Not until he fires it. Until then he (she if equal opportunity applies) no one knows. Each was prepared to do it. Luck of the draw, as it were.

If we can figure out a way to do that with no pain, it removes a good deal of the political opposition and undermining of the laws from the left.

It's all about "anarcho-tyranny":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_T._Francis#Anarcho-tyranny

Sam Francis wrote: What we have in this country today, then, is both anarchy (the failure of the state to enforce the laws) and, at the same time, tyranny – the enforcement of laws by the state for oppressive purposes; the criminalization of the law-abiding and innocent through exorbitant taxation, bureaucratic regulation, the invasion of privacy, and the engineering of social institutions, such as the family and local schools; the imposition of thought control through "sensitivity training" and multiculturalist curricula, "hate crime" laws, gun-control laws that punish or disarm otherwise law-abiding citizens but have no impact on violent criminals who get guns illegally, and a vast labyrinth of other measures. In a word, anarcho-tyranny.

And he also wrote: The laws that are enforced are either those that extend or entrench the power of the state and its allies and internal elites ... or else they are the laws that directly punish those recalcitrant and "pathological" elements in society who insist on behaving according to traditional norms – people who do not like to pay taxes, wear seat belts, or deliver their children to the mind-bending therapists who run the public schools; or the people who own and keep firearms, display or even wear the Confederate flag, put up Christmas trees, spank their children, and quote the Constitution or the Bible – not to mention dissident political figures who actually run for office and try to do something about mass immigration by Third World populations.

It's part of The Managerial State:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Managerial_state

It usually takes 25 years to off one of these sociopaths. That's because it benefits The Managers to frustrate the aggrieved peasants for so long (fear, control, etc.).

Now - kill one of The Managers, one of their loved ones, or one of their enforcers - it's AMAZING how the "machinery" speeds up...

The Managerial State is comprised of BOTH parties, not just the Left and/or the Democrat Party.

OK I’m a believer. He deserved the firing squad. If he was my brother I would have probably shot him myself.

The Bushes the Clintons , the Kennedys the Romney’s, the Cuomo’s, and that ilk may think that they are royalty, but they are not. I don’t elect based on family name.

To me people who do this are ignorant fans.
