Challange to all drug fighters and illegalizers

There is an honorable way to win the wars on drugs and guns, and
all the other wars that are currently being waged against the
American people and their freedoms such as the wars on gambling
and prostitution, and the thousands of other laws that
criminalize peaceful behavior and basic human rights. Every
person who advocates any of these prohibition wars or laws should
be required to meet with a defender of freedom on the Field of
Honor. I suggest pistols at point blank range so that none of the
war mongers can weasel out. Thus, every war advocate would be
given a choice to volunteer for combat or shut up.

One volunteer from each side will meet on the Field. When that
contest is over, another will begin. The war will be over and the
winner determined when one side runs out of volunteers. There
will be no civilian casualties or innocent victims. Likewise,
there will be no property damage or destruction. And, the
taxpayers will no longer be forced to pay a trillion dollars
every year to prosecute these dirty, prohibition wars.

I predict that this war will be the shortest war in history with
an easy victory for freedom and very little blood. Why? Because
requiring the war mongers to fight will cause 99% of all the drug
fighters, gun grabbers, and other illegalizers to voluntarily disappear.
It would be like turning on a light in a dark room and watching the
cockroaches run for cover. Why? Because enemies of freedom, like
all other violent thugs, are not honorable people. Their idea of a
fair fight is to employ a dozen government goons to point a
dozen guns at one head.

A sure way to win and prevent all wars against freedom is to
require the war advocates to fight. In fact, that requirement
would end all wars. Would President Obama meet on the Field of
Honor with President Assad? Would Bush do combat with Saddam?
Would Clinton fight Milosevic to the death? Would anyone of those
clowns send their children to fight in any of their wars to
overthrow governments, steal natural resources, and impose
democracy? No, but they would gladly donate other people's lives
and money to wage their wars.

Contrary to what is taught in government controled schools and
media, Freedom is not thousands of pages of laws, taxes, rules,
regulations, licences, permits, fees, and mandates. Freedom is
the absence of government control. Freedom means that there are
only three laws, the natural laws that prohibit assault, theft,
and disturbing the peace. Freedom means that peaceful human
beings who exercise their natural rights to life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness are not criminals. Freedom means that
the police are only authorized to arrest real criminals who
commit real crimes.

Drug fighters, gun grabbers, and other illegalizers are criminals
because they kill, assault, rob, arrest, and even murder peaceful
human beings. They are also terrorists because they target
civilians.

In fact, the people who founded this country were smugglers, gun
owners, and tax resistors who did not recognize the authority of
any government to interfere with honest trade, peaceful behavior,
or the right to bear arms. Ultimately, they refused to be stopped
and searched for guns and contraband. These facts are the origin
of the Second and Fourth Amendments, the heart and soul of this
Republic. Thus, drug fighters, gun grabbers, and their fellow
illegalizers are traitors in addition to being violent criminals
and terrorists.

The Execution of Denis Reynoso

By all accounts, Denis Reynoso was a good guy, well-loved by his family
and friends, and well-liked by his neighbors. He was a peaceful person
who respected his fellow humans. So, why was he shot and killed by the
Lynn Police while he was in his home caring for his two young children?

According to newspaper reports, the police department received a noise
complaint and sent three cops to respond (Why is it necessary to send
three armed men to respond to a simple noise complaint?). When the
police arrived, all was quiet. Apparently, Mr. Reynoso had had a brief
argument with someone outside his home and then went back inside. The
cops went to his home and knocked on the door. No one answered. Instead
of going away, the cops forced their way into Mr. Reynoso's home and
proceeded to shoot and kill the defenseless dad when he objected to
their violent and criminal behavior.

Unfortunately, this execution was not an isolated event. There was the
cold-blooded murder of Michael Addesa, a man suffering from depression
who was not bothering anyone when he was fatally assaulted by a Lynn cop.
And, there have been several other senseless killings by the police.
Over the past decade or two, the Lynn Mayors and city councilors have
allowed the creation of a Frankenstein monster. Officer Friendly has
been replaced by Officer Mean, Officer Bully, and Officer Psychopath.
How did this happen?

The police are supposed to be peace keepers. They are supposed to help
resolve disputes between neighbors. They are supposed to de-escalate
potentially violent situations. They are never supposed to introduce
violence into a peaceful situation. They are supposed to serve and
protect the people, not bully and stomp on them. (Of course, they never
bully and stomp on members of the ruling class.) How did we evolve
into a full-blown police state?

It happened so gradually that most people didn't see it. After several
decades of moving in the wrong direction of enacting more unjust laws
that criminalize innocent activity, the average American now unknowingly
commits three felonies a day. The authorities can now convict anyone of
a "crime". In the words of Lavrenti Beria, Stalin’s chief of secret
police: “Show me the man, and I will find you the crime.”

As a result of the constant erosion of freedom together with the
militarization of the police and the creation of thousands of SWAT
teams, innocent Americans are routinely being treated like they are
worse than murderers. After several decades of "getting tough" on
"crime", we have adopted the Nazi policy of "Zero Tolerance" and the
totalitarian policy of "Obey or Die". These fascist policies attract
bullies and sociopaths like flies to excrement.

These issues need to brought out into the open because sunshine is a
good disinfectant. I suggest a public meeting where those who oppose
this fascist crap are allowed to speak. And, a public debate between a
defender of the current police state and a principled opponent. In the
words of the poet John Milton: "Let Truth and Falsehood grapple; who
ever knew Truth put to the worse, in a free and open encounter?"

We also need to establish a Civilian Review Board with the power to fire
any cop who behaves like a stormtrooper. It is ridiculous that the police
are allowed to investigate and judge themselves.

A man's home is supposed to be a refuge, an island of peace, a safe
place to enjoy his family and friends, and his solitude. In fact, the
principle that a man's home is his castle dates all the way back to
Magna Carta in the year 1215. Not even the King could enter the home of
the poorest person unless invited. This principle became part of the
Rights of Englishmen and was later exported to America in the form of
the Fourth Amendment. Let's not allow it to die in Lynn.

"The right most valued by all civilized men is the right to be left
alone." –- Justice Louis Brandeis.
