I hate to say it, but this is what Americans begged for because the TV convinced them drugs and crime were out of control. The original excuse for these tactics was that too many people were flushing drugs down the toilet when cops knocked on the door to execute a search warrant, so doors had to be kicked in during surprise raids. Now your door can be kicked in for not paying your overdue fees on library books.

And no one complained, because the TV also convinced them that civil rights only protected criminals, and that we needed to “get tough on crime” if we wanted to live in a civilized society. Now all of the real crime is committed by agents of the government, and you’re going to have to do the fighting if you ever want to live in a civilized society again.

But God save the almighty TV. Most Americans can’t imagine life without the thing, and they stare at it for hours every day just to make sure they remain brainwashed, never learn anything important, and can’t read anything more complicated than a comic book.

“Americans have long maintained that a man’s home is his castle and that he has the right to defend it from unlawful intruders. Unfortunately, that right may be disappearing.”

Screw that! It’s already disappeared. Americans don’t own their homes anymore. The banks and the homeowners associations do and it’s their castle and according to them, he has NO RIGHT to defend it from unlawful intruders and can enter or take it from him at any time. Hence, the forced evictions by military police and so on, even if you are dying of cancer. It’s a sick and sad world.

“And they have resulted in dozens of needless deaths and injuries, not only of drug offenders, but also of police officers, children, bystanders, and innocent suspects.”

There was a time, maybe back in the ’80′s, that I was totally behind the various police departments, there to serve and protect law abiding citizens.

Now, when I hear of one going down “in the line of duty”, there’s a sense of satisfaction. A SWAT team member is icing on the cake.

I’m waiting for the day when a whole SWAT team is ambushed and taken out by a couple of innocent Constitutionalists who are defending their property with righteous might and tactical savvy.
