The Police State Strikes Again
by Big Dog on Mar 13, 2013 at 16:39 Political
A woman in New Jersey was at a meeting to protest her property tax assessment which was done by a contracted agency. She expressed her displeasure (and quoted the Constitution) because her home was assessed without anyone ever entering it to appraise it.
She was told to sit down and shut up and listen. Then, employees of the assessment company escorted her out of the building. An earlier report indicated he made a threat about her assessment being even higher (a threat to screw her over by increasing her assessment because she protested).
The county assessor called the police and said she threatened to bring a gun back to the meeting, a claim she denies. Someone gave the police her car tag number and she was tracked down and arrested for making a terroristic threat (a BS charge) and was told she had to surrender her firearms of her bail would be set too high for her to pay.
The police took her two handguns for “safe keeping” which likely means she will never see them again.
This is how the tyrannical police state is unfolding. The state makes a claim and the citizen is arrested. Were any of the people at the meeting interviewed to check the veracity of the claim? Did the police find out if she ever said she would bring a gun back?
She claims that she never said the word gun and never made any threats. She claims that the assessor and the worker for the company were the ones acting out.
If this woman is telling the truth, and there is no reason right now to believe she is not, then her rights have been trampled on. This is how tyranny works. Make an example out of someone and others will fall in line. It matters not how this ends up because the others at the meeting got the message as intended.
I hope that she is exonerated and gets her firearms back.
But, if the police investigate and find that the assessor and the assessment worker were the ones acting out will THEY be arrested and charged with making terroristic threats? The guy who threatened that her tax assessment would be higher should be at the top of the list.
If the assessor is found to have acted inappropriately then she should be fired.
Perhaps the homeowner will have grounds for a lawsuit that will bankrupt the township and the company that employs the assessor.
How long before the actions of the tyrannical government lead to an uprising? I think this is what government wants but I also think it is a dangerous path to take.
I hope it never comes to this but we need to pray for the best and expect the worst.
Especially with tyranny at all levels of government.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Sorry, it’s already over. There will be little to no “investigation.” She will never, ever, see her guns again. If she is lucky, the terrorist charges will be dropped. More likely, she will be presented with a plea deal.
The lesson is very, very clear: if you DARE to question this government, you WILL be punished, and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it.
Ogre, there is something that can be done, but it requires rousing the masses of the people out of their Directv stupor- and perhaps that is not possible without hijacking the signal.
When you speak of a police state, you really have to speak of the elephant in the room- the 1.6 BILLION rounds of ammo the DHS has purchased, along with the 7,000 new assault rifles.
Even the left has now taken notice, with Snopes.com confirming that the Social Security Administration has procured 174,000 hollow-point bullets for 300 agents. That’s a lot of ammo.
And that is just the beginning-
Why does the Social Security Administration need ammo????
They might be preparing for when the system runs out of money…
