Why the Government has risked so much to bring down a Store like Yellow House

Many people ask “But why would all these officials risk their careers and reputations to go after a little second hand store like the Yellow House? They argue that the whole thing sounds very unbelievable.”

So here is my answer:

To start out with the Yellow House Business has been in Lawrence for more than 20 years.

This town is run on the “Good Ole Boy” mentality. It has no elected Mayor, no police review board, no City Manager or Attorney that provides Police oversight. A City commission that is run from people that are on the inside and have close ties and refuse to provide oversight when complaints are filed.

Its already been shown through the evidence that The Pawn shops and the Police officers in Lawrence Kansas have their little “gig” going on, and the Pawn shops feel that the Yellow House is in the way.

So the Police officers decide to put the pressure on the Yellow House and help their buddies at the Pawn shop out.

They decide to set up the Yellow House. They figured if they could get a search warrant, they would be able to take down the Yellow House, do away with the Pawn Shops competition, and get to seize the assets, the merchandise, personal belongings (which they could sell to the Pawn Shops) home and business property of the owners. It seemed like a win win situation!

So they make an altered sting video, sell a few things to the Yellow House donated by the Target Corporation, and then serve a search warrant on the business and the residence of the owners with very little preliminary investigation. They Seize thousands of dollars worth of expensive desktop and laptop computers, Ipods, Tools, cameras, video games, MP3 players, jewelry, and home appliances. They seize a high end gun collection locked in a safe at the residence, one rare heirloom gun alone in the collection had an estimated low value of $16,000.00.

The next day before looking into any of the evidence, the Lawrence Kansas Police Department call a press conference. In the press conference they make accusatory statements as facts, they label the defendants as Fencers, and even put dollar amounts on the crime without any charges filed and no arrests made. After that horrific press conference there was no going back!

The case becomes a problem, when the defendants refuse to plead guilty, realize their seized expensive belongings are missing from the Police departments property room, ask for investigations, and start demanding some Constitutional rights!

From there it is just a long chain of Government colleagues of 20 years in high up positions pulling favors for each other to get this situtation handled.

Colleagues scratching each others back, in exchange for kickbacks, favors, forfeitures, and whatever! The police, the Kansas Department of Justice prosecutors, the FBI, the KBI, the Postal Service, the IRS, City leaders, the press, various attorneys. It is just mind boggling to see how deep the chain of buddies willing to cover-up for each other and railroad innocent citizens that get in their way goes!

WITH THAT SAID:
I want to reinterate that along the way there have been many Officers, Detectives, agents, Judges, reporters and members of the press, and various other officials, customers and friends that do not approve of what has been done to the Yellow House business owners. Most are powerless to do anything but privately voice their opionion, advice or support. To them I dedicate this video below.
