(53,661 posts)The one with the best aim and the fastest aim, will live to tell the tale. In that legal system, shoot outs are okay. Ambushes are frowned upon but only if they don't work. And the news *must be lying,* since *no one* killed themselves with their gun in the old western movies, did they?
That would show that he was a coward and didn't *stand his ground* with himself like he *should.* Which is where these guys got their ideas of how to govern the place.
And for sure those were all *private* emergency vehicles, since *public* ones cost taxes, and that's *tyranny.* Somalia and other Libertarian paradises is what is being enacted here. And they were cheering the 2012 GOP debates that anyone without means should die, because it's *socialism* to support being a Good Samaritarian.
This is the road to tribalism, which is only tyranny *if* you aren't as ruthless and heavily armed as criminal gangs, warlords and the filthy rich with their paid security. Not like any of us didn't see this coming:
Rand Paul feels safe, he has his own private security...
Despite my feeble attempt at above, I feel bad for the honest people working and trying to do their jobs and support their families in that area. But for this guy and those who promote this, none at all.
It's a fearful thing when we consider what the next generation will living with, since the propaganda is so pervasive that the Koch ALEC agenda is the only thing being heard and it stifles everyone's ability to call for a return to sanity. This is going to get a lot worse before anyone in that area dares to speak against the NRA, ALEC lobby.
After a while, *no one* will speak up for the freedom to work and live without a constant threat of violence. They will, like millions in history before them, *adapt* to hunkering down and do as the local demagogue tell them to live. The Paultaliban will be firmly in place.
This is what is expected in oligarchies where *Might Makes Right.* The majority will submit to this. They have no choice because they can't afford to resist and will live at the leisure of those with more wealth, as the government will bow out and let them. After all, that is their *2A solution,* that the citizens voted in.
Ironic it was all in the name of *freedom and liberty.* We've lost the ability to govern ourselves, obviously.
