Some Virginia Democrats want to ‘defelonize’ assaults on cops. [More]
I'm going to need to consult Mr. Benny on this one.

Why are cops special?

Why is assault special?

Why not just de-felonize everything?

After all, "Game of Thrones" was one of the most popular TV series ever created. How much more intense would it be if we could actually live it?

"Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of Warre, where every man is Enemy to every man; the same is consequent to the time, wherein men live without other security, than what their own strength, and their own invention shall furnish them withall. In such condition, there is no place for Industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain; and consequently no Culture of the Earth; no Navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by Sea; no commodious Building; no Instruments of moving, and removing such things as require much force; no Knowledge of the face of the Earth; no account of Time; no Arts; no Letters; no Society; and which is worst of all, continuall feare, and danger of violent death; And the life of man, solitary, poore, nasty, brutish, and short." -- Thomas Hobbes' "Leviathan", 1651
