Upon arriving home at about 1:40 p.m., she found the animal control officers being unreasonable and milling about on her property — without a search warrant.

This incident has so many different abuses by the police that it is difficult to accurately list them all.  Every last argument used against the owner of the property was full of ignorance.  What shines a light on this whole scenario is the following statement:

The “salt in the wound” that the situation had become was the fact that the sheriff’s office officials were accompanied by volunteers from the local branch of the House Rabbit Society — a nationwide group comprised of people who, according to Bell, think rabbits need to be raised like small children.

…

When Bell told one of the four sheriff’s deputies on scene that she wasn’t comfortable with House Rabbit Society members being on her property, she said the deputy looked her in the eye and said, “It is what it is.”

Umm, the civilians had absolutely no authority to be on the property, and the property owner had every right to request their removal, warrant or not.  Here’s a quick list of issues, most of which were created by the actions of law enforcement or law enforcement was ignorant of the actual law.

• Claimed improper zoning, when in fact the property is zoned for agriculture.
• A dead rabbit was automatically cause for concern, with no regard for cause or time of death.
• Officers disconnected the cooling system raising the temperature in the barn.
• They disconnected the water system for the rabbits.

The last two actions by law enforcement provided the grounds for the abuse charge, of which I believe the warrant was based.  While waiting for the warrant police continued to attempt to trick her and extort her into surrendering her animals.  What was most telling was the abuse the animals received at the hands of the “professionals”.

For instance, 10-day-old babies “still in a nest box with their mommy” were wrapped in a towel and placed inside a cat crate and stood their mother on top of them.

“I looked at ‘em and I said, ‘You just issued a death sentence for those babies,’” Bell said, explaining that the mother would stomp the babies.

In response, the sheriff’s office employee said, “That’s their mom. Why would she do that?”

“Because they’re rabbits,” Bell replied.

The mother in a confined space wont be able to tell that those are her babies, instinct for survival is going to take over.  This also ignores the fact that the rabbits were relocated to a non air conditioned area, and left to live in their own feces and urine.

Sadly this is not the first story I have heard of animal rights activists lying and manipulating law enforcement for their own political game.  I had to fight to help a non-profit horse rescue fight charges of neglect, made by the owner of an animal whose horse was seized.  Seriously, the owner didn’t take care of her horse, had neither the facilities or money, and someone saw that it was extremely malnourished, lack of facilities, and called the police.  Charges were filed against her and the horse was seized.  She was found guilty and lost the horse permanently, she was even banned from ever owning horses again, however the hell that works.

The rescue while working to rehabilitate the horse, had a visit from the state vet regarding complaints of abuse and malnourishment.  She had spread a rumor online that the owner had killed the horse.  They seized all of his computers, cameras, and other office equipment he needed for day to day operations.  This was done because they could not find any physical evidence of abuse and the claim  was made that he was hiding it.  Some of the claims also included mass graves for horses and the like.  Much of the complaints was that the malnourished horses weren’t gaining their weight back overnight.  Instead of just getting them fat, he was properly rebuilding their muscle, fat, and digestive system as you would a human.  I have helped rescue a couple horses beginning to end, it takes time but the results are outstanding.  Not only that but the horse knows what you’ve done believe it or not and they love you for it. 

The whole issue damn near put him under and resulted in expenses that went to a bull crap legal fight than actually helping the horses.  It was private donations that kept him afloat since they took his computers in the middle of the grant filing season.  The individuals also damaged farm equipment and were vandalizing property, including the horses to make it appear to be his fault.  Two men were caught trying to sneak into the barn in the middle of the night.  One of the horses had been injured the previous night and required treatment every 4 hours so the owner was staying in the barn.  He surprised both of them and they ran off*.  He reported it and stated them as the probable cause of injury to the horse as well.  Thankfully in the case of this rescue, most of the officers knew the owner, it was very civil, the state vet was on hand during the whole event, and after it was over they told the complaining party to shut up.

