Those "good folks" in D.C. sure seem eager to pass edicts on the rest of America...

Oh, wait, that would be the Tasseled Loafer Thug Brigade. "Good folks" don't get elected to public office.

For the record, I'm all for the SENSIBLE use of police power. This wasn't an example of sensible use.

If she broke the law, it still wasn't necessary to jail her, at taxpayer expense no less. That ten buck fine cost YOU AND ME some money.

And nobody in their right mind likes the phrase, "nanny state". People that do like it, like to be controlled by empty suits in a far-away land of fantasy, somewhere on the east coast.

"She knew the law and she was a smart mouth. Let her rot in jail."

I bet there was some people who had bad thoughts towards that officer, too, as they saw him arresting her.

They're committing thoughtcrime and I hope they rot in jail, too.

How DARE anyone speak up to a Government official!

Ed she did not think the candy bar. She had one. The Metro officer did not think that it was in her hand. It was.

Stick to reality Libertarian.

"Ed she did not think the candy bar. She had one."

She didn't think the candy bar?

Is that some sort of koan, or something? I think, therefore I am...I think the candy bar, therefore it is?

"Stick to reality Libertarian."

Heh heh, wow, first time I've ever been called a libertarian!

I believe homosexual acts should be outlawed, I believe pornography should be outlawed, I believe adultery should be outlawed, I believe divorce should be extremely hard to get, awarded only after producing evidence of adultery or abuse, and I definitely believe in national forests and national parks, along with roads, bridges and highways, should all be held and built for the common good, by the people as a whole.

That's makes me almost a direct opposite of libertarian.

I AM, however, totally against cops tasering people for speaking up to them, assaulting them without reason, just to intimidate them, as I am also against searches of private property without warrants, and roadblocks and traffic stops without Probable Cause.

Ed
