"Priceless!... DC Protesters Chant "Glenn Beck" Behind CNN Live Shot"

Stolen from Gateway who got it from Hot Air

Just, it's WONDERFUL!

Director Samuel Maoz's hard-hitting Israeli war movie Lebanon won the Golden Lion for best picture at the Venice film festival today. The film went inside a tank to focus on a young Israeli conscript during the 1982 war. "I dedicate this award to the thousands of people all over the world who, like me, come back from war safe and sound," the director told the audience at the 11-day cinema showcase. Another frontrunner, American director Todd Solondz's dark comedy Life During Wartime picked up best screenplay.
And why is this so wonderful?
Two prominent American pictures were shut out of the festival's official jury awards -- Michael Moore's attack on corporate greed, Capitalism: A Love Story, and The Weinstein Company's The Road, which John Hillcoat adapted from Cormac McCarthy's post-apocalyptic novel. This will no doubt affect Harvey Weinstein' release plans for it. Moore's pic did receive the Leoncino d'oro Award from 26 local youths selected by the festival, but nothing from the official jury -- even though he personally came to Venice to premiere his documentary.
HA! Eat it, you miserable little bastard!

A federal judge who actually believes in the law

On these facts, Judge Black concluded as a matter of law that the police violated Matthew St. John's constitutional rights under the Fourth Amendment because they seized and disarmed him even though there was not "any reason to believe that a crime was afoot." Judge Black's opinion is consistent with numerous high state and federal appellate courts, e.g., the United States Supreme Court in Florida v. J.L. (2000) (detaining man on mere report that he has a gun violates the Fourth Amendment) and the Washington Appeals Court in State v. Casad (2004) (detaining man observed by police as openly carrying rifles on a public street violates the Fourth Amendment).
And here's a bit that's undoubtedly causing a lot of LE brass hats a real problem:
Notably, Judge Black denied the police officers' requested "qualified immunity," a judicially created doctrine allowing government officials acting in good faith to avoid liability for violating the law where the law was not "clearly established."
'Qualified immunity' is what a lot of agencies and cops have used to keep themselves from being held personally responsible for screwing up in an incident(like shooting your yorkie 'as a matter of policy', for instance); take that away, and it just might cause some of these people to become a bit more careful about their actions.

This calls for strong language: If you want to dive into absolute

bugfuck insanity, Tam(in the comments to this piece) informed us of this place. Here's a sample, in case you don't want to have to have your brain rinsed, which mine may need after reading this:
"Oh, all of us in the intelligence community know about the concentration camps and their purposes. We ALL know that they are TO TERMINATE THE RESISTERS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER UNDER MARTIAL LAW..."(-Michael Maholy, a personal friend, 20 years Naval Intelligence and CIA working directly under Bush and North for the NWO agenda.)

Tools of termination such as MODERN GUILLOTINES had to be purchased and imported from overseas.

"I have personally been to Japan and seen the place where many of these guillotines have been manufactured for the hour of martial law. I have stood on the loading docks of San Diego and watched as they were being secretly unloaded, and I knew what they would be used for: the termination of resisters of the NWO under martial law." (-Elaine Knost, former high level Satanist leader and CIA assassin under Bush.)
What I want to know, is how the hell she found it?

If he can't keep Delilah,

can we have her to turn loose in the Senate?

Yeah, just a few right-wing nuts showing up in DC

'Few' in media-speak now meaning an estimate of 2 million people.

There's got to be some puckered backsides in Congress.

Ah, to have the concession to sell rope(with 'How to tie a noose' instructions, of course) in D.C. today...

So the People's Republic of Maryland can't do anything about ACORN

but they can go after someone who exposes them...
No word on whether they’ll be prosecuting any ACORN people for conspiring to cover up sex slavery. They’ve got bigger fish to fry, I guess. Like … the people who exposed the people who conspired to cover up sex slavery.

This is what you get for doing the media’s job for them.

STATEMENT OF STATE’S ATTORNEYS OFFICE FOR BALTIMORE CITY RELATIVE TO THE ALLEGED BALTIMORE ACORN INCIDENT

Baltimore, MD – September 11, 2009 – We have received inquiries from citizens and the media asking whether the Baltimore City State’s Attorneys Office would initiate a criminal investigation for acts allegedly committed at ACORN offices located in Baltimore. The only information received in reference to this alleged criminal behavior was a YouTube video. Upon review by this office, the video appears to be incomplete. In addition, the audio portion could possibly have been obtained in violation of Maryland Law, Annotated Code of Maryland Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article §10-402, which requires two party consent.

