The blue gun thugs never met a real man they didn't want to destroy. Not much news there.

"suspicion of harassment."

Thats thought police in action.

Maybe handing out leaflets is illegal in the UK. Over here it would be protected "free speech."

But of course the law hardly ever stops the blue gun thugs from beating up men and then hauling him off to spend a night or two in a hellhole cell before he can get a lieyer to get the law applied.

More power to his elbow, I say. He knows the risks of blowing his nose in public. And breathing. He knows that he only has to wear a red shirt in the street for 'Spiderman' to swing into people's minds. He knows that whatever he does can be twisted by the evil minds of feminists and their running dog lackies.

He is an MRA we can all admire for his courage and ownership of action.

He knows the risks and is prepared to take them.

He has the courage of conviction - and doesn't shrink from being convicted.

Ray Barry. GO Ray.

Update
Following his arrest Ray Barry regarding a groundless complaint made by his ex-wife. Ray Barry (Tuesday 19 March) planned another protest outside Wolverhampton Police Station regarding The failure of Family law with a placard and leaflets.
But before he was to mount his protest he was arrested again. Here is the messege he sent out today:

Message from Ray Barry

Dear all,

Thanks for the support yesterday. The 3 of us were all released
yesterday evening, after being locked up for about 10 hours. We were
not charged or bailed to return, and the Police intend no further
action against us on this matter.

Now that the dust has settled, I've worked out what happened. As you
know we were planning nothing more than a peaceful protest, with a
placard, megaphone and leaflets, on the pavement outside the Police
station.

I sent out a press release before-hand, and I later discovered that
one local paper, the Express and Star, decided to forward it to the
Police. When I arrived at 8.45 am, I could see police officers
guarding all the entrances to the building. They spotted me, and 2
officers followed me to a cafe where I met up with Mike Wiffen and
Keith Hallawell. Within a few minutes, there were 6 officers crowded
around us inside the cafe, and after a while, they received
instruction on their radios to arrest us, which they did.

They told us they had received intelligence that we intended to climb
on the roof of the police station, and damage it, and so they were
arresting us on suspicion of conspiracy to commit criminal damage.

The intelligence can have been no more than our press release which
the Express & Star sent to them. No reasonable person reading it
could have believed that it indicated an intention to climb on the
building and damage it, and if that had been our intention we are
hardly likely to have put out a press release in advance about it.
When they eventually questioned me it came out that their reasoning
went something like this: these 3 people in this cafe are linked to
fathers rights protests. Fathers rights protestors climb buildings;
therefore these 3 people must intend to climb our building; they
could not climb our building without damaging it in the process;
therefore they must have conspired to criminally damage our building.

Conspiracy is an indictable offence, and so arrest for conspiracy
allowed them to search each of our homes while we were detained in
the cells. They searched mine and took away my computer, and some
documents, which they returned to me when I was released without
charge yesterday evening. They may have searched Mike's and Keith's
homes as well.

Wow! What a thought process! The implications for all of us in this
movement could be serious. If other police forces do the same it
could mean that, simply because of our historic association with roof-
top protests, any equal parenting protesters who are planning a
peaceful demo may automatically be suspected of conspiring to commit
criminal damage, leading to their arrest, search of their home, and
removal of key items like computers!

What price democracy and freedom of speech now?

On a practical level, the next step is for the 3 of us to sue the
police. If they are allowed to get away with this, they will believe
they can get away with anything.

Thanks again for the support, and please put this message out to your
members.

Regards,

Ray

I stand corrected the protest yesterday was about the police continually arresting and harassing Ray without justification,

http://www.megaphonedad.net/on-line%...eaflet%202.pdf

How can police keep getting away with that? It is police abusing their power and very sickening an disturbing how they can keep doing that especially with "suspicion of....." when no crime has actually been committed, it sounds like a police state to me....

Thick friggin' plods. I bet they have a mate called Noddy who drives a little yellow car (properly licensed of course).

But, guys, what a Vulnerability.

Perhaps someone in the UK can send another press release to the newshounds saying thet 45 MRAs will be outside the cop-shop at 12 noon with carrier bags full of puple powder and superglue.

Then no-one turn up to confront the massed brigade of coppers bussed in from all over the west midlands.

LOL I love it. Its almost better than protesting in .30-06 caliber.

Re: Latest Update from Ray Barry FYI


Steve, Regarding the coin tossing incident. The judge said you had
lost the toss, but did you actually see for yourself which way the
coin came up?

The prosecutor asked for a 14 day adjournment to allow her to re-consider her position

She wants to change her mind. That's about par for the course. This 'Prosecutor' is a 16 y/o Work Experience girl who wears her briefs instead of reading them, right? Send her a note saying '69' and an invoice for $250.

here is the latest regarding Ray Barry and his arrest for harrassing his ex wive.

Here is a copy of a press release I've just sent out to the Birmingham Mail.
You may want to put it out on your forum, together with my thanks for all
the good wishes I've received.

Many thanks,

Ray



Spiderman acquitted

The Birmingham Evening Mail ran a story about me on 17th March, headlined:

'Spider-man arrested for harassing ex-wife.'

I would be nice if similar coverage were given to my acquittal yesterday. I
was found not guilty yesterday by Judge Qureshi at Wolverhampton
Magistrates Court of harassing my ex-wife. I was charged with harassing her
by distributing booklets about her. My defence was that the High Court had
previously ruled I could do so, and that I was arrested for doing exactly
the same thing in 2001, and on that occasion, the CPS read the booklet and
said there was nothing unlawful in it.

I wrote in advance of yesterday¹s trial to the CPS asking for copies of the
2001 records of my arrest to support my defence. They wrote back, refusing
to show them to me, saying they were not relevant, and that anyway the
documents show 'There is no record of any CPS involvement.'

On the morning of the first day of the trial, the judge gave a formal
reprimand to the CPS for purporting to speak on behalf of the court in this
letter, without the court¹s authority to do so. The judge then directed that
the police custody log of the 2001 arrest must be produced in court that
afternoon.

When it appeared, the log showed: 'Person In Custody (Raymond Barry)
distributing leaflets/booklets published by himself about his former
wife...'Person in custody released following review of evidence with CPS
lawyers as to conduct of this person in custody...'

In short, when the CPS wrote to me saying they had no involvement in the
2001 arrest, that was untrue.

I had also argued that the police only decided to press this harassment
charge because I and some friends tried to protest against their harassment
of me outside Bilston St Police station, Wolverhampton. Nothing had been
done about the harassment matter for the 2 weeks following my arrest, then
on the day of the protest, 18th March, 11 statements were signed and dated
that same day to support the harassment charge. I argued this could not be
pure co-incidence, and that the charge was only brought to teach me a lesson
for daring to protest against the Police.

After acquitting me, the judge made a number of criticisms of the Police and
of the CPS, saying in particular: 'The incident of 2001 in the defence
statement was summarily dismissed in an off-hand way by CPS, yet that
document proved crucial.'

Way to go, Ray.

Ray's the MAN.

The Spiderman.

Good for Ray!

Unlike some folks, I know that not all law enforcement is bad.... But the ones that are? As in this case, clearly... they should be shown for who they are!
