We brought this all upon ourselves, My FRiend. How you ask? Well, to begin with, we were led to believe that , under the guise of city councils, zoning boards, homeowner associations, etal. we could control the "other guy". What was not said was, to the "other guy" you[genetically speaking] are the "other guy". The end result was that "you" have no rights. Only the rich and powerful now have rights. "You" now have privileges, granted at the whim of said organizations mentioned above.

The same holds true law enforcement wise. The "We got to get tough with these criminals" has evolved to the point that, in the view of the police, there are now two classes of criminals: Those we have caught and those we haven't caught yet.

In a tyranny, everyone is a criminal, except the government or anyone who works for the government or is part of the government.

Originally, Free Republic was a big Law and Order board, seeking to have Bill Clinton and his lawless cronies subjected to the Rule of Law.

Many FReepers are still big Law and Order types, but what I took away from the experience is that there are two kinds of law in America:

Peasant law and Royal law.

This post is a great example of "peasant law". The Royal Blue-clad enforcers sail in, and invent a charge so they can abduct the guy under color of "law". Then, he "resists" (by way of the fat bacon Blimps chanting "The Magic Words"), so they can get him with a "peasant felony".

A couple of examples of "Royal law":

Bill Clinton commit perjury in the face of a federal judge. No worries, mate!

Jon Corzine steals a couple of billion dollars. He's connected. Again, no worries!

Meanwhile, on Free Republic, Law and Order guy Mr Ramsbotham "thinks" that peasant Mark Adams "felony resisted".

Lore and Ordure, Merkun style...
