The Lone Protester's jury trial...Tomorrow Wed Jan 23
THE LONE PROtestER July 2007
Terry Funderburk protesting contractor who hires illegal aliens
http://theloneprotester.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
If you live near Columbia, SC or know someone who does, please attend the jury trial tomorrow!
The Lone Protester stood up and protested a contractor (who had hired him for previous roofing work) -LP bid on a copper roofing job - which this contractor gave to an illegal alien roofing crew.
The police arrested the Lone Protester without reading him his rights.
ICE never checked the residency status of the illegals on the roof working - they were free - but the Lone Protester was arrested for hollering "dirty meanie" and spent the night in jail.
He asked for a jury trial. Instead, the court system, twice, has tried to make him plead guilty.
He would not plead guilty and tomorrow, Wed, Jan 23rd, he is finally getting his trial....we hope!

Lone Protester- My Trial 01/20/08

I woke up this morning with the same thought in my head that has been there since July 16th 2007. The day I got arrested. And the thought is what is the future going to bring? I do not have the slightest idea. The only thing I do know is that I am going to stand up for my rights because the justice system sure as hell isn't. I am to be in court on Jan. 23rd at 811 Washington Street, Columbia, SC 29202 at 800 am. I asking everybody to be there to support me and if you can't to please call the numbers below to give your opinion on my case. Today, 6 months after I got arrested for protesting being run out of business I am still on the verge of bankruptcy for the same reasons. Nothing has been done, nothing has changed. Except that I see fewer Americans in my industry than I did 6 months ago. And a lot fewer than was there one year ago. And I am asking for your assistance. Help me make a stand. Be there or call the following numbers to express your support. Mayor Coble- 803-545-3075, Prosecutor's office 803-737-4242, Police Department 803-545-3500.
Strangely enough I met a sheriff's deputy yesterday from Columbia, SC and had a long talk with him about my case and illegal aliens in our justice system. He is in and out of the court rooms with his cases all the time and has even appeared before the judges I have been in front of in my numerous appearances before our flaunted criminal justice system. He said something that is very striking to me. He said that the usual process in cases dealing with illegal aliens is to try them for the crimes they are charged with, and then on the question of their legality the judge simply asks them if they have jobs and pay taxes and if they say yes then they are given a free pass. There is no question asked like are they paying those taxes with fake social security numbers or did they have fake ID's or any other crimes that you or I would be slammed for.
He asked me about my case and I explained things from my viewpoint. He was very surprised that I had been arrested and charged and put in jail. And even more surprised that I requested a jury trial. He suggested that I throw myself onto the mercy of the court, explain exactly why I called someone a bad word and hope for the best. But I am too hardheaded. I am in the right and the law is supposed to be on my side. At one time in this nation's history the justice system would have come down hard on the criminals that are employing illegal aliens and running small companies like mine out of business. Trades and businesses that we have spent our lives at. It was tradesmen like us that built this country into what it is now and not people that sneak across our borders like a thieves in the night. It was businesses like mine that made the Liberty ships, the aircraft carriers, the World Trade Center, computers, Apollo rockets, the Hoover Dam and about a hundred million other things and not illegal aliens. America is what it is because of Americans and not illegal aliens.
Just this past Saturday a news article came out with a quote from an illegal alien in the construction industry in Columbia. Read it here http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselections08/story/0,,2242803,00.html. The reporters writing it do not have a clue in the subject they are discussing. Ignacio, whom they are interviewing says that the illegals do all the construction work but don't get any appreciation from us. Ignacio says that he works hard, sunup to sundown, 6 days a week, makes only 400 dollars per week and nobody likes him. Well, boo freaking hoo my man, be grateful you got that, and be grateful that you are not an American in the construction industry these days. Like me for instance, this past week, instead of working sunup to sundown and daylight to dark I didn't work one damn day, thanks to you! And I made a grand total of 300 dollars this week for work I did last week. No, this week I had to sit on my ass every day, and go out driving around and look for some jobs that you and your compadres haven't stolen like the one where you make 400 dollars a week at. And the thing is I didn't find any. Nowhere in that article by the way are there quotes from any South Carolina small businessmen. Only the people that everybody is supposed to feel sorry for. The people that aren't supposed to be here in the first place. Nobody is interested in hearing the stories of tens of thousands of South Carolinians being displaced from their jobs and businesses. All the articles I read in my local newspapers are about the plight of criminal lawbreakers and their employers and not the ones like me.
So Wednesday is the big day, the day I am to be tried for standing up for my rights as an American citizen and businessman, the day I might be going to jail for 60 days for calling someone a word that is in every dictionary. The day my business might finally go under. Come and see our criminal justice system at its finest in its prosecution of me. Everyone is welcome.

