We've become a police state, with the unwitting complicity of small-thinking ordinary citizens letting their fear rule -- "Lock 'em up and throw away the key; I just want to feel safe."Vollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514280952695776270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16594468.post-37461893369194622402008-11-11T21:47:00.000-07:002008-11-11T21:47:00.000-07:00It's probably to bring these types of court system...It's probably to bring these types of court systems to the US. It's a slippery slope. Kind of like how the police are hoodwinking the American public with tasers. Originally the tasers were brought in as a less lethal version of firearms. They were meant to be used in situations where firearms could be used, but clearly this is no longer the case. Tasers are now being used as a tool for torturous compiance, a famous example being the "Don't tase me bro" guy.<BR/><BR/>This means one of two things, either the officer who tased the man was using his taser unlawfully, OR the government is introducing us to a phase where firearms will be used for compliance.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for bringing my attention to these courts. I'm beginning to sound more and more like a conspiracy theorist these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
