Police State

DHS justifies ammo purchases.

""With more than 100,000 armed law enforcement personnel in DHS, significant quantities of ammunition are used to support law enforcement operations, quarterly qualifications, and training, to include advanced firearms training exercises," Boogaard told Whispers."

How about we cut those number of agents down by 90 percent or so.

In another example of how government drags civilization backwards, Russian agents switch to typewriters to avoid NSA spying.

Judicial lawlessness against George Zimmerman.

"Speculation is raging that the judge in the George Zimmerman case could have been put under pressure by the Obama administration after she staged a bizarre outburst during which she interrogated Zimmerman while repeatedly silencing his lawyers.
…

The hostile exchange began when Judge Debra Nelson asked Zimmerman if he planned to testify.

Essentially, Judge Nelson told Zimmerman he had the “absolute right to remain silent” but then proceeded to demand he answer her questions interrogation-style while silencing his lawyers.

Defense attorney Don West twice objected to Nelson’s interrogation, prompting the judge to raised her voice and exclaim, “Your objection is overruled!” in a manner more befitting of an angry parent lecturing a child than a legal professional.

Both of Zimmerman’s lawyers appeared shocked as attorney Mark O’Mara asked under his breath, “what is going on?”

Several legal experts and observers said the outburst was unprecedented."

That's bizarre. It seems it was designed to make Zimmerman look bad in front of the jury. From the linked infowars article:

"It also emerged this week that the federal government encouraged and funded last year’s protests demanding the arrest of Zimmerman via the Community Relations Service, a division of the Department of Justice. Documents obtained by Judicial Watch show that the CRS was “deployed to Sanford, FL, following the Trayvon Martin shooting to help organize and manage rallies and protests against George Zimmerman,” spending millions of dollars in the process."

The government is like a puppet master, running every evil plan in the country.

Jury acquits Zimmerman. Analysis.

"But legal analysts say they were not surprised because the prosecution did not prove its case. "The prosecution had no clear narrative, witnesses that appeared poorly prepared, and at the end of the day, this is more of a loss by the prosecution than a win by the defense," said criminal attorney Darren Kavinoky."

If prosecutors didn't prove their case, the jury did the right thing.

"However, despite now being a free man, Jose Baez, a Florida criminal defense attorney, said Zimmerman will likely go into hiding and be unable to live a normal life for some time.
"The end is not near for George Zimmerman," he said."

Isn't that Casey Anthony's attorney? He knows something about his client having to go into hiding. I think all these predictions of nationwide riots are overblown. There might be some small protests, but I don't predict any nationwide violence.

It's sad that people believe the not guilty verdict was the failure of the system. The failure of our justice system is it convicts innocent people all the time, not vice-versa.This seems like one of the few cases when the system worked. I said the same about Casey Anthony. The job of a jury is to judge the prosecutor's case, not to judge the defendant. I wish more juries understood that.

Black leaders are unhappy.

"The NAACP's Jealous, who had spent time in Sanford shortly after Trayvon was killed urging prosecution of his killer, also said he will pursue other legal avenues. "The good news is that now we have other options," he said. "Both civil and criminal avenues. We will encourage the Department of Justice to pursue a criminal civil rights case against Mr. Zimmerman for violating Trayvon Martin's rights when he killed him.""

That sounds like double jeopardy to me.

State Attorney and Zimmerman prosecutor fires IT director for testifying that the prosecutor withheld evidence from the defense.

"His attorney Wesley White — who resigned from the State Attorney’s Office in December and is a critic of Corey — said the firing was aimed at sending a message to office employees “that if they feel like there is wrongdoing,” they should not disclose it or seek legal guidance from a private attorney.
“If they do speak to an attorney, then they are dead,” he said. “The State Attorney’s Office will do whatever is necessary to not only terminate them, but destroy their reputations in the process.”"

"White then contacted one of Zimmerman’s attorneys and learned the defense had not received the report generated by Kruidbos. The defense did receive the source file from the cellphone and used its own experts to extract data."

He should have asked his boss before going to an outside attorney.

Walter Block understands there is no right to privacy.

"In short, as in the case of the “human right” to free speech, there is no such thing as a right to privacy except the right to protect one’s property from invasion. The only right “to privacy” is the right to protect one’s property from being invaded by someone else. In brief, no one has the right to burgle someone else’s home, or to wiretap someone’s phone lines. Wiretapping is properly a crime not because of some vague and woolly “invasion of a ‘right to privacy’,” but because it is an invasion of the property right of the person being wiretapped."

Well said.

Bastiat's The Law.

This is why the police state evolved.

"The police are committing actual crimes against innocent civilians to enforce laws against non-crimes! That is what “The Law” means now in Amerika. Another reason why statutes and legislated “laws” are not law, but nothing but a bunch of crap. Just an excuse to give power-hungry neanderthals the power to commit acts of aggression against innocent human beings and get away with it."

That's why we should adopt law based on the non-aggression principle and ordered by property rights.
