Jayel Aheram, for all appearances is indeed a former Marine who was honorably discharged last year, yet here he is speaking from jail to the Palm Desert Patch<\/a>;<\/p>\n

“I’ve been abroad to defend freedom and liberty in foreign countires. When I’m here exercising that freedom and liberty, I’m arrested, shackled and chained and threated like a common criminal,” Aheram said, wearing an orange jumpsuit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ah, the old standing on the bodies of veterans to rise above the inevitable arresting officers ploy. <\/p>\n

It appears that the city of Palm Desert gave the “occupiers” a permit for four days which expired Friday. The occupiers continued occupying through the weekend without the permission of the people of the city. So they were arrested after the park closed at 11 pm;<\/p>\n

\n“They ambushed us. It was a raid. It was a late night raid,” Aheram said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The police ambushed them after warning the protesters they’d be arrested if they continued to flaunt city ordinances.<\/p>\n

“I’m merely exercising my first amendment right. The city put a responsible citizen in jail for exercising his first amendment right,” Aheram said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, responsible citizens don’t break the law.<\/p>\n

A little Google research turned up a comment by Jayel Aheram on Red State in which he defends Kokesh against a Republican assault on Red State<\/a>;
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So I guess he can be loosely tied to IVAW. There are several other posts on the internet that connect Aheram to the anti-war ideology, although I can’t find evidence of his actual membership in IVAW, he certainly was a good candidate for them, if they still had actual veterans of Iraq in the organization.<\/p>\n
