Scituate Massechusetts Police Have “Full Military Operation” Over Senior Citizen Community Bonfire

It is really amazing how heavy-handed police forces across this country is becoming. No longer content with simply protecting and serving, apparently they prefer to place their jackboots on the throats of the very people that pay their salaries in increasingly intimidating fashion.

At Humarock Beach in Massachusetts some residents were attempting to enjoy their 4th of July bonfire. The jackboot authority of Scituate decided that it wasn’t safe. So before the bonfire could even be lit the jackboots came out with a bulldozer and State Police to snuff the party.

They arrested a number of people for disorderly conduct. Simply because of a disagreement over their ability to celebrate the 4th of July. See, there was a time when the police would come out and discuss the issue. But now they simply barge right in with authoritarian might.

Boston CBS Local has the story:

Nearly 100 people attended a meeting at the South Humarock Civic Association Clubhouse. At the meeting, some residents went so far as to call Scituate town officials “Fascists,” and say Humarock needs to break away.

The latest aggravation began earlier this month, when residents claim the town was heavy-handed in enforcing a ban on bonfires.

“That was a full military operation… I mean hummers up and down the beach, state police helicopters, horseback, bomb squad, [and] a command post up the center,” said Fred Hayden, who owns a summer home in Humarock…

“Every time they talk to you it’s in a threatening fashion,” long-time resident Emory Langlolies said during Sunday’s meeting.

Langlolies described his experience with law enforcement on the 3rd as overkill. He claims he was playing patriotic music when town officials marched onto his private property and unplugged his stereo. Langlolies says an officer then crushed the plug to keep him from starting the music again.

“They told my wife, ‘we’re going to come back to clean this mess up. We’re going to charge you $300 an hour and we’re going to take our time doing it,’” Langlolies recounted.

“What’s occurring down here is a slow deterioration of our constitutional rights,” said another Humarock resident speaking at the meeting.

Look, maybe there was in fact safety concerns with having a bonfire. But I’m pretty sure it could have been handled in an honorable manner without it becoming a military operation. The police state is expanding.

You’re Almost Done Paying the Burden of Government Services for the Year

Fri Jul 13, 2012 1:05pm

You’re almost in the clear. Starting July 15 you will be unburdened from having to pay for all the government services that you are now enjoying.

I find it amusing that leftists continue their hysterics for raising taxes. We are in debt, you see, because we do not tax enough. But once you give the leviathan more money, they don’t save. No. They spend more. They will never stop spending. Why on earth would you give them incentive to spend even more?

Would you like to keep working for government spending until August? September? It used to be around May when the burden was lifted. Not with this bunch of Keynesian dipshits.

CNS reports that Americans will have worked over 6 months to pay for government largesse.

This year, Americans have to work until July 15 to pay for the burden of government, more than six months.

In a new report, Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) has calculated that Americans will spend a total of 197 days toiling to pay for the cost of government.

“Cost of Government Day is the date of the calendar year on which the average American worker has earned enough gross income to pay off his or her share of the spending and regulatory burden imposed by government at the federal, state and local levels,” reads the report.

The report, Cost of Government Day, shows that Americans will work 88 days to pay for federal spending; 40 days for state and local spending; and 69 days for total regulatory costs.

“From a different perspective, the cost of government makes up 54.0 percent of annual gross domestic product (GDP),” reads the report. “What’s more, the largest tax hike in the nation’s history is scheduled to take place at the end of 2012 unless Congress acts to protect taxpayers. If this tax increase is allowed to hit, COGD [Cost of Government Day] could permanently be pushed back into August and beyond.”

More jackboot thuggery courtesy of the assholes in the Pennsylvania State Police. They beat the shit out of Robert Leone following a “minor hit and run”. The video had been held since 2010 and only now released onto YouTube. Obviously the police justify their disgusting action by saying the suspect was resisting.

