Daniel Johnson's Dream of Arrest Comes True

[Anna]

Several Blogs and other sources have discussed this so I thought it
should be mentioned here.

Daniel Johnson is one of those people who isn't happy unless he is in
conflict with "the Man." He has pushed the envelope on public nudity
one time too many it seems and someone has now pushed back.

Now I am talking about PUBLIC Nudity here. He has also been involved
in designated public places nudity (designed nude swimming events at
public facilities and an effort for a clothing optional beach in
Seattle) which I am indeed supportive of (although when it comes to a
public designated nude beach I fear that any such effort is doomed as
the experience of most other nude beaches is that they soon become
places where public sex occurs especially with Gay Males). But I have
never been supportive of any "in your face" general public nudity
effort where someone gets nude in a public place where nudity isn't
expected. He has been involved in the Marxist World Naked Bike Ride
which is what he got in trouble for.

But like I said he thrives on such controversy and has been pushing
people for quite some time now. So now he got the fight he has wanted
but I hope he finds out the old saying "be careful for what you wish
for" because perhaps he will be taught a lesson.

Here's another blog about Daniel Johnson. Please be sure to post
comments of support (I assume) there as well as trying to defend him
here.

I for one wouldn't have a problem with Daniel if it wasn't for his
public nude shenanigans and I commend his work for designated nude
activities. I wish he would just stick to designated nude swim
nights.

One thing I don't get is that he is very careful in his designated
nude swim nights in who he lets in. He requires people to go through
background checks. Now that part I am fully supportive of but what I
don't get is if he realizes that need for background checks for his
designated nude swim nights since such activities do attract pervs as
well as legit nudists why doesn't he get how a clothing optional beach
where people don't go through such background checks is doomed to
failure and more generally how public nudity is a bad idea because one
of course can't weed out the pervs there?

Here is a local news video regarding Daniel Johnson's arrest.

As you can see Daniel Johnson thrives on this stuff.

Perhaps a year with Bubba as his roommate might change his mind. It
would certainly discourage him from being nude in his cell.

Here's an article about Daniel. Please go to the original website as
the comment section at the bottom (which I am not posting here) has a
lot of comments - 249 of my posting of this.

SEATTLE -- A letter from the city that took Daniel Johnson by
surprise.

"The charge is for indecent exposure," he said.

If convicted, he could be sentenced up to 365 days and fined up to
$5,000. And it's all for a bike ride he took in the buff back in
September.

Johnson was among many others who also participated in the World Naked
Bike Ride. But it appears the group's "nude, not lewd" message has hit
a bump in the road.

"Sometimes it's a big pain in the butt -- that's figuratively," he
said.

He doesn't know who filed the complaint, but he says it goes against
his quest for conversation.

"Simplify their lives, consider cycling. It makes such a huge
difference in our carbon footprint," he said.

Johnson says he's disappointed there's now a legal reaction to a years-
long practice in the city.

"Kind of a sad waste of taxpayer's money, especially right now. The
city doesn't have money for this kind of thing," he said. "We'll see
how far they want to take it, I don't know. The ball's in their
court."

And if it comes to fighting back, Johnson is ready to ride.

And "Anna" is one of those guys who isn't happy unless he is in
conflict with rec.nude regulars (with, of course, the exception of
those who have him in their killfiles).

Funny how that works out. Like is attracted to like.

(Looking at self with disapproval.)

Eek! I guess we seek each other out.
