The Law IS The Law

The Government is tightening its noose every day now.

Yesterday, we showed how Grandmas (The Police State Cracks Down on Grandmas) were being strip searched, incarcerated, given ankle tags and put on curfews for such acts as selling a goldfish to a boy and not wanting to have an old companion dog put to sleep.

Today we look at the other end of the spectrum: children.

There has been a rash of lemonade-stand shutdowns in the US.  So far this year, there have been numerous including kids' stands shut down in San Francisco, Texas, Wisconsin, Iowa and Oregon.  The latest came recently in Georgia when three young girls tried to set-up a lemonade stand to raise money to go to a waterpark.

The full story can be seen here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed8O7b0TmF4&feature=player_embedded):

Kelly Morningstar, the Chief Law Enforcer in the City of Midway states in the video, "The law's the law".  Way to shrug off assaulting kids with guns to make them shut down their lemonade stand, Kelly.  She'll do excellent once the work camps start.  The genocide IS the genocide, right Kelly?  Just doing your job and all that...

Whatever Happened to Keeping the Peace?

The police in the US used to be called "Peace Officers" and they were tasked with "keeping the peace".  But, somewhere along the line they all changed to "Law Enforcers" and now they just "enforce laws" often disturbing the peace in the process.

This, as some Grandmas found out, becomes a bit of a problem - especially when the governments have made everything illegal.

Big government has millions of rules and regulations. It also requires a license for virtually every activity one would want to pursue. And of course many things you might want to pursue that don’t bother anyone else are outright forbidden.

It’s no wonder things ended up like this: a literal police state with law “enforcement” ready to shut you down and fine you for not getting all the proper permissions. (or ready to break into your house and gun you down if they so much as suspect you are enjoying yourself in some way they haven’t sanctioned).

The same people who cheer when the guns are pointed at “druggies” may think twice about the role of law enforcement when the same guns are pointed at kids with lemonade stands. 

Now, the guns may not be literally aimed at the kids, but it’s the same adults with the same power to coerce, fine and ultimately imprison who are pushing the kids around. 

Many police departments across the US are being reduced or closed due to lack of money to pay for them.  Yet, they seem to have plenty of time to shut down lemonade stands and to stop you and demand payment for going 10 mph over the speed limit.

That is because the role of the police is just now as another tax revenue generator for the government.  That and ensuring that no small businesses can compete with the large multinationals who own the US Government.

Preparing Kids for a Life of Submission and Slavery

Shut Down on Charges of Attempted EntrepreneurshipThese acts against children by the police serve to prepare them for a life wherein all of their actions are overseen and controlled  by the police and the government.

They might as well get used to it now, because it only gets worse as you get older.  Soon they will be subjugated to 12 years of government indoctrination where they will be taught to submit to authority and memorize false information about history.

After that, they will be put into debt in college which is not much more than a voluntary low security prison.  And then sent off into the working world to spend the remainder of their lives paying off their debts.

Lemonade Stand Closures Show Why the US Economy is Crumbling

There are numerous reasons the US economy is crumbling but not least of which are all the taxes, rules and regulations one must adhere to in order to start or operate a business.

According to the news video above, in order for the three girls to operate a lemonade stand they must pay the government mafia $50/day and $150/year.  Besides being outright extortion, it's obviously just not worth it.

Millions of other businesses in the US are never started each year for the same reason.

Is it any wonder so many entrepreneurs and hard working people are leaving America for Latin America, Asia and other destinations?

Where does policewoman Morningstar live?

I'm an attorney and anyone who says 'The law is the law' has very limited familiarity with how the law is created and enforced. As far as how the law the created there typically will be a period of some years in which ambiguity exists in the law. This is apt to resurface if subsequent legislation or court decisions alter the interpretation of the legislation. For LEO there are also laws concerning the lawful use of force and what qualifies as a lawful search and questioning. There are also laws as far as what amounts to reasonable suspicion and probable cause. Yet somehow these laws are set aside when they become inconvenient. Then there is the enormous amount of discretion that prosecutors have in decided whether or not to bring charges, prosecute, accept a plea bargain or drop charges. Then again judges also have a considerable amount of discretion. All of this is to say that the law is little better than those who enforce it. There are only so much resources and when LEO go after children children selling lemonade then they are in dereliction of duty. Please don't tell me 'the law is the law' as if it is written in stone. We are way beyond the Ten Commandments here.