The bottom line is groups like PETA, House Rabbit Society, and others file false claims that do nothing more than ruin law abiding citizens.  The use law enforcement to strip the law abiding of the rights.  The only harm that came to those animals were from the House Rabbit Society and law enforcement.  These laws are there to protect animals, but are too easily abused against the law abiding.  As I have had to explain lately, that guilty people sometimes going free isn’t a bug, it’s a feature to protect the law abiding.

State Sponsored Criminal Count: 19

Because the job of the police is to violate the rights of citizens based on their ignorance and then commit the very crimes they were supposedly ending.

H/T Alan.

*I found out about this just after the case was finally dismissed.  After which they stopped coming around.  When he first told me about it my response was, “I’ll bring my cot, AR, NVGs and stand watch in the barn till this is over.”  Then he told me they had since stopped, I was kind of disappointed and happy at the same time.  I kind of wanted to cause one of those little pricks to piss their pants for totaling the engine in the deuce and a half, by adding a seize agent to the oil.

So the level of brainwashing that has been inflicted upon our youth has been quite apparent over the past few weeks of reading the Washington State University news paper.  The first article is an effort to bring a little bit of Brittan right here to the heartland of America.

The Pullman Police Department will install security cameras in high
crime public areas in College Hill as a part of a two-year grant the
police department received from the United States Department of Justice.

The royal kicker though is what the editorial board admits in a following opinion piece.

The Daily Evergreen Editorial Board would like to urge students to
accept and support the installation of security cameras in Adam’s Mall.
The cameras will probably do little to deter crime as drunken brawlers
are unlikely to consider the fact that a camera is watching them.

(Emphasis mine.) They readily admit that the cameras will not deter crime.  The school continues to prohibit the ability for students to lawfully carry on campus and the paper is more than supportive against allowing lawful carry.  Yet they are more than willing to argue that students throw away their privacy for semblance of security.  It is a public place after all so really how much privacy should you have.  Well the editorial board obviously doesn’t care considering the following piece I saw in yesterdays paper.

Barring campus police from patrolling the most densely populated living areas on campus is a huge mistake.

Residence halls are not private residences. They are not houses
or apartments – they are more akin to hotels. They are places students
stay for a few short months, then leave for vacation, then come back to
again, then leave, return, leave for the summer and usually never return
afterward.

About 5 years ago while I was a student there was a court case involving unnecessary access by police to the residence halls.  The judge ruled that the police were not allowed access to the dorms except in an emergency.  The reasoning is that dorms were a residence much like an apartment building.  Evidently the editorial board is acting like their brethren the Brady Campaign in ignoring the reasoning behind the case.  The editors would prefer to ignore this much like CSGV disregards Heller and McDonald.

Further the comparison they use to a hotel fails their litmus test, not to mention their other excuses as well.  The police are not allowed to meander around the halls of a hotel without cause or warrant.  Their statements smack of a belief that the police exist to operate as an RA for the school.

RAs have complete access to each individual’s room within a
residence hall. They are the ones now expected to enforce the law within
the dorms. The only problem is, RAs are students like the rest of us.
They are subject to enjoying the same vices they are supposed to be on
the lookout for.

Police officers have years of training and experience when it comes to upholding the law. RAs do not.

The job of the RA is not to enforce the law, but to ensure the dorm rules are followed and mediate disputes.  If the law is broken it is the job of the police to investigate after the fact.  It is not the job of the police to prevent crime, that is the job of the populace at large.  In other words, fellow residents should be acting in a manner to aid in preventing crime.  The police have no duty to protect and it is the responsibility of the citizen to protect themselves and their property.

The Daily Evergreen Editorial Board is doing no good by attempting to destroy the rights of their fellow students.  Many fought long and hard to secure their right from the police unlawfully entering their place of residence.  While living in the dorms, many leave their doors open not out of want or an open door policy, but because it is so damn hot they need the air flow.  An officer walking up and down the hall would now be able to see into the room by incidental viewing.  He could also achieve this as they occupant gains entrance into their room and close the door behind them.  With so many laws and rules on the books now, why are you attempting to surrender one of your defenses from their abuse? 

