Perhaps you ought to go post on Democrat Underground.
One of the primary duties of government is to prevent the theft of the property of it's citizens.
In this and many other cases recently the government not only failed in it's respociblilty but actually sided with the criminal and forced the law abiding to take expensive and time consuming action to fix what the government broke.
If you think that preventing and prosecuting theft is somehow "totalitarian" you should be posting from an insane asylum.
Or perhaps like all communists you think "private property is theft".
