Can someone tell me what the hell a Department on Aging is and why they can conduct random "welfare checks" on people that end in an 82 year old woman's TASERING?

They saw her THROUGH A WINDOW swinging a hammer around and even though she wasn't hurting anybody, they went in so that she WAS, and tased her? WTF?

tasing really is getting out of hand, i would bet on them being outlawed in the upcoming years.

So let me get this straight. Swinging a hammer inside your home is a crime now? :eek:

They've sold lethal force under the guise of non-lethal force. Up is down; down is up...BOO, terra, terra, terra...

If a lawman ever tazered me, it would be a vendetta against the state. that would be the last straw for me.

It is all about CONTROL.
Submit, comply, obey OR ELSE.

"They hate us because we're rich and we're free..."

I'd like to see a show of hands... Which of you considers himself rich and free???

I'll go first: I am not rich and I certainly don't feel free.

Maybe someone could define those terms for me.
