I just left Duluth. 30 minutes ago…even in the rain they run rampant and as usual Duluth’s finest is afraid they’ll melt and sat in the car. No doubt the fool was asleep.

Yada Yada Brucie, don’t you think it’s about time you stopped your little antics? Yes there are limits to all rights but “screening rights”? That is going down a very slippery slope that at some point will step all over someone’s constitutional first and probably fourteenth amendment rights. If left unchecked unchallenged it is the pathway to despotism. And, no, the rights of free speech and redress did not die with the hippies. The ACLU has more than the cajones to challenge the very things you say no one cares about anymore and they really are “Perspiring Attorneys”(actual lawyers) not just want to be lawyas.

Teacher, you hit the nail on the head. The widespread apathy in Duluth is learned, not inherent. Those who have lived in the area for a while have been conditioned to know how the game is played. Rasise a concern? My, my, my. All of a sudden the police think you are a bad driver. You speed, you follow too closely. “What is that pill in your car? Is that a pot leaf? Lie face down on the ground for the next 45 minutes while a team of us search your vehicle and rip your car apart. This tire iron is a concealed weapon because it’s under the passenger’s seat. Same with the plastic butter knife in your door console – you could use that to injure me. Expect this to occur on a weekly basis.”

It’s not about not caring enough. It’s about being conditioned to be a good plantation worker.

Duluth has more problems than this budget. A huge issue is the widespread apathy. Many of the people don’t seem to care enough to stand up to the corrupt pig (chief of police), who regularly dictates that his officers “generate income” but does nothing to rid the town of the illegals and their illegal activity. I ate lunch with one of these officers one day and when I asked him what he did when he came upon illegals. His reply was disgusting. “Nothing, they are too much paperwork.”

Instead of worrying over the color of the trash bags in the city limits, why not save tons of money and get rid of the chief. The department is run rampant with nepotism and those who are willing to play the game. Another officer was told they wrote too many tickets to the wrong people and that they should learn to choose better friends. Meaning they should keep company with the lazy pigs who choose to do nothing rather than the few that try to make a difference. That same officer was passed over for promotion several times because they refuse to play the game, despite being more qualified than the ones in higher positions, who are willing to play.

Proctor Square is filled every morning with illegals looking for work. If they were gone, it would open up jobs for hard working LEGAL citizens. It would reduce the number of people waiting at the emergency room for medical treatment. I spent three hours waiting with my daughter (who had pneumonia) on a Friday night because the emergency room was filled with illegals who couldn’t speak English and didn’t have money to pay for treatment. Guess who is paying for that? Tax payers.

Dont be fooled into thinking the police do not know where these illegals live. I did a citizen ride along with the department and believe me, they not only know, they can tell you how many in each dumpy apartment behind Big Lots. Those who think “at least they work” don’t be fooled either. They might work but they send most of the money back to their home country, so that does nothing for the economy. They aren’t paying taxes either, because they get paid cash.

WAKE UP! DEMAND CHANGE!

Oh and a question Mr. Aspiring Attorney, the first comment in this blog that you dismiss as unreasonable, on points 4 and 7 do you find that part of the redress as unreasonable?

Does this sound vaguely familiar?

“He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.”

It should, it was the founders compliant made against a tyrannical King.

BTW, tyranny, Justice Scalia spoke to in his opinion on the second amendment – the prefatory clause.

I don’t think you are as aware as you think. But go ahead Mr. Aspiring Attorney, I betting that you missed what limited powers the government has under the first amendment. In fact, I believe, if memory serves me right, I have a local case in my back pocket memory that says I’m right.

The case involved a local man and a certain City in here Gwinnett. The City dismissed the man as out of order during a council meeting refusing to hear his redress. Needless to say the ACLU got involved and as memory serves me this City got the message loud and clear. To my knowledge this City stop violating the man’s rights of redress. (I left out the names intentionally though others who may read this probably know exactly the incident I’m talking about.)

Nice try on the rebound but your original comment did not express limits, only an indication to completely refuse or as you said, avoid to hear some opinions as you would consider them an unreasonable redress.

“Because I’d want to avoid the most unreasonable recommendations (see the first posting, lol.) how do you properly screen citizens? Let’s be honest folks, do we want EVERYBODY’S opinion?”
