6.  CONSIDER THE POOR CITIZEN

Is the Constitution of the united States actually the supreme law of the
land? If not, why are all oaths of office specifically to defend that
Constitution?

Are you truly innocent until proven guilty?

Does a law-abiding, hard-working citizen have the absolute, uninfringed
right to protect himself and his beloved family while inside his own
dwelling? Jim and Sarah, as well as a "million" Mothers, say
"no."

Consider the poor citizen: Ronald Dixon, twenty-seven, a Navy veteran who
works two jobs, doing computer work at Carnegie Hall and a Wall Street firm
on weekends, of Canarsie New York shot and wounded Ivan Thompson, forty, of
790 Eldert Lane, East New York, just before eight A.M. inside his family's
Schenck Street home after he was awakened by a loud noise and saw in his
bedroom mirror the reflection of a man illegally in the hallway near the
bedroom where his innocent eighteen-month-old son Kyle was sleeping.

While his courageous wife, Tricia Best, twenty-seven, frantically dialed
nine-one-one, Dixon drew a nine millimeter Ruger defensive pistol from his
closet and justifiably confronted the man, who by then was illegally
rifling through drawers in the harmless child's bedroom. Pressed for an
explanation, Ivan Thompson tried to scare Dixon by pretending he was sent
upstairs by accomplices searching for valuables downstairs, mercenary
proxy-guardian "police," who were, as usual, impotent to prevent
it said.

When it became apparent Dixon was standing his ground, Thompson illegally
advanced toward Dixon, who justifiably fired at least twice, striking
Thompson once in the chest and once in the groin. Thompson, a career
burglar with a fourteen-page rap sheet, who has nineteen previous arrests,
and who's on parole until 2004 for a burglary conviction, tumbled down the
stairs, then got up and fled before collapsing outside the house. He was
rushed to Brookdale
University Hospital Medical Center, was listed in critical but stable
condition, and is unfortunately expected to survive.

Dixon bought the defensive firearm legally in Florida, but was charged with
criminal possession of a weapon because the defensive firearm isn't yet
unconstitutionally registered in the evil social fascist oligarchy of New
York, although the law-abiding Dixon had conscientiously filed the
necessary paperwork to do so, paying a firm specializing in expediting
applications for legal defensive firearm permits in New York City. The
company respectfully took his money, happily cashed the check - and then
went out of business.

Evil social fascist Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes, whose
unconstitutional, mercenary "Turn it in for Benjamin"
"buyback" program embarrassingly crashed in flames when the only
people to turn in firearms were all the court officers rushing to turn in
their rusty revolvers in favor of high-capacity Glock self-loaders, wants
Dixon to serve a year at the jail on Rikers Island, the very same jail
Thompson is incarcerated at, thus conforming to Rabbi ben Levi's axiom in
failing to distinguish between the illegal gunplay of drug dealers and an
honest man justifiably protecting his home.

Hynes' smarmy spokesman Jerry Schmetterer coos, "There is no question
he had the right to shoot the burglar [illegally] in his house, but he had
no [Constitutional] right to have a weapon." Nullum crimen sine poena
- no "crime" must remain without punishment, whether the law
explicitly provides for it or not.

Don Bennett of Oak Park Illinois was arrested after resorting to using a
legal defensive firearm to protect himself during a robbery in which twelve
hundred dollars worth of cash and jewels were illegally stolen from him.

Ronald Biggs of Goldsboro North Carolina was arrested and charged with a
felony, assault with a deadly weapon, after a break-and-enter in the night
at his residence. The threats illegally ransacked the house and assaulted
him with a baseball bat. They were only charged with misdemeanors.

Don Campbell of Port Huron Michigan was arrested, jailed, and criminally
charged after being illegally assaulted in his store.

Thirty-one-year-old James Hill of Durham North Carolina is facing murder
charges after legally defensively shooting a burglar in his own front yard
after being violently assaulted with what was probably a brick.

On February eighteenth 2003 in Queens New York, an airman, Manuel Falquez,
twenty-two, justifiably shot a threat with an unregistered
thirty-eight-caliber revolver illegally breaking into the living-room
balcony of the third-floor apartment of his mother, who'd recently won a
one hundred thousand dollar lottery payout. Falquez drew a defensive
nine-millimeter pistol and righteously ordered the intruder to drop his
illegal weapon, and justifiably shot the threat once in the head when he
obstinately refused to disarm himself. A spokesman for Queens District
Attorney Richard Brown said Falquez would be charged with criminal
possession of a weapon. That goes beyond the definition of obscene; it's
the very embodiment of the tyranny our
forefathers died to destroy.

In December 2002 in Long Island New York, Mark Freamon justifiably fired on
an illegal home invader. Not charged for justly shooting the predatory
criminal, Mark was nonetheless charged with mala prohibita weapons
violations. In August 2002, a jury of his "peers," extremist
victim disarmers all, convicted Tony Knighten of Philadelphia Pennsylvania
"of firing a [defensive firearm] he was not licensed to carry" in
self-protection.

In 1996 in the evil social fascist oligarchy Maryland, Theron Richardson
witnessed a neighbor being illegally strangled. As his wife frantically
dialed nine-one-one, Theron, perhaps recalling the fate of innocent Kitty
Genovese, courageously went to help - but, perhaps recalling the kindly
treatment Maryland "law-enforcement" offers its unorganized
Militia members, he first prudently unloaded his defensive firearm, then
confronted the predatory criminals. No matter, arrested and handcuffed,
brave Theron was unceremoniously
tossed into the same paddy wagon as the predatory criminals!

