Question

[guerillablack]

I was reading about Bobby seale and how the judge ordered him bound and gagged, was this literal?Or saying that he wasn't allowed to move or speak anymore in court or else?

[jcbn]

He was literally tied to a chair and gagged.

[guerillablack]

No pictures or sketches of it? That's some shit.

[coda]

Shackled to the chair and gagged for contempt of court and insulting the judge.

there are sketches here of the court room, but none of him being bound and gagged.
