This is why every town in the USA should be better armed than a 3rd world country. As soon as some of these mistakes are fatal to those who can't read house numbers, they will stop.

This is a small price to pay for breaking up a ring of criminals bringing the killer weed across the country. So what if you have to terrorize innocent people and maybe shoot a few of them and their damn dogs? This is what America WANTS!!!!!! America WANTS the drug war.

H.L. Mencken said "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard"

So give it to them good and hard. Until they cry "enough!"

Interesting. In this post, there is none of that vitriolic language that’s been in the headlines since the Arizona shooting. There is no name calling. Nothing about distrusting the government. No talk of targeting anyone. No finger pointing by one party about how the other party is wrecking the country. Nothing about a “Second Amendment solution”. No “Don’t Tread on Me” symbolism. Nothing about watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants. Just a simple news item reporting an increasingly common event in an ordinary American city involving ordinary American citizens in their own ordinary American homes.

So, would someone please explain to me why my jaw is tensely locked, my fists clenched tight, and my heart pounding in my chest?

I think the media and politicians have it backwards. The vitriolic rhetoric is not inciting anger. The anger is inciting vitriolic rhetoric. And swearing to tone down the language isn’t going to do a goddamn thing to quell the anger.

The politicians don’t get it. People are not falling for the line anymore that everything is fine. They might not have any answers, but at least they know something’s wrong. Of course, the politicians are banking on the current dark mood as being temporary, so for them it’s business as usual.

History teaches us that the opposite reaction will occur. The machines of the state will increase, not stop. More laws (less liberty), more personnel, more firepower, bigger budgets, etc...

If an ordinary gang - not the DEA - did this, they would be held accountable for much more than an "apology." That is the inherent problem with government and giving anyone institutional immunity for their actions: There is no damn accountability.
