“Whether or not it is a criminal offense is up to whatever remains of our “justice” system.”
That’s not what you said. You said it was a crime, which is incorrect.
That said, I have much sympathy for your position, as I despise these guys.
But I would rather have a bunch of fake heros than a Ministry of Truth run by Obama.
Everything else is rampant do-gooderism, Nanny State crap, or outright Police State tactics.
Again, just my two cents and worth the electrons they are printed with.
