Can You Buy A Judge? On February 17, Paul Denson a 18 year old , was skateboarding on the sidewalk when he passed a British Standing Army in his neighborhood. When Paul was riding the sidewalk his wheels got stuck in some sand and he fell off, fumbling onto the soldier knocking him into the grass. The Standing Army immediately arrested Paul and took him to jail for assaulting a British officer. Paul tried to explain to the officer that it was a mistake. Paul explained to him that his skateboards wheels had gotten stuck in some sand and he fell off onto him, he also explained that if the officer went back to the spot where Paul had fallen onto him then he would see the skateboard still stuck in the sand. The Judge has decided to hold the trial next month for these offenses. At his court hearing today, Paul repeatedly asked the judge for a jury trail. Judge Nicklaus Jackson responded, “A Jury Trial is not a right. You assaulted and officer therefore you are held accountable.”After the interview, the judge was overheard telling friends that he knew that the king wanted to make sure that any violence on a British officer was punished to the fullest extent of law. He also told his friends that he felt the king would give him a pay raise if the outcome of the trial was in his favor. Several Supporters of Paul Denson are planning a protest at the courthouse. @ShawnSpencer

Boston--April 16: As homeowner Jacob Smith was preparing for a lazy Saturday afternoon of football, a knock at the front door of his modest Boston home jarred the homeowner from his sports-induced coma. There at the door stood six soldiers in their red coats. Jacob was ordered by the Captain to make room for the six men and their gear "by order of her royal majesty, Elizabeth II." When Mr. Smith resisted this intrusion by merely questioning the order, he was swiftly kicked and told to stop questioning and start making space. According to sources close to the situation Mr. Smith, though complying temporarily, has no intention of acquiescing to this unfair invasion of his private residence. "The Queen already gets most of my money in the form of taxes," the Bostonian complained, "and now she thinks she can stick her troops in my house." The Lord Mayor of Boston has given a statement on this earlier today. In his statement, Lord Walpole says, "Bostonians may not like quartering these soldiers but the Queen is the Queen and what Parliament says still goes." No one expects any help from the Lord Mayor, of course, since his job depends solely on the will of the Sovereign. As for Mr. Smith, he closed the door after making this statement: "I told them there was no room for them in my inn, but they just pushed on in and told me that they weren't as easy to get rid of as a Mary and Joseph were."
