You think you can "move freely" through Freaknik?

You might want to educate yourself about these events so you don't look so ignorant.

By my third one, I closed my business for the weekend and left town. Finally convicted felon mayor Bill Campbell was forced to crack down on his brothers and tell them they weren't welcome in ATL anymore.

I know as much about “these events” as you do.

I’ve also experienced people trying to close off public streets that I pay for to “residents only.”

What you don’t seem to get is that everyone gets caught in that net. You’re not just denying access to criminals; you’re convicting me of a crime that isn’t — going where I want to go — and you’re doing it without due process.

This is how fascism takes hold — people don’t realize the sword cuts both ways, and any law you embrace can just as easily be used against you.

Social unrest is best dealt with by enforcing existing laws against rioting, theft, drunkenness, etc. Not building a wall to keep everyone out.
