Mormons, Mesa Police, Mayhem (Part 2 of 4)

[See Part One, which has some background info.]

On Wednesday, March 27, Mr. Craft was standing on the sidewalk adjacent to the street corner of a Public Park across from the Mormon Easter Pageant. He was preaching his litany of hellfire and brimstone, warning people that the Mormon Church isn't true. (He loves them enough to warn them.)

As you can imagine, this type of activity sometimes upsets Mormons, and a Mormon man got in Mr. Craft's face. Mr. Craft ignored him, and eventually the man left. But he returned a few minutes later, walking past Mr. Craft into the park.

There happens to be a rock garden in the park (you wouldn't know this unless you'd been to the park before) and while most of the rocks are cemented in place, a few are loose. This man came back with a sizable rock in his hand, yelling again at Mr. Craft, with the rock chest high, ready to throw at him.

Fortunately for Mr. Craft, a Mesa Policeman (off duty but in uniform) was at a sweet roll stand across the street (no joke). Mr. Craft yelled for help, and the cop started across the street. Whereupon the man changed his stance, tossed the rock underhand at Mr. Craft, and walked to meet the cop.

Threatening someone with a large rock is what you and I call attempted murder - but the legal system makes it sound a little less evil and calls it "aggravated assault." Here in Arizona it's a felony - a pretty serious crime, as it should be.in this day and age if you were to hold your hand up to a cop the wrong way, you'd find your butt in jail ostensibly for assaulting a police officer - a felony offense. Clearly, holding a rock, unlike your hand, makes you a legitimate threat, so we want the same justice.

Unfortunately, despite Mr. Craft's repeated instructions that he wanted the man arrested (here in Arizona, Police officers are REQUIRED to take someone into custody if you claim they commit a felony), the officer, Officer Yunker, did not to this.instead, he talked with the man for a minute or so, and then LED HIM INTO THE PAGEANT!

Mr. Craft protested about this for 20 minutes after the fact, to no avail. Unfortunately, no Christians were around to witness the attack, and the few Mormon witnesses seem willing to forfeit entry into the Highest Heaven for the sake of their Church. (Their own Gospel Principles teach they can never get to the Highest Heaven unless they've repented of ALL their sin, a process that includes apologizing to those they've wronged (Mr. Craft) and righting that wrong (telling the truth). I also point out that one of the 10 Commandants is "Thou shall not bear false witness." But apparently it's okay if it's for the sake of "The One True Church."

This Mormon man (Photo) is a witness.

Will he tell the truth or fall on his sword for the Church?

Mr. Craft decided to call the police on the police. Well, you know how that went. Needless to say, lots of obfuscation. No one officially interviewed officer Yunker, the cop who let the felon go.

He met a few other bad actors. Meet Officer "This is MY town and we do things MY way" Brooks. Brooks Photo below

In apparent retaliation for calling the cops on the cops, the Mesa Police decided - two months after all this - to "arrest" (in absentia) Mr. Craft, the victim, for the misdemeanor of "Disorderly Conduct." No one called the police on Mr. Craft that night - all the witness statements alleging disorderly conduct were gathered the next night, at the urging of the Police. He was not arrested that next night either. (Pretty impressive how diligent they are tracking down those non-reported crimes, and misdemeanors at that.)

[Mr. Craft's lawyer is still trying to figure out how they could file charges that late, and manage to call it an arrest, when no one called in a complaint. Nonetheless, charges were somehow filed in Court (the Prosecutor was caught off guard as well), and as of this writing, the case is to be tried. Only in Mesa. Well, maybe Mr. Craft can win a million dollars from the Mesa P.D. For malicious prosecution so he can travel back to Mesa to preach to the Mormons. Wouldn't that be ironic justice? (We can always pray.)]

There's more to this story developing - look for an update in September.
