A municipal employee in Commerce Township, about 40 miles northwest of Detroit, was asked to remove signs that violated a city ordinance, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office said in a news release. He needed 13 stitches after he sliced three fingers on the razor blades. Signs are required to be 33 feet from the center of roadways, and a political sign in the yard of a home was 9 feet too close to the street. No words. . .
We're you equally as upset with how many police officers across the nations were seriously injured and hospitalized by democratic rioters and looters over the last 9 months?
That was the whole idea of the new continent called America. It was in the middle of the ocean (two oceans, in fact) and people seized on it as a way to start a brand-new country or six, from scratch, and set up governments free of the usual government plagues (oppression, dictatorship, overbearing restriction, forced redistribution and the other usual results of socialism).
And it worked for a while, until the socialists found ways to cross the ocean and re-infect the New World.
sorry to quibble, but the Whiskey Rebellion was only 3 years after the ratification of the Constitution, so if by "worked for a while" you mean "worked for about 3 years before tyranny got its foothold and began to grow unabated for the next 200+ years" then sure, it worked for "a while" but not really.
The need to protect Trump signs has been there, for as long as we've had Trump signs.
Democrats will be outraged that the sign was electrified.
Normal people will be upset that Democrats tried to steal it.
Who's more right?
Our legal history has a rich tradition of valuing human life and safety over property rights. This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. It is indeed shocking that people are ignorant of this foundational principle in American jurisprudence.
The great debate about initiations of force and the right of the individual to defend life and property.
Some folks think there should be Marquess of Queensberry rules for how self-defense operates, which is only fair to the initiator of force because heaven forbid they suffer consequences for their actions.
Then there are some people who think (like hooligan, in this thread for instance) that there is no defense allowed if the initiator of force is the government.
And then there are some people like me who think that if you initiate force against someone else, you voluntarily and knowingly forfeit any and all of your own natural individual rights, up to and including life, if your victim chooses to take their defensive response to that extent.
I guess the debate is "right of people to cause harm to others?" Does such a right exist? Who possesses it? Does the person(s) who have harm caused to them have any rights of their own?
I like how tis story has evolved into black ops, with night vision and rappelling down from helicopters at 1:00 am in the Trumpies' minds
I know, right? I'm picturing a pocket protector wearing nerdy city employee knocking on doors and picking up errant signs looking like the ice cream man, and the Trump supporters have an alternative vision of Green Berets from Michigan performing secret night raids on two dimensional Osama bin Ladens in the relentless pursuit of these enemies of democracy.
He was an employee of the city who was removing them due to violating city ordinances. Nice that you think he deserved this.
