Class-action lawsuit demands justice for peaceful protesters

A Hollywood conservative has filed an amended federal lawsuit to obtain justice for all those who were in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, when some protesters rioted at the Capitol, but who were not part of that group.

The complaint, seeking class action designation, was filed by Siaka Massaquoi, on behalf of those innocent people who have "been rounded up, had their homes and businesses violated and broken into, their property such as cell phones and computers seized without probably cause, arrested, prosecuted, denied bail, or some even thrown into solitary confinement."

The description is according to a statement released by Larry Klayman, of FreedomWatchUSA.

The case was filed earlier, but was rejected out of hand by a magistrate who had not even held a hearing. That was complicated by a DOJ functionary who insisted the case go back to district court. But at that point, the case was moved to small claims court to retrieve Massaquoi's personal property confiscated by the FBI, and a judge moved it back to federal court to name the individual FBI agents, where Klayman filed an amended document.

The action by Massaquoi, an activist and entertainer, now is in federal court in the Central District of California.

It is over the "unconstitutional raid by the FBI and its agents, as ordered by and at the direction of FBI Director Christopher Wray, as part and parcel to the bureau's post January 6, 2021, roundup of even peaceful protestors who were in Washington, D.C., in support of President Trump and a nation free from rank government corruption."

The filing seeks to be on behalf of the many in Washington that day "who did not commit any felony crimes or engage in any violence, but who are being terrorized and chilled in the exercise of their rights, harassed, and targeted by these defendants for peacefully expressing political opinions and ideologies in order to quash all dissent…"

It continues, "While there were some people who chose to enter and engage in acts of violence in the U.S. Capitol, Plaintiff Massaquoi was not among those." In fact, all he did was to "exercise his right to peacefully assemble and protest."
