Because if You Don't We're Going to Hurt You

This is another flagged video, meaning you need to sign up to watch it. [More]

It's the tasing of the pastor we talked about earlier.

You WILL obey the state. Even if you're not doing anything to harm anyone. They simply cannot allow you to get away with disobeying. Because others might get the idea they can get away with it, and then where would we be?

As we've seen time and again, disregarding the law is the exclusive province of those who rule us. As an aside, I've seen some sites discussing this where the prevailing sentiment in comments would just sicken your heart.

Standing up for your rights, alone and outnumbered, is viewed as "asking for it," and when you get "it" for all to see, why it's better than a damn WWF cage match.

I showed that video to a co-worker when I first saw it a few weeks back. We had recently been on a business trip and had driven through that exact checkpoint. Her response was "Well, if he had just let them search his car..."
I just kinda let me eyes glaze over at her response. The Matrix has that one.

parasites that damage or kill the host are selected against. nature, left to her own devices, has no quarter for them.

it requires the tolerance of the complacent for such as this to survive.

and that requires faith in man, instead of god.

I saw this video several weeks ago. The one thing I noticed is how wide open the area is and how there isn't much cover should anyone come under long range attack. Just something I noticed.

If anyone has trouble viewing movie files with the extension .flv or .mp4 I can highly recommend using the free VLC player. It is a free, open source media player that is "clean" and is available as a portable app that can be run from portable media such as usb drives.

To completely uninstall the portable version, simply delete the directory!

The portable version of VLC may be downloaded from:

Thanks for the help David Hamel, it doesn't work like they say, click on "Save Link As", but "Save Target As" does.

That said, I agree with straightarrow, these goddamned nazi bastards should be killed.

His screams...
No sleep tonight for me.
I would stop 100 yards before such a checkpoint, only for a minute, and continue on my way through it without being challenged, I'm sure. Oh, definitely.
I found the website for the Yuma border patrol sector. Should we bother to send complaints, or to the Arizona legislature or governor? If they objected, this sadistic sh-- wouldn't be happening... There's another video of apparently the same checkpoint, in daylight, so they only order the man repeatedlt to park in "Secondary" to be searched, he refuses, he simplay asks to be allowed to go on his way, they threaten to break the windows with nunchuks but there are too many witnesses backing up. They accuse him of being a terrorist, threaten him some more, buyt then let him leave, after some passsive-aggressive blocking his way.

They hold him there, and threaten him with a ticket from the real cops for "blocking a highway."
The arrogance. He recites the names from nametags he can see on the tape.
A patriot with big brass ones, man.

Defender said...

I've included the video link in an email to my congressman. If I hear anything I'll share it. Again, if he cared, this wouldn't be happening. He's Eric PATRIOT Act Cantor. Don't guess I'll waste my keystrokes any more.

As I said at checkpoint USA and here previously 'there is nothing happening here that can't be cured by some tall trees and short ropes.

straightarrow said...

anonymous, I didn't exactly say that. I mentioned what I noticed.

Who knows who might have noticed the same thing too? Maybe a drug cartel attack team escorting a shipment?

Shouldn't be too hard for them. There is a Hell of a difference in ganging up on an unarmed individual and facing a determined armed enemy who has as many troops as you do, and probably have trained harder at combat than beating up helpless people and strutting around. (Damn, when did our law enforcement turn into WWII Italians.)

Of course, somebody with a grudge may have noticed the same thing I did also. Flat level open ground, capable of concealing dismounted men, thin walled trailer good only for concealment but not cover and the propensity of certain parties to congregate in a tight group while fucking with citizens.

As I said, who knows who noticed the same thing I did? But, I didn't say they should be killed, I just noticed how easy it would be for determined angry people to do.

Which, of course, begs this next question. Why would these stupid sonsofbitches keep manufacturing angry abused people? Some of them just may become determined to do something about that anger. It doesnt' seem like a smart way to serve the public, does it? Ok,ok, two questions.

I just emailed the governor of Arizona Jan Brewer and assured her, in a very concerned and gentlemanly fashionm, that the Border Patrol abuses will keep me from visiting her state as long as they are allowed to continue. Those thug agents are in no danger from me, but neither are Arizona hotels, restaurants and attractions from any flu germs my money might be contaminated with.
If ARIZONA residents want to put up with this, it's up to them.

She's had plenty of time to object before now, come to think of it. Could she be THAT insulated from goings-on in her state?
Our U.S. Senators and congressmen too, since it IS a federal operation. The Supreme Court said the internal checkpoint itself is fine. That should tell us something.
They seem determined to have us engage Plan R.
Will they be too busy in hearings over Gitmo and the CIA to do anything else? Gridlock is GOOD.
