Losing touch with truth leads to this kind of crap.

Which is a kind of slow hypnotic suggestion.

This basically looks like a combination of hypnotism and manipulation.

It’s unlikely a Freep minded person would succumb. Too much rebellion within.

The trap is for ne’er do well personalities, those far more easily swayed without that spark of rebellious conscience.

[The trap is for ne’er do well personalities, those far more easily swayed without that spark of rebellious conscience.]

And they’re less likely to be sympathetic too. The whole thing is Machiavellian. The galling truth is that we may never truly know who some offenders were, this side of heaven. It’s a sad conservatism that doesn’t try to conserve truth.

Worldly police can at best catch the worst cases. This is another reason RKBA is wise. It keeps the solution closer to the problem.

“...simply refusing to believe anything another Freeper says unless it agrees with their predetermined conclusions.”

Are they talking about this blog?

I know this all too well. I called in about a homeless person passed out on the sidewalk one winter night. Minnecraponus police tried to turn me into a suspect. After that, I decided never to call 911 again as long as I lived in Minnestoopid.

The best defense to this technique is never, ever talk to the police without your lawyer present. And you lawyer will advise you not to make a statement.

Lawyers cost money, and serious charges can bankrupt you, innocence notwithstanding.
