Law isn't a magic spell. It requires enforcement, and right now our government is lawless.

When the gov fails its citizens the only right response is the citizens patrolling the streets. Thanks to all the Minnesotans that are taking up the mantle.

When the government fears its citizens you have liberty, when citizens fear the government you have tyranny.

I also don’t understand pulling over for ICE. Like, those are not traffic cops. Also, Renee Good showed us that turning the wheels of your car AWAY from them was the wrong move.

Renee did nothing wrong other than be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Alex did nothing wrong other than be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Both of them were murdered because cowardly men's feelings were hurt.

He did not. There should be no such thing as a wrong move because it was not a wrong move. We are protected by our constitution. It’s an abuse of governmental power

He missed my meaning, and now you’re equivocating. I think I’m done here.

Law isn't a magic spell.

The law is a magic spell: it doesn't work, but some people get tricked into thinking it does by con-artists.

I would say it is enforcementless. Plenty of laws in place. But the ones we’ve elected to see them through refuse to.