My first thought? I hope the State's Attorney is being hammered by subjectscitizens asking where the hell they were when the vote fraud and other things ACORN was tied into were happening? But you get outraged at THIS?

Second, if they try to prosecute him, I hope he starts filing charges on every news outlet that's done a sting of the type.

I wasn't planning on posting again today, until I saw this

Weiderhold played an instrumental role in creating OSSSO’s predecessor at Amtrak, the Counter-Terrorism Unit (CTU). He tapped Rooney to oversee the office. But Rooney was quietly given the “thank you for your service” heave-ho in May and Weiderhold was unexpectedly “retired” a few weeks later — just as the government-subsidized rail service faced mounting complaints about its meddling in financial audits and probes.

As I reported in June, Weiderhold had blown the whistle on intrusion of Amtrak’s Law Department into his financial audits and probes. A damning, 94-page report from an outside legal firm concluded that the “independence and effectiveness” of the Amtrak inspector general’s office were “being substantially impaired” by the Law Department – which happens to be headed by Eleanor Acheson, a close pal of Vice President Biden.

Biden, in turn, is tight with the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), the powerful union that represents the Amtrak Police Department. According to OSSSO sources, the APD brass have been aggrieved over the non-unionized counterterrorism unit’s existence from its inception. A West Coast OSSSO team member told me that union leaders blocked police credentialing efforts by his office for more than a year. An East Coast OSSSO team member told me that the FOP recently filed a grievance against one of its counterterrorism officers for assisting a train conductor who asked for help in ejecting a ticketless passenger.
Well, we had idiot politicians trying to kill, and then making as difficult as possible, the program to arm pilots; why would we expect more from the idiots in charge of trains?

It was a day off, and I had the radio on

when a local DJ said there was a report of a plane hitting one of the Trade Center towers. Damn, some clown flying where he shouldn't have been, I thought. Little bit later "A second plane has hit the other tower." Ok, that's no accident.

So on went the tv, and watching and listening. Didn't see any of the people jumping that I recall, saw that later(and God damn every miserable excuse for a reporter who decided they needed to replay Abu Graib shit over and over, but couldn't show any of that because 'it upset people'). One thing I do remember: some talking head, in the appropriate breathless voice, said something for the whatever-time about "Terror striking into the heartland", and I realized I was on my feet yelling "Terror striking? What about the PISSED OFF in the heartland, you moron!"

I didn't realize then just how many people would use this as an opportunity to piss on their own country. That there were people who actually wanted to believe Bush did it. That there were so many in Congress who'd sworn to uphold and protect who'd use it to try and tear down(found out just what that oath meant to them).

But the most of us remember('Day of Service' my ass). And we support striking at the people behind this, and we support the troops. I've got my gripes with Bush 43, but going after the bad guys in Afghanistan and Iraq and other places isn't one of them.

That's all for now, just not sure how to put things.

IT LIVES!

Lathe operational; no blood spilled.

Not the best of pictures, but here it is
It's bolted to a piece of 3/4" plywood. As PeterT mentioned in comments the other day, all by itself probably not rigid enough, but I've got a nice solid bench it'll be sitting on for use. For a free-standing bench, I'd probably do as he suggested and double the plywood on top of solid legs.

Here's the motor setup
It's a 1/2-horse 1725rpm washer motor, so right in the recommended speed and will have plenty of torque for anything you can do on this. It's a 'paddle', another piece of 3/4", with two good hinges bolted to the base and the paddle, with the motor bolted in place(no screws). I can adjust the motor up or down if needed, and the weight keeps the belt tight.

The white in the jaws is a piece of pvc(an Og suggestion for practice). The bit that was in it is somewhat dull, but still did a nice job of facing the end. I did a bit more fiddling with it, but not much. I'm going to stone the bit tonight and see if I can sharpen it(I'm always nervous
about starting on a type of tool I've never worked on before) before trying anything else. The thing runs very smooth and quiet, and I can detect no signs of the bearings being worn, for what visual inspection is worth on this. There's an oil fitting on each end of the headstock and I did remember to put some in yesterday and spin it a few times by hand. I engaged the backgear and tried that; it turns very slowly with that. It came with a plate that shows the gear arrangements to use for threading when I get that far, and all the gears.

Question to anybody out there: is there a way to oil or otherwise lube the backgear assembly? Or do you just leave it alone?

