The police told Doug that in Massachusetts, no one has the right to use a gun in self defense unless they are police officer.

Sounds like BS to me. Clearly not correct.

Not so sure, the thug was a deputy sheriff (on disability). Kops in Massachusetts are awfully chummy. And if the arresting officers were Boston P.D. there is an excellent chance there was a racial element to it also. (The thug shook hands with Johnnie Cochran). Add to that an "O. J. (racially blinded) jury and...

...it makes way too much sense to me.

It is just the kind of story that the LSM won't touch with a barge pole. It happens all the time, but it has to be sitting out in the middle of the room, stinking the joint up, like the O. J. case before anyone in the LSM even admits they might just smell something.

This principle goes back to when all people were property of the King.

Anytime two of his subjects strove, both were punished for injuring or potentially injuring the King's property.

The same held true for slaves.

For the most part, the American people have gleefully given up the rights that our forefathers suffered and died for for the false security of big brother government.

The 300 pound thug went on with his life unscathed. It turns out the guy is a Suffolk County (Boston) Deputy Sheriff who had been out for three years on a disability

This explains everything......

Cops always give each other the benefit of the doubt.

Unfortunately they do not always deserve it.

Well since most judges started as lawyers, I say start with the lawyers and work our way up.

Psst! Judges ARE lawyers!

And come to think of it ---- WHO writes these laws? LAWYERS! Many who are illegally holding office in the Legislative Branch (and some Executive Branch) contrary to our Constitution mandates for the SEPERATION of POWERS!

Lawyers are 'officers of the court' - part of the Judicial Branch of govt.

They are traitorously breaking the law of this country as set forth in the Constitution of the United States of America.

Agreed. Reads agenda-driven.

Every case, and every news report on them, here, is agenda driven. I swer they run from "real" trouble.

The problem is not with lawyers or judges, per se, it is with the legal system. We no longer have a system based upon the pursuit of justice, but a legal system burried in prescedent....

Ah,my friend, your comment reminds me of an antidote re: Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., one of the great CJ of the SCOTUS.

A fellow SC judge had come to call. When pleasant visit was over the judge, as a parting farewell said, "Don't forget to do justice."

Holmes immediately bolted down his front steps and caught up with the man's carriage as it was slowly pulling away.The carriage stopped.

"No,sir!!" cried Holmes,confronting the startled man. "No,sir! It is not our duty to do justice. It is our duty to up hold the law!"

That is why our courts are referred to as "Courts of Law", not "Courts of Justice". And that, IMHO, is how we have ended up as we are today. Judges have chosen to decree/enforce/decide on the side of "Justice" -- justice as they perceive it, e.g. "civil rights","homosexual rights", et. al.

As to the courts being Courts of Law. Well, apparently "The Law be damned. Let 'Justice' triumph, even though the Heavens should tumble."

And that's why a (failed) suicide got you thrown in the slammer. Or, if successful, stopped your family/heirs from collecting one single penny of your estate. *

*Though it must be said that in many,many cases the crown winked at this esp. when the heirs would be left destitute.
