The rage train continued in the Denver area on Thursday night when sometime activist for the homeless and free-range grandmother Regan Benson announced on a livestream that YouTuber Luis “Real Constitutional Upholders” Johnson was picked up by police and currently in jail for violating a protective order.
Benson explained that Johnson was picked up by police earlier in the day following a reported violation of the protective order by Johnson when he went to the hospital for a scheduled visit with his doctor and was seen by the father of the man he allegedly shot, who had brought his son to the same hospital for treatment.
Johnson allegedly shot the other man following a verbal altercation where Benson claimed that Johnson was attacked by six “thugs” who were all “bigger than him” resulting in Johnson shooting the man in self defense to “deescalate” the situation.
Police reports do not describe the presence of more than two men on the scene with Johnson at the time of the shooting, with other witnesses watching what had happened scattered throughout the area. While two witnesses said that the man may have thrown a punch at Johnson, they also indicated that the man was unarmed when Johnson shot him.
When reading police statements about the shooting, Benson has classified the discrepancies as the police reports as a work of “dirty ass cops” who are essentially conspiring with “stupid” judges against Johnson.
Nonetheless, Johnson was reported to police for violating the protective order by the father of his alleged victim and picked up later in the afternoon on Thursday. He will have a hearing later today and is now represented by Benson’s personal attorney, Jamie Hubbard.
Benson used the news to attack the judges who have been involved in the case, the police, Johnson’s victim, and nearly everyone else in government associated with downtown Denver. At one point puling up the LinkedIn page for Judge Annmarie Spain, who oversaw Monday’s hearing and attacking her appearance and qualifications.
The free-range grandma then attacked members of the first amendment auditing community for giving more than $68,000.00 to James Freeman’s GoFundMe while the GoFundMe for Johnson has struggled to bring in more than $100.00 per day.
She wondered aloud what was causing the lack of motivation for people to help Johnson and if it was her presence that was stopping people from giving money to the cause. She then attacked her fellow first amendment auditors for the lack of support and noted again that she was the only area auditor who has come out in support of Johnson.
It is noted that area auditors and former sometime auditing partners of Benson have come and gone over the years. The list of former partners include Theresa “Sweet Tea” Neal, Christopher “Denver Metro Audits” Cordova and Elizabeth “Aurora Transparency” Cannellis, who are either unaware of the situation with Johnson or unwilling to come out in support of Benson’s work.
Johnson himself was a part time auditing partner and quasi bodyguard for Benson over the past year. Benson has stated that police intend to murder her while she is doing homeless outreach or police monitoring in the Denver or Englewood areas and needed the armed Johson to have her back as her “second amendment rights” have been stripped due to a protection order of her own.
Benson was also recently convicted of doxing the subject of that protective order, Commander Joel Bell of the Denver Police Force. She was sentenced to a fine, jailtime and a mental health evaluation.
True to recent statements, Benson stated Thursday night that the police officers involved in the shooting of Johnson lied about their reasoning for shooting Johnson. She claimed that despite an armed Johnson ignoring from commands from officers on the street and then running from the same officers, the officers had no intention of ending the situation peacefully and implied that they had every intention to shoot the military veteran.
Johnson is currently set for a hearing this afternoon. He will be represented by Hubbard at the hearing.
This is a breaking news story.

You would almost like to say she was clueless but then she goes about telling everyone the elephant in the room. James Freeman had nicer people seeking help for him.
They are all @$$holes only less so then she is. not some banshee shirling, screeching and warbling about how he needs money.
So she is certainly part of the problem
The crime he is accused of, also a problem.
The resulting shooting mostly is the problem.
The cops lied?
He had a gun and they said put it down.
Hint
Put it down
Slowly, kick it away from you towards the cops. Do not pass go, do not collect 200$ oh wait, has Regan even raised 200$? nevermind.
Any action that you take while holding a gun might be considered aggressive by police and in fear for their lives or the lives of others, they opened fire. Lousy shots to be honest. They hit him six times and did not kill him? Academy procedure is two in the chest and one in the head. You do not survive those type of hits. He did thus they were either lousy shots or being nice to him.
So now he is back in jail for a bogus crime. He was at the hospital and the father called it in. BS A guy hit 6 times is not about to cause a fight.
So, based on this they should let him out… OTOH he was accused of daily crime so they might just use the bail violation to hang on to him.
Anyone know Colorado judges? Are they like in Texas? Or New York. In Texas, everyone goes in and New York, they let you out and give you a BJ for your troubles…