I guess I'll need to get a dial indicator for truing pieces in the chuck; doing it by eye... can get by with that on pvc or delrin, but I'd rather be a bit more precise for brass or steel. And I think I'll rig something to protect the motor from bits being thrown off the stock.

Happily, this belt seems to be in fairly good shape, so should last a while. 'Happily' because to replace it with another standard belt would mean disassembling the headstock. There's a belt mentioned that comes in sections and does not require that; I think that's what I'll use.

Those sawhorses are some light plastic ones I bought several years back. They're good for light work and not much else, and I hadn't used them in so long(been under a tree) that when I opened them and slapped them down to clear some dirt on the feet, spiders and crickets and ants fell out. Leading to a short session with the bug sprayer. And no, didn't try it on them; this was just for the pictures.

MHI has the patch contest winners

here. I want a T.A.L.O.N. patch. Actually three, for me and the kids. Son could keep his somewhere handy: "That? That's just in case dad calls asking for arty, don't worry about it."

No, I didn't listen to the speech last night; when you already know

what he's going to say, why(and I hate listening to political speeches anyway). He wants to take over health care, which is bad enough; he also has people like Holdren working for him:
HOLDREN: There has been a strain of what many people call “US exceptionalism” in the United States, the notion that the United States is so big, so important, so powerful, so technologically advanced that it can and should do what it wants. I think this strain is misguided.

Q: Will Americans need to reduce their living standards? Is that politically viable, or will technology [unintelligible] do it?

H: I think ultimately that the rate of growth of material consumption is going to have to come down, and there’s going to have to be a degree of redistribution of how much we consume, in terms of energy and material resources, in order to leave room for people who are poor to become more prosperous.
Basic lefty "If you succeed someone else has to fail" bullcrap, but it's how Obama & Co. think. As Morrissey says
First, Holdren doesn’t know what “American exceptionalism” means. He can’t even get the term right. American exceptionalism has nothing to do with our size or our technological prowess, except in tertiary terms. Exceptionalism springs from the unique nature of our nation’s birth, the historical leadership in personal freedom that America has shown (with very notable failures, such as slavery and post-Civil War Jim Crow), and especially the role America inherited in the 20th century as the guarantor of Western security and international shipping.

This is no philosophical quibble, either. Part of the reason America consumes more relative to other nations on a per-capita basis is because we produce more for the consumption of others, and out of necessity for our role as global cop. That is a large part of the reason that our defense spending outstrips those of other Western nations, as they do not contribute nearly as much to that role. Seeing as how Holdren can’t figure out what he opposes, it comes as no surprise that he doesn’t see the connection between that role and consumption of resources, either.

And the lie that illegal aliens won't be able to get health care under the Obama takeover:
The Democrats' bill in the House, H.R. 3200, contains gaping loopholes that will allow illegal immigrants to receive taxpayer-funded benefits. And these loopholes are no accident.

The legislation contains no verification mechanism to ensure that illegal immigrants do not apply for benefits. Republicans offered an amendment to close this loophole -- it would have required verification using the existing methods that are already in place to verify eligibility for other federal benefits programs. But, when they were asked to put the language of the bill where their words were, in a party-line vote, House Democrats rejected the amendment to require verification and close this loophole.

This column appeared in The Hill, not World Net Daily. The Hill is the respected, influential publication of Capitol Hill. It fact-checks claims. And Smith is exactly right -- enforcement provisions were gutted.

OBAMA: "Don't pay attention to those scary stories about how your benefits will be cut. ... That will never happen on my watch. I will protect Medicare."

THE FACTS: Obama and congressional Democrats want to pay for their health care plans in part by reducing Medicare payments to providers by more than $500 billion over 10 years.

And the President has been part of ACORN, which has been caught(on top of vote fraud and a bunch of other things) helping a pimp get money for a brothel and prepare to evade taxes:
Later, when the “pimp” asks what would happen if the organization is somehow connected to the scheme, the ACORN staffer replies, “First of all, it’s not gonna damage us because we not gonna know. And with your girls, you tell them, ‘Be careful.’ Train them to keep their mouth shut.”

“These girls are like 14, how can we trust them?” the pimp asks.

“Just be very, very careful,” the ACORN staffer says. “Whatever you do, always keep your eyes in the back of your head.”
Note that when he mentions having 14-year old hookers, their only problem seems to be keeping them quiet about the arrangement. Wonderful people, aren't they?


