Notes from the Resistance
The final night of a five-week citizens academy produced by the DEA St. Louis Division included a simulated “shoot – don’t shoot” scenario. “It takes literally a quarter of a second to get shot,” said Laura Bethany Strong, a St. Louis area resident after completing the simulation. [More]
And Laura doesn’t have a problem with someone who would do that being the only one with a choice?

These types of anti-government beliefs, according to the New Zealand newspaper Waikato Times, violate the “fit and proper person” clause as defined by New Zealand law, which is a requirement for anyone who applies for or possesses a firearm license. The New Zealanders who allegedly harbored anti-government views were discovered though a national intelligence operation known as “Operation Belfast,” which targeted ordinary citizens and was orchestrated by New Zealand police.

Hey, they’re “just following orders.”
The fact that you want a gun to protect your sovereignty is all the proof we bneed to keep you from having one.
Besides, what sovereignty?

Sad, but I’m more concerned that they turn such as these loose among the general public, and find it hard to believe no one knew something was off.
The buyback was held at the Church of Love Faith Center on Exchange Street in Rochester, with over a hundred people waiting in line to surrender their firearms. It was organized as a way for community members to safely discard of their guns, with no questions asked. [More]
Like “Is it yours?”
The key word is “surrender.”
Can you imagine being “Leadership Award” winner Lieutenant Michael Ciulla and acting like this is anything more than an “ineffective” propaganda event?

A forklift stolen from a Wendy’s construction site was used to steal the ATM from a Fifth Third Bank, the North Canton Police Department confirmed. NCPD said they got a call from Fifth Third Bank Security on the theft at 4:03 a.m. on Oct. 15. [More]
They had to call? It didn’t set off an alarm?
Because Google Maps shows a straight shot from the station to the bank that would have taken two minutes that time of night.
Then again, does anyone really want the Canton Police coming by?
What happened to Bryan Malinowski is not an isolated incident. It is part of a growing pattern of KGB-style behavior by U.S. federal law enforcement agencies. Let me mention briefly just a few other cases. [More]
It’s not fair to judge them until you’ve goose-stepped a mile in their jackboots.

Shall we see if this stays up?

Appeals Court rules state must return $225K seized from California man during Brandon traffic stop [More]
Will he be compensated for the time and money he has spent fighting this?
And what will it personally cost the government thieves?
Here’s the way the JBTs describe it:
Asset forfeiture is a powerful tool used by law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, against criminals and criminal organizations to deprive them of their ill-gotten gains through seizure of these assets.
“Criminals.” That sure implies they’ve been tried, found guilty, and sentenced, doesn’t it?
Someone with a better historical understanding help me out here: I found, on the Hawaii Criminal Justice Division’s page of all places, the claim that “The first statute authorizing civil forfeiture was enacted by Congress in 1789 as a sanction for the use of ships in customs violations. (Act of July 31, 1789, Sections 12, 36; 1 Stat. 39, 47.)”
If anybody has time to dig into this right now, does it say anything about them being tried and convicted first? I’m wondering if a Bruen style “text, history,. and tradition at the time of ratification” argument could be made.
