Maybe Baltimore Students Should Protest At Home
Mar 13, 2018 Commentary, Second Amendment
Mayor Pugh of Baltimore has been busy wasting taxpayer money for things like removing Civil War Statues. Of course she, like all criminals, did the dirty work in the middle of the night under cover of darkness. She is now working on wasting one-hundred thousand dollars of hard earned taxpayer money. Read on to see how she plans to accomplish this.
This mayor is as inept as the others and is one in a long line of alleged leaders who is helping Baltimore completely transform into the crap hole it has been destined to become for so long.
This is what Democrat Leadership (an oxymoron no doubt) does to any place. It sucks the life out and leaves mind numbed zombies shackled to the teat of government.
So the mayor is working on another way to waste a lot of taxpayer money. She has decided to get dozens of buses to take school children to Washington DC so they can protest at an anti-gun rally. Yes, the mayor is WASTING tax dollars, the money government forces you, at the point of a gun, to give to it, to send a bunch of kids to DC so they can protest against firearms.
Let us keep in mind that a number of these kids have records that involve illegal firearms, come from broken homes where firearms are illegally kept and they live in a violent city that is violent because they and the other residents use firearms ILLEGALLY.
These children who are going to DC to protest firearms and violence are the same children who left class not long ago and rioted in the City. The riot left police cars damaged, buildings and businesses burned to the ground and a number of police officers injured. Yet, these Tide Pod eating morons are going to protest violence.
Perhaps Mayor crap for brains should save the 100 thousand dollars it will cost to bus these kids and work on the heating systems in the schools. Let us not forget that the city could not keep kids warm this winter because it could not afford to keep the heaters in good repair. One-hundred thousand dollars will fix a lot of heaters.
It is also important to remember that the city is full of gun crime. These crimes are committed by people who are not legally allowed to have a firearm with firearms that are obtained ILLEGALLY. Hell, just this week a man was shot to death by a few Baltimore thugs while he was driving his car in a funeral procession.
Maybe the mayor should stay in Baltimore and protest the way she and her administration is running the City. Maybe she should have them protest Democrat policies that reward single parent houses and enslave people to the government. Perhaps she should work on getting her own failures under control before spending OUR damned money on this nonsense.
I demand that the state investigate this misuse of taxpayer money and prosecute those who spent it in this fashion. If that does not happen then we should all seriously work on removing the idiots from office (we should be doing that anyway) and lowering our own tax burdens. The less you pay the less they can waste.
This summer when all these little protesters are sitting in summer school and the air conditioning does not work I don’t want to hear them, their parents or the politicians tell us how horrible it is and that they need more money to fix it. You tell them I said they spent the money for the AC on a bus trip to DC. Then tell them to shut up and get back to work.

Do They Really Need a Warrant?
Nov 17, 2007 General
Some groups are up in arms (pardon the pun) because the Boston police want to search homes for guns without a warrant. On the surface this sounds like a bad thing and if this were the whole truth it would be. The article goes on to describe that police want to search homes without a warrant after asking permission from the homeowner. If a police officer asks if he may search your home and you say yes he does not need a warrant. You are free to say no.
I will admit that the plan to search children’s bedrooms has flaws. The idea is that parents are so fed up and afraid of the gun violence that they will allow the searches and a warrant will not need to be obtained. In order to get a warrant the police would need probable cause, if they ask the homeowner and are allowed to search they do not need the warrant or probable cause. I would not allow the police to search my home without a warrant. I have nothing to hide but I will not give them access without probable cause and they need that to get a warrant. What will happen to the homeowner if they have other illegal items? Suppose they illegally copy DVDs and they are in the open? A warrant would specifically state what is to be searched and what they may look for. If the homeowner lets them in they can arrest for anything they find. I don’t condone illegal activity but I do not condone bypassing the rights people have. Of course, if someone is not bright enough to know his rights or to exercise them, perhaps he gets what he deserves. In any event, using fear to search a house is not a good way to conduct business.
The bigger issue here is why are there so many illegal guns in Boston and why are there so many shooting? Massachusetts has very tough gun control laws and the gun grabbers all tell us that the way to get guns off the streets by having these kinds of laws. If they are correct then there should be very few guns and very little gun violence. Perhaps there is some realization that criminals do not obey the law. As Thomas Jefferson noted in his Commonplace Book (quoting Cesare Beccaria), ‘Laws that forbid the carrying of arms… disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes… Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.’ [Federalist Patriot]
So how do so many guns end up in a state or a city in that state when the gun control laws are so strict that people get jail time for having BB guns? Obviously those who have little or no regard for the rule of law will not follow the law.
There are two issues here. Should the police be allowed to search without a warrant? No, unless of course the homeowner gives permission and only a fool would do that. Secondly, why is there a problem if gun control laws really work?
The founders recognized that we had an inherent right to carry arms in order to defend ourselves against invaders, the lawless and a tyrannical government. This is undeniable and clearly explained in their writings on the issue. We are also protected against unlawful search and seizure so it would be in the best interest of Boston homeowners to just say no…
