“What happens if you cannot assert your rights?”

During the Alaska Gold Rush, George Hinton Henry, the “Father of Alaska Journalism,” kept printing true but scathing articles of the magistrate in Rampart. The magistrate had Henry arrested. But that did not stop Henry from printing the articles.  He wrote the articles by hand the slipped them out the jail to another printer. Then the  magistrate put the press in jail.  And he released Henry. Henry went on to another town – and another printer. The original printer was ‘released’ to a garbage dump where it was rescued a decade later – and is still in Rampart. [The printer was never read its Miranda Rights.]