You know, cops should be above this sort of behavior. We expect dirtbag criminals to act like this, but not cops. Supposedly the man was tasered. Isn’t that enough to subdue someone? One of the asshole cops broke his wrist punching this guy. The Blaze reports:

In the video, a terrifying scene plays out. Two Pennsylvania State Police cars box in Leone’s vehicl as troopers instruct him to exit. Shortly later, another trooper is seen shooting Leone with a Taser through the sunroof.

The same officer is then seen jumping off the car, kicking Leone as other officers cuff him. The troopers reportedly testified that Leone was fighting and resisting them, but the video doesn’t clearly show him being violent towards police.

Trooper Scott Renfer reportedly broke his hand after delivering “blow after blow” to Leone’s head. The suspect also argues he was repeatedly kicked and Tased while he was off-camera.

In the raw video, one of the state troopers can be heard yelling at Leone: ”Do you know who you’re messing with? This is the Pennsylvania State Police.”

The verbal abuse that ensued is undeniable.

“F***ing pull over means be pulled the f*** over. You’re going to be somebody’s f***ing butt f*** inside,” another officer can be heard yelling.

Towards the end of the video, Leone can be heard moaning in apparent terror as he repeatedly tells officers he is “sorry.”

“Are you f***ing stupid?” a trooper asks.

“I’m sorry,” Leone says again before continuing to moan loudly.

“Shut up you mother f***er,” a different officer shouts back at him.

The lawsuit asserts police did not allow EMS personnel to treat Leone at the scene and refused to let him be transported by ambulance to the hospital. Instead, they hogtied him and threw him in the back of a police car before taking him to get medical attention.

…Joan Leone, Robrt’s mother, told WBNG she was horrified when she spoke to her son for the first time after his arrest.

“They put him on the phone and he starts screaming that he has been beaten within an inch of his life. They tried to kill him through the night. He has been threatened that they are going to kill him and make it look like a suicide or an accident,” she said. “[Leone said] That these guys are crazy and you’ve got to get me out of here, they’ve been beating me. And the minute they said that, they pulled the phone from him and I was disconnected.”

…Author and former Pennsylvania state trooper Larry Hohol has made it a personal mission to get justice for Leone. He was the one who uploaded the video to YouTube and he regularly posts updates on the case on his website. He says Leone’s case reminds him of the infamous Rodney King beating.

Further, roughly 50 protesters took to the streets about month ago in Towanda, Pa., advocating for Leone’s release and punishment for the officers who beat him up.

“There‘s possibly a good chance that there’s a cover up at all levels,” said Mike Kitner, one of the protesters. “We just want some answers, we want somebody to come down and look into it because we’re not getting any.”

Video tape everything. No doubt Leone is a dirtbag. But when did we give license to the people serving us to act like this?

A Day That 56 Men Declared Our Independence From Tyranny – Time to Do It Again

Wed Jul 4, 2012 4:28pm

I desperately love Independence Day. It is a favorite holiday only rivaled in my adoration by the day we recognize the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I love God. I love my country.

Our independence from the tyranny that was England during the colonial days of this great nation is one of the greatest events in world history. Many on the left who have little affinity for this nation try to whitewash the history of the founding of this country. The textbooks that are given to students are a poor historical reference of our founding.

Today we live under another tyranny of our own making. We forget the lessons of our forefathers. Benjamin Franklin doubted we could keep our liberty. Someone asked him after the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 if the founders had given us a monarchy or republic (NOT a FUCKING democracy dammit). He replied, “a Republic, if you can keep it.”

Clearly we could not. The country that our fore fathers gave us is hanging by a thread. We are probably delusional to think that it is even hanging by a thread. Statism from Woodrow Wilson, FDR, LBJ, George W. Bush and Barack Hussein Obama has destroyed anything resembling the country they envisioned. As Thomas Jefferson wrote, “The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.” America, you have proven Mr. Jefferson correct.

Congratulations progressive assholes. You have voted for yourself power and money that will be the downfall of this country. As Alexander Hamilton so ruefully noted, “A fondness for power is implanted, in most men, and it is natural to abuse it, when acquired.” The American government is abusing its power in ways that would infuriate the colonists yet we sit idly by and let the government reign their tyranny on top of us.

