We're the Only Ones Impulsive Enough

A Lomita sheriff's lieutenant has pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges stemming from his shoplifting arrest at a Torrance home improvement store, prosecutors said Wednesday...

Lum, 51, must attend 20 impulse-control counseling sessions before he returns to Torrance Superior Court for sentencing on Aug. 10, Thompson-Bell said. [More]

"Impulse control."

Good grief. How about the guy has no ethics or integrity? How about he's a corrupt and evil parasite that the state has been inflicting on the citizens for a dozen years?

What do you think Lum's impulse control would have been like had one of us non "Only Ones" fled from him and then scuffled? And do you think we'd have been offered a deal?

Every example like this serves to increase my confidence that I perceive things correctly. There's the government, and a couple of rungs down there's employees of the government, and then at ground level with the dirt and the worms, there's you and me.
Seems that violent criminals AND those who are supposed to control them, both get a pass. Be prepared for the $200 fine if your tiny toddler throws a candy wrapper out the car window, however. In some places, $2,000. Because the police will tell you that, unlike their shoplifting, litter costs ALL of us.
Recall the Virginia Beach copnazi who told a teenager holding a melting ice cream cone out her car window and letting it drip in the street is "littering." He told her to get rid of it. She dropped it. He gave her at least TWO citations, I believe.
During WWII, actual Nazi sailors used to go for shore leave in Va. Bech and Norfolk. People were more innocent then; believed they were Swedish.
If German Nazis can pass for Swedes, how hard would it be for an American Nazi to pass for a cop?
