If there was a fight that FReeper would be summarily executed in his or her home, and the usual chorus here would say “they had it coming when they resisted” and even get off a few witticisms about it, not missing the comedy value and all.
I read the linked account of supposedly heavy-handed over-reaching government behavior - I don’t see any big grievance here - after all, they didn’t shoot Raub’s dog or his mother.
They’re just servants of the People, doing the bidding of the People’s representatives, in patient expectation of a secure and golden pension.
