Four Iowa residents recently attempted to make a citizens' arrest of Karl Rove at the Wakonda Country Club in Des Moines, where Rove was scheduled to speak. These four individuals ranged in age from 25 to 80, and they included a retired Methodist minister and three Catholic workers.
As it turned out, the four were themselves arrested on trespassing charges.
When the first defendant, 57-year-old Mona Shaw (no relation), was called before Polk County Fifth Judicial District Associate Judge William Price, the judge asked her, "Ma'am, what were you doing at the Wakonda Country Club?"
She responded, "I was attempting to make a citizen's arrest of Karl Rove, your honor."
To that, Judge Price responded, "Well, it's about time."
Kudos to Judge Price. We need more like him.
Meanwhile, our four defendants are awaiting a jury trial which is scheduled for August 20.