And we must take note- again- of all the corrupt politicians, like Rep. Charles Rangel:
Federal Election Commission reports show Rangel's campaign committee has forked over $2 million to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee since 1995.

Only Pelosi (Calif.), Democratic Leader Steny Hoyer (Maryland) and Democratic Whip James Clyburn (SC) have been more generous.

Rangel also has donated $3.8 million from his campaign and leadership committees to Democratic candidates directly since 1999, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
...
His money has helped the re-election efforts of 119 members currently serving in Congress and three members who sit on the ethics committee.


And Van Jones lands at a place run by Soros; anybody surprised?
For fallen White House aides, the rallying cry apparently is John Podesta to the rescue! The Obama administration’s former green jobs czar Van Jones is headed back to Podesta’s Center for American Progress after stepping down from his White House post four days ago amid controversy over his leftist affiliations, the Daily News has learned.
If you read the Jammie post, you'll read of all the major media people glossing over Jones' past, and pretending they actually covered the story. Downright pathetic.


Unrelated to the above is the Justice Department doing something- well, you can't call it 'to avoid doing something'; it's 'doing something stupid and trying to keep someone from talking about the stupid':
In December 2007, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Wichita unveiled a 34-count indictment against Haysville, Kansas, physician Stephen Schneider and his wife, Linda, a nurse who worked in his clinic. It charged Schneider with "illegally distributing prescription drugs to his patients, directly causing the deaths of at least four of them."

Convinced the Schneiders were innocent, Reynolds and her group, the Pain Relief Network (PRN), publicly disputed the charges. In January 2008, PRN announced a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of using the federal Controlled Substances Act to regulate the practice of medicine, traditionally a state function. PRN also tried to stop the state medical board from suspending Schneider's license, arguing that doing so would harm his patients.
...
The Tanya in question, Assistant U.S. Attorney Tanya Treadway, evidently was annoyed by the unusually balanced press coverage Reynolds helped arrange. In April 2008, Treadway took the extraordinary step of seeking a court order prohibiting Reynolds, who was neither a defendant nor a lawyer in the Schneiders' case, from talking about it. The prosecutor claimed Reynolds had "a sycophantic or parasitic relationship with the defendants," whom she was using "to further her own personal interests."

Nine months after a federal judge rejected Treadway's attempt to gag Reynolds, the activist learned she was the subject of a grand jury investigation into possible obstruction of justice. Reynolds and PRN received subpoenas demanding their communications with dozens of people, including relatives of the Schneiders and members of their defense team. Tellingly, the material sought includes correspondence related to a PRN-commissioned billboard in Wichita proclaiming "Dr. Schneider never killed anyone."
This has been one part of the fallout of the War on Some Drugs; doctors who prescribe 'too much' or 'the wrong kind' of pain meds to patients being charged with being a pusher; and it's freakin' insane. There've been documented cases of doctors providing 'improper' meds(morphine or heroin or some serious stuff) to patients with advanced cancer or similar disease because nothing else would help the pain being charged with crimes by these idiots; this is one of those cases where it's a good question to ask "Don't you have some actual criminals to chase? Everything is so under control you have extra time and money to do this crap?"

And now, to try to prevent someone from talking about it? How much money and time is Treadway wasting here?

Jeez, what a morning.

And some...consider the Institute for Policy Studies

to be the President's "idea bank."
...
John Feffer, co-director of Foreign Policy in Focus at the radical, pro-Marxist Soros-funded Institute for Policy Studies gives us an "I'm okay, you're okay" look at suicide bombers.

Feffer's 3,375 word apologia is summed up in this passage

We have our suicide bombers—we call them heroes. We have our culture of indoctrination—we call it basic training. We kill civilians—we call it collateral damage.

...
But wait! Feffer has a military example from US history. Two hundred and five years ago a US Navy ship deliberately blew itself and its volunteer crew up trying to inflict damage on enemy vessels in Tripoli. Feffer describes the war against the Barbary Pirates as "America's first war against Islam." Forget the piracy, murders, hostage-taking, and demands for tribute.

And that's all it takes for Feffer to "justify" the 9/11 attacks. The terrorists hit the Pentagon, thus, 9/11 was a military strike, no different from American strikes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Lathe update:

I have a motor! Dad had a 1/2-horse 1725rpm washer motor with nothing to do at the moment, and since the daughter was visiting over the weekend she brought it back. I'm going to bolt the lathe to a piece of heavy plywood as a base, and mount a 'paddle' for the motor: another piece of plywood hinged on the side by the lathe so the weight of the motor will keep the belt tight. Og suggested a place to get bits for cheap(ordered), I found a website that had the original manual as JPGs of each page, Gerry in comments suggested a couple of books and Keith suggested another book and some more sites.

