About Eric
Eric has been incarcerated since 11/2014
After spending a brutal 2.5 years pre-trial at CCA Leavenworth, Eric accepted a 10-year non cooperative plea deal in June of 2016. After spending a brutal 2.5 years pre-trial at CCA Leavenworth. During the Ferguson uprising in Kansas City Missouri he attempted to throw a Molotov Cocktail at an empty federal building at night time. 2016 was not the year to get federal charges for Molotov cocktails. 2021 seems to be the MOST friendly to insurrection 👀(watching those cap riot sentences like woah 😳)
Eric is a Anarchist, a father, a poet, a brutal scrabble player, an adoring Swiftie and an undying anti-fascist. The word undying is literal. His refusal to accept the federal prison system as unchanging has been a threat to his life on multiple occasions. He has been beat, he has been tortured, he has been sent to the hospital. Separated from his family, from his supporters. He has spent the last 5 years in segregation. Has not had a social phone call since 12/2019. He was brought into a closet off camera by a Lieutenant and attacked and later charged with a crime that he spent 4 years fighting.
Eric King was AQUITTED by a federal jury. The bop used the fact that he was pending charges to justify attack after attack, indefinite segregation, communication restrictions and everything else they have done to him. The bop used the pending charges to justify why they needed to download photos of his daughter breastfeeding from the internet and place them into his central file as the answer to Senate inquiries. However the acquittal didn’t change their tune. He, was in the dederal supermax, Colorado’s own Guantanamo, ADX Florence within a year. And the path was not pleasant. He was first deprived and tortured at USP Lee spending the entire time with zero letters from his family phone calls or visits before he was finally placed at the ADX.
He has been a sounding board for bureau of prisons tactics against anti-fascist and other organizers. He has received rioting shots for poetry. He has been referred to the counterterrorism unit for passing out Union cards. Assault shots for cartoons. Placed in ADX for protests outside the facility, the auctions of free people outside celebrating the worldwide tradition of a New Year’s Eve global noise demo. After his indictment the AUSA started a US Marshal investigation on every single person in the courtroom for his indictment. Later the AUSA would use that investigation to close the courtroom to the public for his evidentiary hearing. The paranoia and attacks from the DOJ have always been reactions to community support. They fear a community that supports prisoners. They fear community can actually result in abolition.
