I wonder how many times they have done this? and to what groups? Those who would have no willingness to fight back?
Yea the day will come when the banks seize assets like they did in Cyprus.
We have guns, and it won’t be pretty.
The concept of mens rea has essentially been trashed: ignorance of the law is no excuse
and such.

Well up until about 2007 we were doing great. But I have all of my family in the area with elderly parents also so leaving is out of the question.
No, the "reason" there are no criminal charges is that the powers that be told the Police Chief to stand down.
He has a criminal record (no I am not kidding) and he owes a lot of money to many people in the area (including me) I would wager he is into the FNB for a sizable amount also.
He got the job because our former Chief was told if he went away quietly they wouldn't bring charges against him for dealing and possession. This happened about the same time city water workers were caught giving free water to customers who would supply them with Oxy and Percs.
Its tangled mess here and its a safe bet the mayor and the chief of police were told by the bank to back off being the city is treading water financially and there is talk that accounts at the bank don't have the proper amounts of cash in them. (there have been several audits and each time we get a new auditor and the key people in the government end up "retiring" early.)
It’s not a burglary, but it is a larceny, at least at common law.
I, probably like a good number of the folks on FR, have had conversations with folks about what its going to take. The conversations have, at times, turned to armed revolution/civil war type stuff. I’m as sick as anyone about what is going on, but I’m not with that. But, it may come to that.
But.....if it did, who fights who? Yes, there will be the government/LE/military types that will be asked to squash anything. But, what happens if some of them walk off the job(ie NOPD during Katrina who took care of their families)? What if some of them agree with the people instead of their masters in government? Then things turn. What happens when they find themselves outnumbered or facing a group of citizens that are better trained and more proficient, as so many of our vets are? So, taking them out of the equation, who’s next?
The politicians...the radical college professors...the radical union officials...the radical school board officials. All the people that no one paid attention to for so long and now they’re running shit and its all FUBAR.
Just putting it out there.
If what you say is true, and I have no reason to doubt you, it is just sickening how fucked up our society has become.
Years ago, I worked on a fugitive unit for a PD in Georgia. One of the responsibilities was to do pick-ups when another jurisdiction arrested a fugitive. I drive out, into the boondocks to pick the kid up. He was accused of what he was accused of(I learned that many people get locked up on BS charges all the time), anywho. He was very respectful and cooperative.
On the way out of town he explained to me and my partner that all the drugs in the county were supplied by the sheriff. Found out later, after a phone call or two, that the sheriff got interviewed by the GBI and DEA about a pot field in his county. He explained that he used it to train his drug K9’s.
This country is so messed up.