Over time this is going to get involved; lots to learn. And this is kind of like firearms, in that if you don't watch it you can wind up spending far more on accessories than you did for the lathe. A three-jaw chuck here, lathe dogs there(don't know if they bark or what, but I'm assured I'll need them), a drill chuck for the tailstock and so on.

I went by Lowes this afternoon for bolts, nuts and washers. And hinges, for the paddle. This crap just keeps getting more expensive in a sneaky way; the price on the bags of machine screws & nuts is the same, but they have fewer in them than used to. Happily, I've got a piece of 3/4" plywood for the base, as that stuff is high, too.

Went to the range today(taking my time on the lathe), and got to shoot something I'd never handled before: .416 Rigby. Guy had a new Dakota rifle & Leupold scope, getting in a last bit of practice before heading for Africa Friday(the bastard). The cartridge makes a .30-06 look undernourished; 400-grain softpoint at about 2300 fps. He offered a cartridge and I took it. Let me put it this way: I wanted to be upright so I rested both elbows on the bench, and I now have a scrape on both of them. That thing speaks with authority.

Didn't help matters that the thing only weighed about as much as my Garand; and that was with the mercury recoil-reducer in the stock. I understand the "You'll carry it more than shoot it" argument, but if I had such a beast I'd rather carry a couple more pounds around. Damn glad it had a Limbsaver(accurate name) recoil pad.

While not using someone else's expensive ammo, I tried out some more cast bullet loads in the Garand. Bottom line: either I just can't find the magic combination, or this rifle just doesn't like cast. All function the action properly, and when I stripped and cleaned it I found no trace of lead fouling, but the best group was a bit over five inches at 100 yards. At this point I think I'll stick with the 150-grain gas-checked bullet for when I want to shoot it at the indoor range or stick to the 50-yard line, and use jacketed for longer ranges.

One thing to finish cleaning, and I think I'll then get out a bottle of Dad's home brew.

Another bunch of 'child care workers' and politicians

who need the acquaintance of tar and feathers:
PARENTS are being threatened with having their children taken into care after questioning doctors’ diagnoses or objecting to their medical care.

John Hemming, a Liberal Democrat MP, who campaigns to stop injustices in the family court, said: “Very often care proceedings are used as retaliation by local authorities against ‘uppity’ people who question the system.”

Cases are emerging across the UK:
Britain, what the hell have you let happen to you?

"Tom Daschle is the human toe fungus of Washington"

Which would be more funny if it weren't true.
Despite abandoning his Secretary of Health and Human Services nomination in disgrace in February 2009, the K Street tax cheat who evaded IRS rules for years remains a top White House confidante and policy strategist. In fact, he’s leading the drive to save Obamacare. He climbed up from under the bus back into the Oval Office and onto the sets of Meet the Press and This Week with George Stephanopoulos to offer his rescue plan.

It’s Daschle’s idea to morph the unpopular “public option” into non-profit “health care co-ops” that will almost certainly receive government funding, support, and tax advantages over private insurers. Old colleagues on both sides of the Senate aisle are now promoting his alternative. Last week, he penned a Do It For Teddy Kennedy pep rally op-ed in the Wall Street Journal urging Democrats to go it alone and depend on the backroom Senate reconciliation process if necessary to get a deal done.
...
The White House told the Washington Post that Daschle is simply a trusted “sounding board” and “friend” offering invaluable assistance as an experienced individual with a passion for health care reform. But Daschle is the dictionary definition of a self-interested Washington lobbyist and Beltway swamp creature. Married to heavy-hitting aviation lobbyist Linda Hall Daschle(who, as I recall, was getting rich as a lobbyist while he was in office), the former U.S. Senator from South Dakota has earned more than $5 million as a professional back-scratcher since leaving life as an entrenched incumbent. In the parlance of self-exempting Team Obama members, Daschle is merely a beneficent “resource,” as he described himself to the New York Times, serving the Public Interest.

The truth: Daschle is cashing in mightily on his role as “the architect of President Obama’s health care plan” in the private sector – and evading lobbyist disclosure by reinventing himself as a highly paid “senior adviser” to D.C.-based law firm/influence-peddling shop Alston & Bird.

The four Marines who died the other day?

