laws just to make you feel better . We already have way too many unconstitutional laws on the books right now ❗️Prohibition doesn’t work ❗️Regulations and taxes do . I can understand taxing something based on its detriment to humanity , but keep in mind that it cost between $35,000 and $50,000 a year to lock someone up for a none violent offense . Thats a lot of money 💵 so you can feel better about your self importance . And if these individuals would agree to get a place of business like a liquor, or tobacco shack would . Both recreational drugs by the way that have no legal penalty with it , and kills millions around the world 🌎 . And pay taxes , rent , employees 💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵 They make sure its not getting into the hands of kids , the drive by shootings stop ✋ . See they will stop 🛑 because when you make things illegal , you employ criminals . When you make them adhere to our values , and standards then you get law abiding citizens that pay their taxes and are members of the community . The drug war makes no sense , for you can not micro manage a civilization ❗️Government should not be in the job of babysitting ❗️Survival of the fittest needs to take more play in life . If someone wishes to waste away by drinking their lives away no one throws him in jail , and he gets to do just that . We can not be putting ourselves in the position of dictating someone’s destiny . I don’t want the bad KARMA that comes from that ❗️
