Self Defense

Black officer at Gates home supports arrest: "Gates reaction to Crowley, 'a little bit stranger than it should have been.'"

So, being a "bit stranger" in public, in front of an officer, is a crime in this country?

I musta missed that part of the Constitution.

Is eccentric now a misdemeanor? Is off-beat a public menace?

And now, "crime scene" witness Sgt. Leon Lashley decides that Gates' reaction was "a little bit stranger than it should have been."

Who the fuck is Lashley to make that determination? Are we at the sidewalk court stage now, where "some guy" tells us our fate?

The cops think you have a gun, so get one - it is now required, and if you are about to lose your liberty, pull the trigger. Word.
