Hakken Family, Separated Over Pot Arrest, Has Allegedly Arrived in Cuba
Joshua Hakken, the Florida man who
kidnapped his own children after being inititally separated from
them due to a marijuana arrest, has allegedly landed with his
family in Cuba.
CNN reports that ;
A man on a boat at a Havana marina told CNN’s Patrick Oppmann he
is Josh Hakken, the U.S. man accused of kidnapping his sons and
sailing them to Cuba.
He declined to answer questions, and Cuban security asked a CNN
reporter to leave.
The man, who fit Hakken’s description, was with a woman who fits
the description of his wife. Both were aboard a blue sailboat named
“Salty.” The CNN reporter also saw one child on the boat.
Hakken, a Louisiana man who lost custody of his two young sons,
is accused of abducting them, together with his wife, according to
a Florida sheriff’s department.
Joshua Hakken, who media outlets continue to describe as
“anti-government” due to his anarchist/libertarian postings on
firearm and homeschooling forums, kidnapped his children from his
mother-in-law last Wednesday, just one day after a Louisiana judge
terminated his and Sharyn Hakken’s parental rights.
The judge’s ruling allegedly stems from Hakken’s June 2012
arrest in Slidell, Louisiana. The Hakken family–Joshua and Sharyn,
and their sons, Cole and Chase–were staying in a hotel in Slidell
when police were called due to a “disturbance.” Slidell Police
claim they found Joshua Hakken in possession of a gun, a knife,
and marijuana, and that the couple said they were “taking a journey
to the Armageddon.” Hakken was charged with using a controlled
substance in front of a minor, and his children were immediately
placed in foster care. Hakken allegedly spent a week in jail
according to Slidell police. Upon his release he showed up at the
foster home where his children were and demanded that they be
returned to him at gunpoint. When the woman who ran the foster home
said no, Hakken left. ;
Fast-forward to last week: After a year separated from his
children, Hakken showed up early Wednesday morning at the home of
Patricia Hauser, his wife’s mother and the children’s guardian, and
restrained her with zip ties. He then took Cole, 4, and Chase, 2,
and left with them in Hauser’s car. Only minutes away from Hauser’s
home near Tampa, Hakken allegedly rendevouzed with Sharyn Hakken.
The family of four then drove to nearby Madeira Beach, boarded the
family sailboat, and set sail. Florida law enforcement didn’t
realize until the weekend that the Hakkens had taken to the Gulf of
Mexico. Since the family disappeared, media outlets and law
enforcement have suggested the Hakkens meant to harm their children
and possibly themselves. It looks more and more like they simply
wanted their children back. … Read More
The Hakken Child Abduction Story Apparently Started With a Simple Marijuana Arrest
It’s been 24 hours since Joshua Hakken
allegedly
broke into his mother-and-law’s house in Tampa, tied her up
with zip ties, and left with his sons Cole and Chase–who are two
and four years old–in his mother-in-law’s car. Florida law
enforcement authorities say the “anti-government” couple of Joshua
and Sharyn Hakken are now on the run with Cole and Chase in tow.
Law enforcement agencies in Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana have
all issued child abduction alerts, as well as disseminated pictures
of the Hakken family. ;
Over the course of those 24 hours, we’ve learned a thing or two
about the Hakkens from law enforcement and the media. The story
taking shape is both tragic and infuriating, as it appears from an
interview with officials in Louisiana that the couple’s problems do
indeed stem from Joshua Hakken’s 2012 marijuana arrest. ;
Here’s what we know at this point about the chain of events that
led the Hakkens to “abduct” their own children:
Joshua Hakken, an engineer from Tampa, Florida, was arrested at
an “anti-government rally” in a hotel in Slidell, Louisiana, on
June 17, 2012; and charged with “Possession of Marijuana,
Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Possession of a controlled
dangerous substance in the presence of a minor.”
According to Det. Daniel Seuzeneau, the Slidell police officer
who arrested Joshua Hakken, ”He was under the influence of
narcotics and also had narcotics inside his hotel room and he was
speaking kind of out of his mind a little bit.” ;
Seuzeneau says that Department of Children and Family Services
was called, the kids were taken, and Hakken was jailed for “maybe a
week or so but not very long.”
The children were placed in temporary foster care in
Louisiana.
Allegedly armed with a firearm, Joshua Hakken tried to “abduct”
his children from the foster care facility, and then left when he
could not get inside.
According to multiple media outlets, a judge in Louisiana gave
permanent custody of the Hakken children to Sharyn Hakken’s mother
in Tampa on Tuesday of this week. ;
On Wednesday, Joshua Hakken broke into his mother-in-law’s
house shortly after her husband had gone to work,
restrained her with zip ties, and left with the kids. Several
hours later, his mother-in-law broke free and called the
police. ;
The Amber Alert issued by Hillsborough County (Florida)
Sheriffs Department says the Hakkens “are anti-government,” have
“attempted a previous abduction at gun point in Louisiana,” and
“are considered armed and dangerous.”
Joshua Hakken is facing two counts of kidnapping, two counts of
interference in child custody, two counts of child neglect, one
count of false imprisonment, burglary with a battery, and grand
theft auto. If he was armed when any of that happened, Florida’s 10-20-Life law
could come into play. ;
While I haven’t been able to figure out anything about the
“anti-government” rally Hakken was allegedly attending in Slidell,
or what happened between June 2012 and Wednesday of this week, his
and his wife’s political beliefs are hardly the danger that law
enforcement officials are making them out to be.
From ;The
Tampa Bay Times:
In February 2012, someone writing as “SailingBull” posted to the
website for Adam vs. The Man, a forum “about challenging authority,
sticking it to the man, and giving the millennial generation a
voice.”
“My name is Joshua Hakken,” he wrote. “I am a father, a
registered professional mechanical engineer and a veteran of the
USAF. I am absolutely devoted to life, liberty, the rights of the
individual and the Constitution of the United States of America.
”
After saying that he had noticed that “things here in Florida
have not added up for quite some time,” he concluded, “in these
crazy times, maintaining open communication lines for ideas,
observations and news is absolutely crucial if the ‘good guys’ are
to be successful in surviving to maintain the fight of ideas.”
That same story includes several quotes from neighbors about how
normal and pleasant the Hakkens are, save for a rather careless
habit of smoking pot in their driveway. ; … Read More

Santorum honors his biggest donor with philanthropy award
Some people see unlimited spending in the post-Citizens United world of campaign finance as a threat to democracy. At CPAC, it’s called philanthropy and you get an award for it.After Rick Santorum finished his otherwise uneventful speech at the conservative conference Friday afternoon, CPAC chairman Al Cardenas came out to announce that he and Santorum were going to hand out a brand new award for conservative philanthropy. The recipient, it turned out, was Foster Friess, the conservative billionaire who almost single-handily financed Santorum’s presidential campaign with his own private Super PAC.Thus, there was an odd scene on the main stage here where Friess received an award from Santorum in honor of his donations to Santorum. Friess funds other conservative causes as well, including a reportedly sizable investment in the Daily Caller website. Continue Reading… … Read More

Are guns there to stop tyranny? Is tyranny already here? Are there other ways of stopping it besides stocking up on munitions? In loading up on the First Amendment to wage war over the Second, persuasive arguments have been made on both sides. Yet the verbal combatants have fought to a virtual standstill.
