Wow.

I was taken aback by this sentence:

“On August 19, 1997, at about 2:30, New Hampshire state trooper Scott Phillips stopped Drega in the parking lot of LaPerle’s IGA supermarket in neighboring Colebrook for having too much rust on his pickup truck.”

Mr. Drega, a citizen of New Hampshire, took that state’s motto of “Live Free or Die” seriously.

I had not thought of Carl Drega in some time.

I wonder if prisoners in a Concentration camp would see the murder of a guard as a bad thing like the people outside the walls do? I am willing to bet that the prisoners hate that a man “went off” on guards, because they all believe they will make it out alive if they just follow orders. Carl Drega, you cannot call him a hero, but if there were thousands of these acts a month, the government would back down and we would all live a closer existence with true Liberty.

It is like with the IRS, people continue to obey the commands of the government on a graduated income tax. They prefer the false truth that it is need as opposed to THE truth that it is a control mechanism.
