Relatives of a Chicago firefighter accused of hoarding a cache of weapons and Nazi paraphernalia defended him Saturday, saying he was a collector and not a "white supremacist."It doesn't matter if he only collected guns and militaria--this is Chicago, and the real Nazis will brook no competition.
Why does his unconstitutional arrest for gun possession entitle the authorities to rummage through all of his other property and make their findings public?
ReplyDeleteNotice how the writer immediately sets the tone in the first paragraph using words like "hoard" and "cache".
ReplyDeleteAs for the Nazi memorabila, I used to work with guy (call him Joe) like this. He had any amazing collection of Lugers and P-38s, and then an entire room full of non-weapon Nazi memorabilia (helmets, photographs, medals, awards, etc). You could spend hours in there just looking at everything.
The guys at work joked that if the police ever searched Joe's house, you would see "Nazi Arrested in GA."
Of course this is GA, not IL, so our rights are slightly more intact.
