These "only ones" got off easy. Had those been armed citizens they shot the trial would never had been needed, only four body bags.
Now we need to lock up anyone having a hand in the disarming of the citizens of New Orleans. Yeah sheer fantasy I know.; August 6, 2011 at 7:07 AM
Mark Matis said...: "Prosecutorial misconduct", you say?

Now THERE is a real surprise!; August 6, 2011 at 9:17 AM
bitter clinging Texan said...: It is amazing to me the shift in attitude towards law enforcement and the judicial system I have seen in my 33 years here on earth. When I was a teenager, most people thought of cops as good, brave sheepdogs in general, with the exception of blacks and hispanics living in poor inner city areas. Those people have always had a general disdain and distrust of law enforcement. Fast FOrward to 2011, and you will see a large percentage of middle age, middle class white people who's attitude toward the police and the courts that would be at home on a gangsta rap album. Hell, I wouldnt be surprised if there wasnt a country& western remake of the old NWA song "fuck tha police". I wonder if this change in attitude is due to the police and judiciary getting worse about violating peoples rights, or is it the result of technology and connectivity getting better at exposing it?; August 6, 2011 at 11:34 AM
Clarion Content said...: BC Texan- It is an interesting question you raise. I think it has something to do with American drug culture too. After the 60's, in the minds of many casual drug users, the police became associated with the Man coming down on a good time. They retained this anti-police attitude long after they quit turning on, tuning in and dropping out.; August 6, 2011 at 6:25 PM
Mark Matis said...: Clarion Content:
To that I would add, "and rightly so". Even for those of us who DID NOT "turn on, tune in, and drop out."; August 7, 2011 at 12:57 PM
Bad Cyborg said...: Clarion Content & bcTexan, I would respectfully have to disagree with both of you. I believe that the majority of the populous continues to think of the police as " good, brave sheepdogs in general". I do not believe that more than a few (approx. 13%?) of We the People believe anything negative about the police - or ANY arm of the government for that matter! Those same people swallow whole everything the MSM puts out and think that folks like us are the wackos and the ones to be watched.

I would love to be proven wrong. But I do not expect to be.

Sidebar: People, we HAVE to get the word about Oath Keepers out to our active duty Armed Forces members. When I shake the hand of and thank the folks I meet who are in uniform for their service, I also ask that they at least LOOK at the 10 Orders. To date I have yet to encounter a service member who has ever of heard of the excellent Mr. Rhodes' site. I am convinced that the only possibility of a swift and merciful victory for liberty when the revolution comes is for a majority of active duty Armed Forces members to stand by their oaths. I am not saying that - without a majority of the Armed Forces honoring their oaths to the constitution - victory is not possible, only that without them it will take much, much longer and that the world as we know it may well pass away. I am convinced that unless the majority of service members are committed to the ideals of Oath Keepers HUNDREDS of MILLIONS (if not BILLIONS) will die world wide.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
