Will America Replay The Fall of the Roman Empire? Why is America like the Roman Empire? Because it has garrisoned its troops all over the world? That's one reason, but only one. Because Americans are like Romans? Some are; some are like the Roman Senators of the fifth century, one of the most rapacious and ruthless ruling classes that ever held power. Think Mafia. For the amount of wealth: think billionaires today. Perhaps other Americans have begun to understand this: Obama's election would indicate that. However, the selfish class is fighting hard to keep its privileges.

Let me see if I've got this straight. A BLOG posting, on a local news site, recites an unanswered, civil, lawsuit. Of course, we all know, a complainant can make any claim they want. We all know that complainants NEVER exaggerate, fib or outright lie in an attempt to shake the money tree. Knowing all of this, we have many peace loving posts making veiled (and many outright) threats against police in general. Because, you know, their all "pigs" and every claimed wrong comes from those as pure as the wind-driven snow. Apparently, the consensus is cops & their families should be murdered in their homes at night.
All of this from a blog post.
What is the fascination with calls for murder and people demanding others are "strung up". Does calling for violence, without any facts, help some overcome their feelings of inadequacy in real life? The reactions to this post are sickening. Not that most of you making threats will even understand where I'm coming from. If the user base can generate four plus pages of violent proclamations based off of nothing more than a blog post and unanswered court filing, how coukd anyone expect those same posters to employ reasoning? You know, actually know what you think you know?
Yes, yes, I know. I'm a shill, dis-info agent and all that horse#.

About 8% to 10% of police I have had to deal with, over the course of my life, have been interested in doing their job. The rest were thugs.
