(tale of dawn raid, seizure, etc. elided)
We're living in a police state. A terror state.
I have a lot more than this at my house. But, I may be safe since I don't
look like a Mexican or Filipino gang member.
I did get a threatening phone call from a Santa Cruz County Sheriff's
Deputy, based on some opinions I expressed on Usenet about the need for
self-defense. I've recounted parts of this story at various times, so I
won't again now.
These no-knock dawn raids are becoming de rigeur. I'm surprised Jim Bell
was raided at the late hour of 9 a.m. I'm also somewhat surprised there was
no gunfire at his house.
I don't hope to martyr myself, but if black-clad ninjas burst through my
door I assume they're asking for 60 rounds of 5.56 to be emptied into their
asses. Those Babykilling (TM), Aryan (TM) Evil Assault Weapons (TM) have
their uses. Fucking fascist country we live in.
The law is an ass, and modern cops are its assholes.