While many college campuses swing a bit to the left, this over reliance on the state and belief that the police are the solution to all their problems is very disconcerting.  Doubly so when you consider the fact that they have not bothered to look into the context of why the push was made to throw officers out of the dorms.  The universities own rules as well as the expectation of privacy created the reasons the police were illegal within the dorms.  The Daily Evergreen Editorial board should examine its view on personal liberty and freedom and explain why they believe that college students should surrender it because they are attending school.  Because some students are criminals doesn’t make them all criminals and the law exists to protect the innocent, not catch the criminal.  That is not a bug, it’s a feature.

It’s been a while since I’ve talked about the TSA.  The reason for this is much along the same lines as Dave talked about here.  What I came across tonight though damn near caused me to crack a tooth my jaw clinched so tight. 

The DHS and the TSA has been constantly claiming the screenings are needed for our own safety, even the full search of a 6 year old girl.  They constantly use fear mongering tactics claiming that the terrorists will use any exploitable advantage given them.

To every complaint leveraged though they claim that their screeners are thoroughly trained and are thoroughly screened themselves.  So it must be completely unfathomable that a screener was busted today for distributing child pornography.

Federal agents also allege that Transportation Safety Administration Officer Thomas Gordon Jr. of Philadelphia, who routinely searched airline passengers, uploaded explicit pictures of young girls to an Internet site on which he also posted a photograph of himself in his TSA uniform.

Remember these are the people who are searching violating your wives and your children.  This individual, if he operated a body scanner, had at his disposal numerous images of people disrobed by the force of government.  The TSA is an out of control monster who has again and again abused the American people under the guise of protecting them.  It is reasonable to suspect at this point that the government itself is trying to empower these criminals, especially given the fact that the TSA has never stopped any terrorist attack.  The have however stopped US representatives on their way home, cause you know those congress critters are totally terrorists.  So here’s a list off the top of my head of things the TSA has done to different American’s under the force of government.

• Forced passengers to be felt up and viewed naked by a  child pornographer.
• Force passengers to be felt up and viewed naked by a convicted rapist.
• Stole from the luggage of passengers.
• Harass and humiliate a rape victim for refusing a pat down.
• Humiliate a woman over properly stored breast milk.
• Humiliate a cancer survivor covering him in urine.
• Humiliate a cancer survivor forcing her to expose her prosthetic breast.
• Humiliate a 4 year old with leg braces.
• Forcibly separate parents from children.  (Note they employ child pornographers, wonder why they separate parents from kids.  They claim it’s not policy but it’s happened enough.)

There are countless more incidents, I probably should start making my own counter called the TSA counter, cause you notice when dealing with the TSA how it always starts with, “The Stupid Asshole.”  I know of a couple ways that we could shut down the TSA, but none of them are really legal and well I’d rather avoid that route.  Something obviously needs to be done though.  The government is using the threat of force to hand ourselves and our children over to sexual predators.  Failure to comply will result in your ass heading to jail at worst, at best your walking home. 

The only thing I think we can do currently is to ostracize anyone who works for the TSA.  If you have a “friend” who works for the TSA, they’re no longer a friend.  Do not associate with anyone who works for the TSA, provide the bare minimum of interaction, and sure as hell tell them to leave you alone afterwards.  These are not your countrymen, these are not your friends, these are not patriots on the front line of the defense of liberty.  If anything they are the antithesis of the above.  A person who was any of those things would strive to defend your liberty, freedom, and safety from the government they are claiming to represent.

The bottom line is that the TSA is A Security Theater and all their claims about the strict professionalism of their employees is bull.  While some may remain professional, the bottom line is they still aren’t telling their bosses NO.  These searches are pointless, unnecessary and do nothing more than verify our subservience to the state.  To prove that point, if you voice your displeasure towards these practices you will receive special treatment.
