Violence is No Game

But surely I'm not suggesting anyone's life is worth mere merchandise, or the contents of a cash register?

Not at all.

What I am suggesting is anyone depraved enough to threaten the life of another human being over something so trivial is a deranged monster capable of anything. What I'm suggesting is that human beings confronted with such monsters should not have their choice to defend their precious and irreplaceable lives taken away from them by others. [More]
Here's today's Gun Rights Examiner column.

The government sees it that people are locked up and many times for life for making a threat to the president. No act of violence just words. Yet that person who only used words will be subject to a life of violence in prison.
Truth be known, criminals are the best thing that ever happened for the parasites in the criminal justice system. If a person removes a criminal from the freeloading parasites system of scams. That person must be put in the criminals place. Fact of the matter is 3 percent of the criminals do something like 90 percent of the crimes in America. Clearly the revolving doors of the criminal justice system create hundreds of thousands of victims of crime. To say nothing of the taxes the people are stuck with to support these repeat offenders and the parasites feeding off of the criminal justice system.
Truth be know is the decent American family has a gun pointed at them and taxes are demanded to feed parasites and the scams they run on the citizen body. There's not much difference than a thug jacking up a candy store and a bunch of government parasites jacking up the citizens.
Let it be known that criminals are the tool that feeds government parasites and you better not mess with any of them unless you have all your ducks in a row. The parasites in the criminal justice system are desperate because they know very well that they can not get a job that takes care of them as they have in the criminal justice system.
Kind of makes the old term, "takes one to know one" clear when we talk about criminals.

"[It is] lawful for a man to kill a thief who has not in the least hurt him, nor declared any design upon his life, any farther than by the use of force, so to get him in his power as to take away his money, or what he pleases, from him; because using force, where he has no right to get me into his power ... I have no reason to suppose that he who would take away my liberty would not, when he had me in his power, take away everything else."
- John Locke, Second Treatise on Government, 1690

Take away a man's money may very well cause that man's family to starve.
No one can take away a man's money with out force, that he needs to feed his family.
Criminals are not always goons and thugs whom are junkies and other animals that feed on the decent folks who earn an honest living by productive work. They happen to also be criminals who are using laws and or making laws to satisfy their own self serving needs, coming off as government to serve". They serve nobody but themselves and they know it.
Folks we have a huge problem in this country of
The United States of America with parasites feeding off the decent people.

For those of you who may not have read David's column in the Examiner

“But surely I'm not suggesting anyone's life is worth mere merchandise, or the contents of a cash register?”

David,

I agree. I would not suggest a human life is worth the contents of a cash register. However, any idiot who walks into a convenience store and threatens to kill the manager over $35.00 in the register has placed a value on his own life - $35.00 – and deserves to go straight to hell with that price tag securely affixed to his left big toe.
