Laws that keep us safe from our own selves, are nothing but restriction of liberty.


You know it is illegal to kill yourself?
Who are you going to throw in jail? Who are you going to fine?

Did you know it is illegal to wear the American flag, in America?

There are no liberties for anyone. We now have permission.

That will never change, I'm afraid.
how long have you been Black?

Baltimore for example is notorious for its pro-defendant juries and jury nullification.

If there is no evidence that "a police officer would [plant] a gun," then why would it be a determining factor for the jury's decision?
