Tyrannical Process

This is getting to be a recurring problem.

Someone does something that's legal, but with a gun, the cops on scene say, "legal," detectives assigned to investigate the incident say, "legal," the Chief or Sheriff says, "legal," then...

The people who don't think owning a gun should be legal, let alone using one to protect yourself from their political fellow travelers, demand that the person who used their gun to protect themselves be arrested.
 
Corrupt district attorneys, who are always Democrats, file charges against the gun-owner and the gun-owner is arrested by a police force that didn't find enough evidence to charge them in their own investigation.

Then, after being arrested, sometimes thousands of dollars in bail and definitely many thousands of dollars in attorney fees... a jury agrees with the cops on scene.

Very rarely is it someone who has thousands of dollars to spend on their defense.

Bonus!  Once they've successfully defended themselves from the weaponized process, they get to be doxxed and harassed by the True Believers even further.

Something needs done and meekly purchasing insurance-but-not-insurance isn't a solution but a band-aid on a sucking chest wound.

If we could get a fucking judge to allow we have standing; this is definitely a chilling effect on the use of the civil right to self defense and protection of real property.

  1. They've been doing this since before George Zimmerman. Destroy someone's reputation, destroy their livelihood, destroy them monitarily, destroy their family.

    Prosecutors who pander to the people they are supposed to prosecute. Judges who 'rule' by emotion rather than the law.

    The media hounds and ghouls. No. Dogs have honor, even mad dogs. Ghouls even have some sense of decency. The media? There's no way to truly measure the depths of evil they have sunk to.

    You'd think the Justice Department would get involved, but,well, since the Clinton Era, it's been the Injustice Department.

    And we stand by and see it happen over and over again, shouting out our Cassandra-ish statements and no one listens...

    Damn. I've even managed to get me down.

  2. I've wondered if "lawsuit insurance" might be available for these sorts of contingencies.

    1. The purchase of insurance against this is just taking your financial punishment over a longer time.