Millions of leftists cheer this country’s demise. Fuck all of you. You have shit upon the very memories of the 56 brave and honorable men to whom promised their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor:

John Hancock. Button Gwinnett. Lyman Hall. George Walton. William Hooper. Joseph Hewes. John Penn. Edward Rutledge. Thomas Heyward Jr. Thomas Lynch Jr. Arthur Middleton. Samuel Chase. William Paca. Thomas Stone. Charles Carroll of Carrollton. George Wythe. Richard Henry Lee. Thomas Jefferson. Benjamin Harrison. Thomas Nelson, Jr. Francis Lightfoot Lee. Carter Braxton. Robert Morris. Benjamin Rush. Benjamin Franklin. John Morton. George Clymer. James Smith. George Taylor. James Wilson. George Ross. Caesar Rodney. George Read. Thomas McKean. William Floyd. Philip Livingston. Francis Lewis. Lewis Morris. Richard Stockton. John Witherspoon. Francis Hopkinson. John Hart. Abraham Clark. Josiah Bartlett. William Whipple. Samuel Adams. John Adams. Robert Treat Paine. Elbridge Gerry. Stephen Hopkins. William Ellery. Roger Sherman. Samual Huntington. William Williams. Oliver Wolcott. Matthew Thornton.

These men deserved better than what we have done to this country.

I went for a training ride this morning on my bike. Passing a gentleman arranging his flags at the end of his drive I yelled “happy 4th!” mindful of John Adams, after the Declaration, decree that:

“It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”

November 6 will be our chance to declare our independence from our tyrannical overlord, Obama and his flying monkeys. We won’t be completely free. We still have plenty to fight against in the alphabet soup of government tyranny: IRS, TSA, DHS, EPA, SWAT… The government soup bowl is full of nauseating letters.

I went to church today and was inspired by my priest’s sermon. He gets it. Everybody I came in contact with I reminded them of today by saying “happy 4th.” People responded. It’s still a wonderful day. I will continue the fight against tyrants, communists, progressives, socialists, Marxists and totalitarianism. I stand with many but a rising majority loves free shit and being told by the government what to do. They are freedom chicken-shits.

Independence Day has been perverted by the right and ignored by the left. The right uses it as an excuse to celebrate the military. The left supports tyranny. How can they support our Independence? If left to them they would prefer to lick the King’s boot while he gave them bread and allowed them to attend his circus.

Thomas DiLorenzo said it best, I think, in an article posted on Lew Rockwell:

If Americans ever began celebrating the real meaning of the Declaration of Independence, then they would embrace the Jeffersonian rights of secession and nullification as a means of fighting back against governmental tyranny. They would also withdraw their support for the U.S. government’s aggressive wars of imperialism in the Middle East and elsewhere, along with its hundreds of military bases on every continent on the planet. They might even begin an opposition to being plundered by the incredibly corrupt military/industrial/congressional complex and its main funding sources, the Fed and the income tax.

Happy Independence Day!

The US Government is the Greatest Threat to Your Well-Being

People in America don’t want to believe the country is becoming a police state. Those that are awake already know it is. You just have to open your eyes to see the tyranny growing around you. Ask any member of the herd about the TSA or drones or executive orders and they will more than likely say “but it’s for our safety”. We all know what Benjamin Franklin said about that so we won’t stop to rehash it.

You believe the government is there to protect you yet I would argue that it is now the single biggest threat to your well-being. I worry more about what the government is going to do to thwart my liberty and freedoms than about terrorism. Nay, I am far more scared of the U.S. government than I am of terrorists.

Jeff Thomas via Le Rockwell lists the following as evidence of a police state that could rival anything that Joseph Stalin would create:

Taken individually maybe you could see the mis-guided good intentions of each of these events. Together, the leviathan is a damn sure scary place to call home.

“It’s Constitutional. Bitches”

So says the classy executive director of the DNC, Patrick Gasbard, in a football spike of a tweet after the Supreme Court upheld Obamacare. The funny thing is they upheld the thing…as a tax. The very thing Obama said it never was. Have a GREAT time running on that narrative in November Dems.

