I don't believe it is as widespread as reported and I don't believe most people charged with it are guilty. It is just impossible to disprove.

Arrested, not convicted. Although they're starting with murder and rape (after all, to be accused and arrested now means guilty until, or even if, found innocent) they are going to phase in more felonies over a 10 year period. They are increasing penalties for "assaulting an officer" too. A charge that commonly accompanies protesters who are arrested.<br /><br />Add to that, a New York judge recently ruled that tasers could be employed to stun a suspect in order to get...a DNA sample.<br /><br />http://www.buffalonews.com/home/story/692141.html<br /><br />Something for all domestic terrorists to consider before they go out and get themselves arrested for protesting, hm?<br /><br />Once they get this DNA database underway our concern with phone eavesdropping will seem so quaint, won't it?Zeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604414.post-26889178985077182022009-06-19T10:43:36.611-04:002009-06-19T10:43:36.611-04:00Joseph, thanks for the links to these stories.

(And I'm sure you noted that the first comment in the Smirking Chimp thread was from an Obot claiming that the Lightbring is treading a very careful and "intelligent" path and that the poster of that column should "shut the fuck up.")<br /><br />I used to wonder how in Hell the gummint got away with all the new plans to "deal" with protesters. Under the guise of the Patriot Act, they kept developing weapons to deal with "crowd control." Didn't anyone ask what kind of "terrorists" come in crowds? American citizens protesting. All those stun guns and other "nonlethal" weapons would probably cause an uproar if it came out that they were tested on animals. But as it turns out, they probably were just tested on humans, such as the unfortunate girl killed by a taser in Boston after the Red Sox won.<br /><br />Incidentally, it was the buffer zone given to women entering abortion clinics, to keep the antichoice protesters at bay, which paved the way to those ridiculous "free speech zones." <br /><br />Oh, and I think the child porn angle is irrelevant. Why would they need to plant such a story? I think you are over-estimating the care an aging zealot would take to cover his tracks. His impulses and passions obviously overwhelm any meticulous attention to detail.Zeenoreply@blogger.com