Dashing from boulder to boulder, diving into trenches and ducking behind stone walls as the insurgents maneuvered to outflank us, we waited more than an hour for U.S. helicopters to arrive, despite earlier assurances that air cover would be five minutes away.

U.S. commanders, citing new rules to avoid civilian casualties, rejected repeated calls to unleash artillery rounds at attackers dug into the slopes and tree lines — despite being told repeatedly that they weren’t near the village.

“We are pinned down. We are running low on ammo. We have no air. We’ve lost today,” Marine Maj. Kevin Williams, 37, said through his translator to his Afghan counterpart, responding to the latter’s repeated demands for helicopters.
...
I said it would happen, and only recently “officials” have admitted that the new Afghanistan ROE have opened up new space for the insurgents. Now it has cost the lives of four more U.S. Marines. How many more Marines will have to die before this issue is addressed? The new ROE should have been dealt with as a classified memorandum of encouragement and understanding to consider holistic consequences of actions rather than a change to formal rules by which our Marines and Soldiers are prosecuted by courts. Yet the damage has been and continues to be done by poor decisions at the highest levels of leadership.

Damn the ROE.

Picked something up at the flea market Sunday

an old Sears model 109 metal lathe. 6" throw, 18" bed, and has a 4-jaw chuck. Seems to be in pretty good shape and has all the gears for threading. Which it'll be a while before I try that; very little experience with lathe work. I may have to look for a new chuck in the future; each jaw tightens independently, which makes me think problems getting a piece centered.

Dad has a motor that'll work nicely to power it, and Og has provided some tips. I found some jpg copies of the original manual online, and I'll hit the library to see if have any books on machining that cover some 'how to's' , and order some cutters. I've been wanting a small lathe for stuff for years; back when I was making lots of knives, having this to turn pommels and such would have been bloody wonderful. Right now? Pins, screws(later), punches, and we'll see what else comes up.

I'll post a picture later. In the meantime, anybody know anything to do/watch for on this?


In other news, I have hummers in the yardThere are two I know of, and this is one of the only good pictures I've been able to get; little buggers zip down to the feeder and by the time I have the camera ready, zip! I feel halfway like Wile E. trying to catch the roadrunner.

Speaking of which, on a training mission a short time ago son & squad were driving down a trail and found a dead coyote, then about a hundred yards down a roadrunner trotting along; and of course someone said "Stupid coyote never learns."

Not only is this an idiotic action by the State Police of the People's Republic of Maryland,

you'll note they haven't actually let dealers know about this stupidity:
Maryland --(AmmoLand.com)- In its infinite wisdom, the licensing division of the Maryland State Police has determined that certain .22 caliber rimfire rifles are “assault weapons” based solely upon there cosmetic resemblance to some firearms that are defined by Maryland law as “assault weapons.”
...
The real problem is: The Maryland State Police have apparently not issued a formal written bulletin to the firearms dealers informing them of this new requirement. It is entirely possible for a dealer and/or buyer to be arrested, charged, and prosecuted for violating an unwritten policy established in secret by Maryland State Police Licensing Division.

I repeat: you could not pay me enough to live in that state; they keep electing dirtbags like Frank to the Congress, and they elect state politicians who encourage the State Police(very apt name for them) to do crap like this.

Couple of years back a friend told me of driving through the People's Republic of Maryland and being stopped by the State Police. And the main reason for the stop seemed to be "Where are the guns?"
"Excuse me?"
"You assholes from Texas and Oklahoma always have guns, now where are they!"
Very bad attitude, very threatening. No, I have no proof of it. After hearing so many stories like this, and of how subjects of the PROM are treated, I believe it.

If the story is correct, the cop and the magistrate

and likely the doctor ought to all be charged for violation of his rights, AND criminal assault.
According to the suit, police arrested Jamie Lockard, 53, on suspicion of drunken driving in March.

A Breathalyzer test showed he was under the legal limit, but Officer Brian Miller doubted the findings.

Lockard and his attorney claim in the suit that police took him to Dearborn County Hospital and forced him to submit to a urine and blood test.

Police said they obtained a warrant, but Lockard's attorney said his client was shackled to a gurney and had a catheter inserted against his will.
...
The blood test showed that Lockard's blood-alcohol level did not exceed Indiana's legal limit, police said.

Garner said the police officer did not apologize, but instead charged Lockard with obstruction of justice.
If the Lawrenceburg Police Department doesn't have a problem with this, then the chief ought to be fired and someone who actually thinks the Constitution means something be hired.
