    In a world of slavery, freedom comes on a relative basis.

    Nothing surprising there. People in Berkeley live in a fantasy world.

    It is the state selected by the Free State Project and the freest state. However, the government still is oppressive.

    The county attorney's office is dropping charges against a man who tracked down a burglary suspect and held him at gunpoint until police could arrive.

    Dennis Fleming said he tracked down the man in his Farmington neighborhood and fired his gun into the ground to get the burglar to stop.

    Compared to MA, it undoubtedly is. Compared to where the country should be, there is still considerable work to do, IMO.
    Out of every one hundred men they send us, ten should not even be here. Eighty will do nothing but serve as targets for the enemy. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, upon them depends our success in battle. But one, ah the one, he is a real warrior, and he will bring the others back from battle alive.

    Duty is the most sublime word in the English language. Do your duty in all things. You can not do more than your duty. You should never wish to do less than your duty.

    That's good news. The Attorney is off the hook. Now it's time to discipline the Officer(s) who made the call to take him in and confiscate all of his guns.

    I spoke too soon. It looks like the Attorney is already playing "cover the cops ass"...

    "The facts available at the scene on Saturday supported the charge of felony reckless conduct, but subsequent facts discovered since have led me to believe that such a charge under these circumstances would be unjust," the Strafford County attorney said in a statement.

    Charges dropped against Farmington man who detained alleged burglar
    http://www.unionleader.com/article/2...WS03/120229969

    While he was anxious about being sent to prison, Fleming said earlier, he was overwhelmed by the support of his neighbors and from calls from around the state and country.

    Velardi reminded area residents to handle and use firearms responsibly, even in cases of self-defense. He added, "Firing a 'warning shot' around or near other people or dwellings can result in police involvement or even a criminal charge."

    One reason I like living rural!

    As Frost said, 'Good fences make good neighbors,' but distance between neighbors is serenity.

    Such a thing is to be expected in most any city or town, due to laws pertaining to discharging a firearm within city limits ... The exception is defensive use, and this was not.
    It was a warning shot, and is no different than having a ND inside your home/residence ... People often get charged for such things, and then the DA drops the charge once things have been reviewed.
    Let them keep thinking Ron Paul supporters are just a little army. Every military strategy manual in the world has examples of the bad things that happen to arrogant commanders of massive armies that underestimate the enemy. They all lose. We will win because the human heart, despite its detractors, is meant for truth and freedom.