Most on the right are kicking Chief Justice Roberts pretty hard in the nuts today as he was the swing vote in the whole fiasco. I dunno. He certainly could have made things easier if he had sided with the right but he pretty much handed the election to the Republicans in one fabulous vote. Remember what happened when Obamacare was the top issue during the 2010 elections?

Chief Justice reminded the people that it is “not our job to save the people from the consequences of their political choices.” True enough.

Not that a politician is ever honest but they should rename Obamacare, or (JOKE!) The Affordable Health Care Act, to what it is and has always been. Obama Healthcare Tax. You can bet the Republicans are going to be running on that little jewel.

I’m not sure why anyone would be gloating over paying more in taxes but the Democrats are sure enjoying the prospect. So let me anecdotally tell you how it will effect my family and me. You liberal assholes in Disney, we probably won’t be coming for a visit to your World next year. You liberal assholes in Hollywood, that is probably a few less movies we’ll partake of. You liberal assholes in Nashville, there will probably be less events we will come to. See, there is a trickle down effect. The less money you leave me the less I have left to spend. And I will surely not spend what remains on anything that benefits liberals if I can help it.

There are tons of commentary today and even more to come from this decision. So far the best of the lot has been a reasoned post from Eric Erickson at Red State.

…while Roberts has expanded the taxation power, which I don’t really think is a massive expansion from what it was, Roberts has curtailed the commerce clause as an avenue for Congressional overreach. In so doing, he has affirmed the Democrats are massive taxers. In fact, I would argue that this may prevent future mandates in that no one is going to go around campaigning on new massive tax increases. On the upside, I guess we can tax the hell out of abortion now. Likewise, in a 7 to 2 decision, the Court shows a strong majority still recognize the concept of federalism and the restrains of Congress in forcing states to adhere to the whims of the federal government.

Fourth, in forcing us to deal with this politically, the Democrats are going to have a hard time running to November claiming the American people need to vote for them to preserve Obamacare. It remains deeply, deeply unpopular with the American people. If they want to make a vote for them a vote for keeping a massive tax increase, let them try.

Fifth, the decision totally removes a growing left-wing talking point that suddenly they must vote for Obama because of judges. The Supreme Court as a November issue is gone.

Finally, while I am not down on John Roberts like many of you are today, i will be very down on Congressional Republicans if they do not now try to shut down the individual mandate. Force the Democrats on the record about the mandate. Defund Obamacare. This now, by necessity, is a political fight and the GOP sure as hell should fight.

60% of Americans agree with them on the issue. And guess what? The Democrats have been saying for a while that individual pieces of Obamacare are quite popular. With John Roberts’ opinion, the repeal fight takes place on GOP turf, not Democrat turf. The all or nothing repeal has always been better ground for the GOP and now John Roberts has forced everyone onto that ground. Oh, and as I mentioned earlier, because John Roberts concluded it was a tax, the Democrats cannot filibuster its repeal because of the same reconciliation procedure the Democrats used to pass it.

I’m disappointed that the Court ruled in favor of Obamacare. I’m tired of the politics. But it should make for one hell of an UGLY election this fall. It will be quite entertaining. And we’ll see once and for all what kind of country the people want. Tyranny or freedom. You get to decide. And you can’t blame the Court either way this time.

Idiot TSA Agent Spills Container of Cremated Remains – Laughs As Man Frantically Tries to Gather It Back Up

Tue Jun 26, 2012 5:44pm

Agents with the TSA are drunk with power. They are insensitive and many are apparently psychopaths. It is astonishing that the American people stand up to this nonsense. A man was traveling through security with the remains of his grandfather. The ashes were clearly marked on the canister as “remains”. The man approached the agent and pleaded with her not take care with the contents. Of course the agent dropped the remains on the floor. Horrified the man bent down to scoop up his grandfather’s remains, bone fragments and all, while the fucking TSA bitch laughed!

