Korey Rowe arrested for desertion

Mere words never seem like enough, but I'd like to take this opportunity to very sincerely thank all of you for your service. It means a lot.

Arrests and court martials for deserters are incredibly rare

Because desertion is incredibly rare and it's difficult to find a deserter when he deserts. But when they are caught, almost always they are prosecuted. Rowe's relatively high profile made finding him not hard and not a surprise. Where do Alex Jones and Paul Joseph Watson get the authority to make the above claim, and why didn't they reference it? Show, don't tell gentlemen.


and this appears to be an obvious case of political persecution as the Loose Change crew prepare the cinematic release of the final version of their popular documentary.

I really need to punch someone in the face right now. Please, somebody let me punch them in the face.

I'm curious about this. Is it true? Its hard to tell with all the jokes and sarcasm around the thread, since I'm new here.

Its odd for them to go after deserters. I've read that the government doesn't really go after them at all and deserters can go back to living their lives in peace. As long as they don't get a ticket or arrested, they won't appear on their radar.

Good idea, join the Army, desert and just wait. Your good job is going, 150k a year, and then knock, knock, off to jail. Darn, a felony. Oops. I think you are correct and wrong at the same time. There is just not a big effort because you have screwed yourself. If you were wanted for other charges then the police and others would try harder, but just leaving is self critiquing. In 2 years, 5 years, or 50 years, you will be found, or not. As you cruise across I-40 in OK, and you are stopped and they run your name you never changed! Off to Jail.

Rowe is not the sharpest tool in the shed if he believe in his own LC fiction. Always change your name if you are going to do stupid stuff. The whole story could be better than LC. Was he the producer? If so and LC actually is making him money he sure lucked out on the fraud of LC, which he can now use for his defense fund.

I thought I heard Lyte Trip volunteer...
 
How come its only now that they are bothering with him ?

He's been a deserter for years hasn't he?

So unless the army has been completely incompetant in checking their records; why now?

In my opinion this has nothing to do with his Loose Change project. It is a deserter captured like any other. No one targeted him because of his producer role.

Fair enough. I was asking because you said that it was true deserters are not usually pursued and arrested.

I would agree, without knowing much about the case at all, that if this arrest were for show, it would make sense to time it around the opening of LCFE.

That said. This is no different than violating any other law. I do find it surprising that a guy would take such a risk, being in the public, for such a controversial film.

Sort of like violating parole while promoting a documentary about police brutality.

Maybe he's really a government agent and his work with the 'truth' movement is now done so they need an excuse to get him back without tipping the 'truthers' off.


What?


Hey, I thought it was a believable as anything they have come up with.

oh, be like that then.....

Political persecution? Right. So, then, why weren't Dylan Avery and Jason Bermas arrested for desertion?
 
According to the article, someone called the sherrif to tip him off to Korey's whereabouts and deserter status.

Seems like someone had an axe to grind.

The obvious problem with the Alex Jones interpretation is, of course, the unsupported assumption that LC:FE is, in fact, close to "opening." I'll believe that when I see it.

In my opinion, Mr. Rowe may have had his own reasons for desertion, and they may even have been good ones. I don't know. I will state, however, that if he wanted to become an activist, this is a stupid way to do it. The other members of Looser Than Words would be well advised to distance themselves from this event, since it appears they don't have the facts either.

It appears that Mr. Rowe simply made a stupid decision. It happens. However, the more stupid decisions one makes, the harder it is to redeem oneself. Just as I remain an optimist that the conspiracy theorists eventually realize their mistakes and grow out of them, I hope Mr. Rowe shapes himself up double-quick, for his own good.
 
Love that Alex Jones logic.

Korey couldn't have flown if there were warrants (hidden premise - because we live in a police state).

Korey flew several times.

Therefore, there were no warrants.

The fact that we don't live in a police state didn't cross his mind.
 
Hmmm. Too ironic for words! What with Chris Bollyn being a wanted man, and this happening to Rowe, I wonder if the Twoofers now appreciate that, In Real Life, actions have consequences? Let's ask Ward Churchill - oh - no, wait a minute ...

There's that old high-school mentality. "I'm in trouble, but it's not my fault for actually doing something wrong; it's your fault for telling on me/finding out about it."

If Korey hadn't deserted in the first place, the person with the axe to grind would be SOL, wouldn't he?
 
Someone already called for Korey T-shirts...although I don't think they'll like my design....
