An update from our favorite local activist and his ongoing fight against city hall . . . Double pressers just to keep up with his prolific pace . . .
The Battle for Kansas City between Mayor Quinton Lucas & Activist Clay Chastain (In the Missouri Western District Court of Appeals) takes a decisive turn as Lucas begs the Court for '60 - MORE DAYS' to respond to Chastain's legal thunder (See attachments). And if Lucas (who misused government to damage, overpower and strip away the rights of a Citizen) loses to Chastain will Mayor Lucas admit he has "damaged the City" (like he said City Manager Brian Platt did) and Resign?
To keep the corruption going, Lucas ordered the City's legal dept. to prosecute Chastain but was foiled when Kansas City Municipal Judge Martina Peterson (emphatically) ruled (6/23) Chastain did not do anything unlawful, disruptive or out of order. Thus, Lucas had no "probable cause" to order Chastain censored, arrested, imprisoned & maliciously prosecuted. Nevertheless, Asst. City Attorney Carolina Torres Valle has been assigned to stonewall the Court, rescue Lucas & preserve the Swamp. With 60 - City Attorneys on retainer, Lucas wants the Court to believe he needs another 2 - Months to face (Pro se) Chastain after trying to criminalize him over Two Years Ago! Mr. Transparency did not want Chastain amplifying (@ a 'Public' Council Forum) his refusal to debate, so Lucas ordered Chastain strong armed out of City Hall and carted off to jail.
The fate of a struggling City, its dishonorable-acting Mayor & its gallant Activist hang in the balance. Even though some dislike Clay Chastain, let the facts of this case impart their weight upon the (blind) "Scales of Justice".
Another note . . .
Clay Chastain Press release: Chastain files Motion to deny Lucas' phony Motion for a 60 - day extension of time to file (obviously designed to manipulate the Courts, delay justice (further ) and damage Chastain).
To provide the Court and the Community an idea of the kind of manipulative Mayors Clay Chastain has been dealing with for the last 32-years, Mayor Lucas assisted by... Assistant City Attorney Carolina Torres Valle...insulted Chastain with a $50 offer (and no apology) to settle the case in a Court-ordered Mediation. Lucas not only played games with Chastain during mediation, he is now playing games with the Western District Court of Appeals by requesting a (fraudulent) extension of time to file.
