Mr. Freeman has never been shy about excoriating anyone, cops or others, when he thought them out of line.

I understand Mr. Freeman is an attorney and has to go to that courthouse for business, but I'm free to be frank about armed men sent to intimidate someone and refusing to say who sent them.
Freeman knew that was nonsense, so asked the officers who made those allegations and who ordered them to question him. They reportedly told him they could not tell him. Freeman believes someone may have intended to intimidate him for raising questions and asking for public information.

Mr. Freeman has (or had) two legal actions going here. One was to find out who designated a storage room in the basement as a court room, and then other is to find out who told the deputies to pull him aside and question him.KLB wrote:Apparently, Indiana law permits carrying in government buildings unless the building contains a courtroom. Lafayette, Indiana, lawyer Kirk Freeman is in the news because he looked into whether he was being told the truth. Officials claimed there was a courtroom in the basement of a new building across the street from the courthouse. He investigated that and found the claim to be untrue.
