jay walking.. that's the crime..


there's something wrong with a world that doesn't resist.

so? i get a fine when I drive 2 miles too fast then the speedlimit.. its not horrible but should we just let it go?.. and besides.. if you go jaywalking when you see that cop car like that then you a clearly provoking it..



protecting us from ourselves is not the role of government. protection from government is the role of government.

They jaywalked. He called them over, and they blew him off and tried to walk away. He goes over and drags the older girl back. She throws a fit, and he decides to put her in cuffs. Then her friend comes in and starts grabbing at him.

I remind you, police officers carry guns. If you start grabbing at someone who has a gun, when he's already dealing with someone acting aggressively, being punched in the face is probably the best case scenario.

And no, the role of government isn't to protect us from ourselves. It's to protect us from each other.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.
