Manifest Civility

The bears made that tombstone.

The cops pulled these dudes over and they popped the trunk of the car and they found ski masks, police scanners, body armor, maps, semi automatic weapons that were modified to go fully automatic with armor piercing rounds and extended banana clips and stuff. They found everything in the trunk of their car that basically said, ‘Oh these guys are on their way to rob a bank.’ When they arrested them, they could not get them for attempted bank robbery because the law says, ‘Hey man, we gotta catch you robbing a bank.’ Just because you’re driving around with police scanners and armor piercing bullets and ski masks doesn’t mean you’re gonna rob a bank. Practically it means you’re gonna rob a bank but the way our law works you have to rob a bank and then we’ll prosecute you for robbing a bank. And these guys got locked up for a little something something and when they got out they gave them back a lot of their police scanners and a lot of their shit that was their property. Fine. Then they rob the bank and then they had the North Hollywood shootout which was completely and utterly insane. But the point is this, we could not prosecute them for robbing a bank before they robbed a bank so how come when you get busted with more than a shoe box of marijuana or even a coffee can of marijuana you get intent to distribute? They don’t have to catch you distributing. Maybe I just like to stock up on weed. That’s insane. That’s an insane part of the law to me.

Foreign aid is taking money from poor people in rich countries and giving it to rich people in poor countries.
