Neither I nor anyone made that claim.
You statists are the ones doing just the opposite: equating free speech with burning things.
Your numbers are wrong
No. They are correct. There was an article posted here the other day to that effect.
How exactly do you propose that the police go about not arresting individuals who are going to have their cases dismissed? Should these guys have gotten trials before they were arrested? Judging the police's competency based on successful convictions is just stupid.
The attitude of the many members of NKVD was to apparently to arrest first, then distort the evidence as they saw fit to achieve a convinction. Fortunately, many private citizens had their own video cameras to set the record straight.
I can't find the thread here, but here is the article over on ar15.com:
Hopefully the Patriots on the MM project are all carrying video cameras to prevent something like this happening there.
Granted, the Border Patrol ground agents are probably mostly good guys (much moreso than NKVD NYPD), but I wouldn't put it past the bastards in DC to send in a "special unit" to harass and arrest the MM on trumped up charges.
We gripe about technology in the hands of the state being used against us peasants, but this is clearly one case where the alternative is true. Private citizens utilized technology to defend themselves against false charges.
