Guest Kevin Mackie and his attorney Ilya on GOUSA's "THEM vs YOU" Show Ep. 23

John Paul's "THEM vs YOU" Show - where it's Not Left vs Right or Red vs Blue, it's THEM vs YOU"! Featured this week is Kevin Mackie - Who is Facing Political Prosecution for Defending Himself from a Violent Leftist Attacker.

On July 8, 2022, a group protesting against COVID vaccines being given to 5-11 year olds at a vaccine clinic at the children's Discovery Museum in Acton, MA was assaulted by local resident Fred Smith (the man in the video in the brown shirt). Smith was charged with 3 counts of Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon (a pipe), 1 count of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (a pipe), Assault and Battery, and Disorderly Conduct.

On February 1, 2023, all of Smith's charges were dropped with the exception of the Assault and Battery charges. For those, he agreed to 9 months of pretrial probation consisting of anger management classes.

Kevin Mackie, one of the protestors (the man in the video with the long beard), defended the group against Smith's assault. For it, he is charged with Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon (a megaphone), Assault and Battery, and Trespass. Despite the prosecution possessing the video of the interaction showing that Smith was the first aggressor, with witnesses testifying to the same, they continue to prosecute Mr. Mackie instead of Mr. Smith. The judges are also refusing to dismiss the trespassing charge even after being presented with the notarized deed showing that Mr. Mackie was protesting on a public easement. The same charge has already been dismissed for the other protestors at a show cause hearing before a court clerk.