This piece of insensitive human garbage needs to be removed from her position at the TSA. People do not need this kind of treatment. At any cost. The Daily Mail has the story:

A man suffered humiliation and distress at the hands of an airport security agent when she insisted on opening a jar containing his grandfather’s remains and then dropped them on the floor.

John Gross, of Indianapolis, was trying to bring Mario Mark Marcaletti’s ashes home from Florida and had them in his bag in a tightly sealed jar clearly marked ‘Human Remains’.

The 91-year-old’s remains had been divided up among family members after he died in 2002 and Gross had been given a share by his uncle during his trip.

He was confronted by the TSA officer and explained what was in the container.

‘They opened up my bag, and I told them, “Please, be careful. These are my grandpa’s ashes,”‘ he told theindychannel.com.

‘She picked up the jar. She opened it up.

‘She used her finger and was sifting through it. And then she accidentally spilled it.’

As a third of the jar’s contents fell out onto the floor Gross frantically tried to gather it back up, a line of passengers waiting behind him.

The ashes were in a tightly sealed jar and clearly marked ‘Human Remains’

‘She didn’t apologize. She started laughing. I was on my hands and knees picking up bone fragments.

‘I couldn’t pick up all, everything that was lost. I mean, there was a long line behind me.’

Gross later found out that TSA rules state that staff should not tamper with human remain containers under any circumstance.

Instead they are supposed to put them through an X-ray machine.

Nothing can be done to regain the ashes. But Gross said he wants an apology from the TSA and from the individual agent ‘who opened the jar and laughed at me’.

‘I want them to help me understand where they get off treating people like this,’ he said.

On the TSA website it states: ‘Passengers are allowed to carry a crematory container as part of their carry-on luggage, but the container must pass through the X-ray machine.

‘Out of respect to the deceased and their family and friends, under no circumstances will an officer open the container even if the passenger requests this be done.’

Minneapolis Police Reportedly Beat Man for Carrying Gun – Trouble is He Had a Concealed Carry Permit

Mon Jun 25, 2012 7:50pm

Beat the crap out of you first. Ask questions later. Apparently that is how it rolls with the local jackboots in Minnesota. Zachary King allegedly got the shit beat out of him by five cops. Seems King had a gun in his waistband. He was leaving a nightclub, the cops noticed the gun, jumped him and apparently began pummeling his head into the sidewalk. King went to the hospital with a concussion. Sounds awfully legit to stop a citizen from exercising their constitutional rights in Amerika. Trouble is the man had a concealed carry permit. Even as he was trying to pull the license out the cops still kept beating him.

Internal Affairs is investigating as well as a civilian review authority. King was lawfully carrying a gun. Street video shows the beating. Other video of the area will show the attack as well. Hopefully these punk cops are completely fucked. And what is completely maddening is that they still charged King with misdemeanor obstructing the legal process. Most likely an attempt to cover the police’s ass. King’s lawyer is not coping a plea and will be happy to take it to trial. The City of Minneapolis is about to lose a few hundred thousand if not million out of their coffers when this shit goes to civil trial.

The Blaze reports:

A Minneapolis man says he suffered a concussion after receiving a beating from five police officers who attacked him after they noticed he was carrying a gun in his waist band, WCCO-TV in Minnesota reports.

The problem is, Zachary King has a concealed carry permit to lawfully carry the firearm. He argues police still attacked him anyway as he was leaving a local nightclub on Father’s Day night even after he told them he was carrying the permit.

“’I have my conceal and carry, and it’s my gun.’ And soon as I said that he grabbed me by my neck, slammed me against the wall, snatched my gun out the holster, started waving it in the air saying ‘gun, gun, gun,’” King said.

King also told WCCO he said nothing disrespectful to the officers and made no sudden movements that could have warranted the reaction from police.

“Then four other officers just came and slammed me on my face, one of the officers had me by my head just banging it on the sidewalk,” he said.

The permit was eventually discovered but King was reportedly taken to jail anyway.

WCCO has more on the incident:

King says officers eventually went for his back pocket and his wallet to get his weapons permit.