In 1994 in Washington D. C., "Becky" successfully protected both
her life and that of her innocent daughters after a pair of predatory
criminals equipped with knives, gasoline, ski masks and duct tape (they
could have been from the office of Homeland "Security") tied one
of her precious daughters. After a fierce struggle for the illegal knife,
tumbling down the stairs, "Becky" justifiably shot one of the
predatory criminals. But this was in Washington D.C., where only your
servants, the elected politicians, their aides, secretaries, drivers and
bartenders are legally allowed the Constitutional right to protect
themselves - not you. The list is endless.

The fact is, this nation has already been effectively disarmed and
politically overthrown by evil social fascism, a far cry from the
independent thinkers who founded this nation, saying, as John Adams did,
"Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and
murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit
suicide. The jaws of power are always open to devour, and her arm is always
stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking,
and writing. Liberty cannot be preserved without
a general knowledge among the People, who have... a right, an indisputable,
unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied
kind of knowledge, I mean the characters and conduct of their rulers. There
is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free 'government' ought to be
to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty. Liberty
cannot be preserved without general knowledge among people."

An extremely traumatic event occurs when, after you've just succeeded in
remaining alive despite overwhelming odds and

1) Your primal response is one of, "That guy just tried to kill me but
I'm still alive! I must have done something right!" and

2) The "official" response to your life-preserving action is,
"Get on the ground, scumbag! You're under arrest!" and

3) The tool you just used to preserve your very life, and now have a fond
regard for, is forcibly removed from you; you're, not gently, physically
restrained and handcuffed, then cruelly isolated by being tossed into a
cage dedicated to predatory criminals, with no contact with any
compassionate person who could calm and comfort you, a form of torture for
the specific purpose to psychologically defeat you when you're at your
lowest emotional point, impersonally "grilling" you, thereby
fostering further doubt and insidiously "planting" their version
of events which your information-starved brain regurgitates and solidifies
- permanently, through confabulation, so real you'll pass a lie-detector
test about it - into the "real" way it happened. You'll live with
the image of that terrible moment burned into your soul, but no one can
bear the burden but you. But you're not going to get a union or
municipally-paid counselor to help you through this -you're on your own.

Why isn't there a national victim advocate system to pay the medical and
legal bills of honest unorganized Militia members illegally assaulted by
predatory criminals?

Why is there no "eight hundred" number you can dial at any hour
to get the required counseling for the psychological burden this lowlife
scumbag has illegally dumped on you?

For you, there'll be no powerful ceremony, no positively-reinforcing
societal ritual conferring a physical talisman bestowing confirmation to
you, your family, friends, neighbors and the public that you weren't the
bad guy, that you did something good and deserving of approval, praise and
adulation to their cheers and accompanying strains of "Fanfare for the
Common Man" by Aaron Copeland.

At this time you'll instead be reeling from the full weight of the certain
knowledge that Der State holds predatory criminals in higher regard than
you, since you're now impoverished and imprisoned, and the creepy bad guy -
Mister Bad Guy to you - is being represented for free by the best lawyers
that the Banana-head Brady Bunch can purchase with money supplied by every
Hollywood druggie/actor-singer alive and every social fascist talk show
host/reporter out there - and I do mean out there.

In spite of the fact that you're being held almost incommunicado and that
nearly every word that reaches your ears is a calculated lie, you still
feel guilt over winning the fight, because you're alive and he isn't, while
simultaneously feeling elation at the exact same thought.

Seems a little insane, doesn't it?

Due to stress, there'll be holes in your recollection, and you'll swear you
remember things happened that never did. This is the mental condition
you'll be in when the District Attorney, a long-time evil social fascist,
assaults your story with wild and absurd conjecture that a five-year-old
would never believe, but every evil social fascist Rosie-watching juror is
drooling over. He'll send your own lawyer in to you with a plea bargain to
lower the charges to something less. something that will result in less
than citizenship - and a criminal record guaranteeing you'll never carry
again!

Believe me, you don't want to become part of the probation and parole
population: arrogant mercenary proxy-guardian "police," parole,
and probation officers now boldly go into homes without search warrants as
a way of life for those unfortunates subject to parole or probation,
harassing and arbitrarily arresting and revoking their parole and probation
for the most asinine and unconstitutional reasons.

The most shocking and remarkable part of this travesty of justice is that
it isn't cruel and unusual: it's always been done this way - which, like
both segregation and abortion, certainly doesn't make it right. It simply
proves the words of Rabbi Shimon ben Levi, "All who act
compassionately in instances requiring cruelty ultimately become cruel in
instances requiring acts of compassion," the emotional corollary of
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation: "Every object in the universe
attracts every other object with a force directly
proportional to the product of their mass and inversely proportional to the
square of the distance between them."

In certain situations, when the obvious perpetrator is what the
disinformation media euphemistically refers to as "unclear," such
as a "he said, she said" outside the family home, or the infamous
Lautenberg scenario inside the home, discretion should be the better part
of valor, and bracelets are in order, but in any clearly delineated
circumstance where those happily "released" into society by the
evil social fascist elite, who, of course, know much better what's good for
us, like Massachusetts governor Michael "Mucko" Dukakis and
Massachusetts (again!) judge Maria Lopez results in the well-regulated
unorganized Militia member scoring one to the perpetrator's zero, the sheer
weight of circumstance ought to plainly dictate that not only will Harry
Homeowner not immediately rush right out and blast every living soul within
sight, but probably won't consider a repeat performance of his previous
engagement.

Why are law-abiding, hardworking citizens found in such exceptional
circumstances not given the benefit of the doubt?

Because, as Jim and Sara constantly tell us, we're not to be trusted!

How will you react when it happens to you?
