Now you're talking. let's eliminate the police force, give everyone a gun
and let order find itself instead of forcing a false order. Now i don't
have any criticism of police--they do their job well--but the waysin which
they are used bothers me. Without the governmetnt misusing the police,
personal liberties would be returned, criminals would face the angry mobs,
and law abiding citizens would not feel helpless towards the criminal
elements--i know in this state, if you shoot an assailant when your life
is not in danger(the criminal isn't shooting or stabbing at you or holding
his weapon in your face) you become a felon. who is the vict? who is the
criminal?