When will we organize to save our own country? Isn't it worth the effort? 0 -
there are illegal aliens in the u.s., ok i understand that.....what i dont and just cant understand is why the government just seems to refuse to deport these illegals when they are told where they are and even who they are! surely these officials have sworn to uphold the laws of the land? it seems to me when i read about these type of stories that im missing something!...why wont they arrest the illegals and deport them?maybe it will take 3 or 4 million u.s. citizen and income tax payers to mount a boycott of the income tax system as a protest!...imagine if police refused to arrest all bank robbers, or all rapists etc...their would be stuff all over the place from where it hit the fan! 0 -

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHa, oh stop it!0 -
believe it or not jp ...i can understand your response.
i dont know what the answer is for the problem though...maybe there just isnt enough voters angry enough to demand change yet?...
it is very obvious that one of these days it is going to backfire on the politicians in a big way if they ignore their own people...
in your honest opinion do you think if a refurendum was held that the majority of u.s. citizens would vote to kick illegals out? do you think they would vote to have mojor cuts in LEGAL migration?
it seems as if your country is already in or close to going into a recession...surely your country cant afford immigration...legal or illegal.
i do actually care....a strong america is a safer world.0 -

You know I read this and it makes me sick, here we are a country on the verge of a ression, we are selling bonds to the chinese, and other countrys those bonds are going to have to be paid back someday how are we going to do that when citizens are being put out of work by the illegals, in this country.
The idea that they are taking jobs that we don't want is simply not true, the construction industry, was at one time a nice place to make a living for contractors that had good reputations. There was steady work, now they have come in and taken those jobs by undercutting the price a contractor charges. the work they are doing is substandard and shoddy. You used to buy a new home and you were proud of it. I see houses nowdays that are bigger and pricier and poorley built. soon there will be a bill in congress like the lemon law in the auto industry.
If you ever seen the way they live its deplorable maybe 10-15 in a motel room each one paying the foreman for room and board. In the industry the name of those contractors are well known.
Do they pay taxes, dont be rediculas there not paying taxes, there also not paying into the workers comp program or SS. In the early 80s we used to watch the INS raid building sites and round up the illegals. the police raid no more. Now its accepted as a way of doing business.
I find it hard to believe that this guy was arrested for yelling dirty meanie at someone. but what ever it was, This man is standing up for the rights of real taxpaying citizens to work. I say support him.0 -
yes, i agree with you completely dave...stand up and support him, maybe have him as a rallying point, something or someone to fucus on and let it be known that he has the support of tax paying american citizens.
another way of showing support is to get written all contracts for getting something...house, shed...factory etc built that no illegal aliens are to be employed, and if it can be proved that illegals have been used there will be stiff financial penalties for the contractor...its only an idea, i`ve been trying to think of a magic bullet for the problem, but of course there is no one magic bullet.
maybe the answer is a lot of things combined, i really dont know...
i try to imagine that my government refused to arrest and deport known illegals and i honestly feel if it were to happen here there would be a blood bath...i cant imagine people here tollerating our government doing something like this.
there are a lot of illegals here as well, but i do know that if someone reports a suspected illegal it will be investigated quickly and there is no harn done if it is found they are here legally...it actually serves as a warning to illegals that they will be caught and be locked up until they are deported.
maybe it will take millions of americans to march in all the state capitals before your politicians will listen...as i said, i dont know...0 -