“And he goes like this to show them that I have my card and they stopped beating me,” said King.

King was then taken to the hospital before his last stop, jail.

It should be noted that King was previously arrested and not charged after recording police in April — a video he says showed an abuse of power. Additionally, he was acquitted of manslaughter in 2008 after his pit bull mauled to death his 7-year-old son. King’s attorney, Mike Patton, says his client, then “has zero criminal record.”

“It takes a lot of courage to come forward in this type of situation. He doesn’t want to see this happen to other people,” said Patton.

Still, King was ultimately charged in the most recent incident with misdemeanor obstructing the legal process, according to KAAL-TV in Minnesota.

“There will be no plea and we’ll take the case to trial, if need be,” said Mike Patton, King’s attorney.

Frustrated Dallas Jackboot Confiscates Motorcyclist’s Helmet Cam

Mon Jun 25, 2012 8:27am

Apparently your personal property is not safe from the local law enforcement tyrants in Dallas, TX. In a clear violation of his constitutional rights, Chris Moore was stopped and arrested by Deputy Sheriff James Westbrook. Now you might think that Moore was speeding, or driving reckless. No, he was wearing a helmet cam.

Yep, a helmet camera. Seems the cop wanted to know what was on the camera. So he stopped, detained and ultimately arrested Moore. Did he get a warrant for the camera? Nope. Was Moore engaged in a crime when stopped? Nope. Did he ask nicely? Nope. Just a jackboot DEMANDING compliance of the subject. OR ELSE!

From The Blaze:

Over Memorial Day weekend, Westbrook pulled over rider Chris Moore, who was with a large group of about 50-100 riders. Why? Not for speeding, or failing to yield. Instead, Westbrook noticed Moore was wearing a helmet cam, and he wanted to see what was on it. Naturally, Moore’s camera was rolling, and he picked up the exchange:

MOORE: “Was I doing something wrong? What am I being pulled over for?”

WESTBROOK: “The whole group of you guys.”

MOORE: “No. I was not, individually. How can you pull me over?”

WESTBROOK: “The reason you‘re being pulled over is because I’m gonna take your camera and we’re gonna use it as evidence of the crimes that have been committed by other bikers.”

MOORE: “I have not committed any crimes, and you cannot take my personal property from me, sir.”

WESTBROOK: “That’s fine. Need to see your license and registration.”

Eventually Westbrook returns, and when he does he has a reason:

WESTBROOK: “You’re under arrest for your license plate being obstructed. Place your hands.”

MOORE: “Are you kidding me, dude?”

WESTBROOK: “Place your hands behind your back.”

Westbrook eventually tells Moore to “shut up” and seems to slam him on the hood of the squad car. Moore continues to utter responses in disbelief, and Westbrook goes on to try and remove the helmet cam, which leads to a small altercation. A frustrated Westbrook eventually shoves Moore in the car and slams the door.

After the incident Moore spent eight hours in jail and, as promised from the beginning, the video from his camera was turned over to the gang unit as evidence (it’s unclear how, then, Moore is able to release his own version of the footage).

But the story doesn’t end there. Local station WFAA-TV caught wind of the story and aired it. Now the sheriff’s department has launched an internal investigation over the matter. The department, however, has said that officers that day were being taunted by large groups of riders, and has released video of that (riders also shut down the freeway last year with their antics).

[…]

Though none of that happened to Deputy Westbrook, Shook said the deputy likely felt that afternoon‘s frustration when he pulled over Moore in order to seize Moore’s helmet camera.

“Well, I think in this particular case, you did need a warrant to get that piece of evidence,” Toby Shook, a former Dallas prosecutor, told the station.

He added later, “The Constitution wins out over frustration every time.”

Ironically, the department says no dash cam video exists from Westbrook’s squad car.

Being a cop is a mostly thankless job. Frustration goes with the territory. But we *trust* our public servants like cops to uphold the constitution. Not decide to act like some asshole on TV and circumvent the edicts of the law they swore to uphold.
