So you think you are free? Government, Police or NWO goons stealing basketball hoops?

Eh who knows, It's on tape now, on the internet, maybe the internet will do it's job and make this go viral. I hope so, this kind of thing is so stupid to be wasting our tax money on.... I mean really, when crime goes up because the kids have nothing better to do than cause some trouble for kicks, who is to blame?

You ever see that X- files when they steal Moulder's basketball hoop? Lol.
America is down the tubes.

Now im sure there going to charge a small fee to reserve the basketball court for a hour at a time at the local park. You know the city has to cover all there expenses.

I can hear where you're going with this and I would be willing to go that route for a different cause, not over a basketball goal that I could easily replace. Things would get real ugly if people came out armed. I would prefer to fight or have a shootout over something more important.

I honestly don't think anything like that scenario will happen over something as seemingly benign as this, but I believe it should. If we can't put our foot down over the small things like this then nothing will get better because it is a slow encroachment. A little here and there, not a grab for the whole basket. Do you think a hundred years ago if they implemented the insane system of prohibitions, extra bureaucracy, licences, permits, laws and powers that people wouldn't have shot every authoritarian agent dead? The militias and all others who proclaim their vigilance to the constitution are all talk and no one, including myself, can ever fight back because NO cause will justify the use of violence in the masses eyes. To fight against what is seen in that video IS to become an enemy combatant to the state and while I am sure the police would leave the area, they would return, no matter the cause, with assault rifles, APC's and death waiting for the peons who had enough.

no. our government ain't free though.

After reading some of the comments to that first story, I can see how America is going in the toilet. They are making fun of someone for defending their rights. Yeah it's just a basketball pole, but it's the principle here that matters. They are literally ripping up a 60 yo pole that's been sitting in a cul de sac bothering no one, just cause they CAN.
Seems ridiculous to me.

I can understand where your coming from. I think one hundred years ago those THIEVES wouldn't have dared to do something like that.

I like to believe WE the people have some fight in US. I have know idea what it will take for US to unleash it, but I think the way things are progressing we'll find out soon enough.

It is just a matter of time. These types of occurrences used to be isolated but now everyone is feeling the overreaching government. eventually it will effect everyone personally, then maybe we might see some change in everyone.

I dont see the NWO part but what I do see is a blatant abuse of power by that woman officer or whatever she is..I hope she loses her job over this video!! Any decent person would leave them thier pole if they asked for it despite what the order or law or mandate or whatever caused the poles to be taken in the first place.. It would have been easier more cost efficent and respectful/tasteful just to let the people keep thier 60 year old pole that they obviously care about.....It's sooooooooooooooooooooooooo sad to see people treat each other bad for no reason other than it's my job (shaking head) as if thats a excuse

Thats what needs to happen in these situations. And I support a localized militia protecting the people from those state pigs

Wow. That woman told the man to go inside his house. She told him he could keep the pole then decided last minute that they were taking it anyway. Sounds like the kind of mind games they enjoy playing. I would be beyond furious. This seems like a relatively small event here but in the end it could become something on a grander scale. Say tptb want your house? Well, they send a team of people just like these to put you out and all you can do is stand in your yard screaming your constitutional rights. I think this is something to really note here. If they can do this and get away with it they will eventually do more and more.

I see this as a way for them to test the waters.. See how docile and pussified the average citizen really is. Today it's a basketball hoop, no big deal right? Tomorrow it's your car/house/life.

I'd be shocked if even 5% of the government is on the side of the average citizen. Politics is a game for sociopaths and snakes by nature.

If anyone is going to overthrow the government, it's going to be the will of the PEOPLE. That is if the sheeple aren't goaded into turning on each other instead.

That is pathetic, what a absolute waste of police time, energy and money, they should just leave ordinary citizens alone and go and get some real criminals.

Probably a deed restricted community and the basketball hoop owner didn't bother reading the restrictions.

I chalk this up to a big fat who cares.

This is nothing comparing to me getting a warning for parking right next to my house without a community parking permit. The next one will be towing.I lost my stupid permit and I am refusing to pay 35 dollars to get a new one just to parking right next to my house.

In Delaware the road easement is 10 feet and they have been telling people for the past year that everyone had to move things back 7 feet from the road. As much as I hate to say this but even though you own the property you just can't do whatever you want on a road easement because the government sees it as their property. Besides drivers what with their cell phones and texting just aren't as alert as they were 60 years ago so do your kid a favor and get the goal off of the street. But it was bs the way they were taking the goals they had a backhoe right there it would have been nothing to move the goals for the people.

I'm sticking with you on this one. As my city began to sprawl in the past two booms traffic in what was "the country" is now the same as the city was.

So code enforcement was lax. There were laws you could not put a hoop on a telephone pole, but people did.
There are setback rules for building for any number of reasons. That is why you don't see houses built right at the sidewalk anymore.

I do think that there is an attempt to place all sidewalks, streets, airports, and anythig that has to do with transportation under administrative law (dictator law) which is worth a fight though.

I agree with you. As long as you are not being taxed RATE for that easement.
