I read in recent links that some of your sex offenders were given sentences of only ten years for doing some pretty dastardly things to children and teens. This poor sap Hussain gets almost as much time, seven years, for making a prank phone call, just because it inconvenienced the police.
Some years ago over here the federal government decided it would be a good idea to give surplus military equipment to local police forces. Try to imagine Barney Fife and Archie Bunker teamed up in an APC with a full auto .50 cal machine gun mounted on top. What could go wrong, eh?
WASHINGTON — Since President Obama took office, the Pentagon has transferred to police departments tens of thousands of machine guns; nearly 200,000 ammunition magazines; thousands of pieces of camouflage and night-vision equipment; and hundreds of silencers, armored cars and aircraft.
