Fuck the lame LEA pricks who whine about not being able to stop someone bringing in a planeload of drugs without being able to invade the privacy of every person on the face of the earth. Am I supposed to believe that I have knowledge of when and where major drug shipments are taking place, simply by virtue of hanging out as a musician, yet the LEA's are incapable of finding out the same information by being competent in their profession? Barf City...

If memory serves me correctly then the above was written by the John Gilmore cleverly disguised as TruthMonger who railed mightily against the LEAs for claiming lack of resources and manpower for battling the 4 Horsemen despite the fact that LEAs always seem to have all the time and energy needed to attempt to imprison the grandmothers of our great nation who dare to plug a stranger's parking meter for him or her. I am always amazed that the LEA pleas for increased funding are generally based upon their own lack of effectiveness. i.e. "We are so lame that even with the current mountain of money and resources at our fingertips we cannot catch criminals who are much smarter than us." Perhaps the solution to crime is to fire the current LEAs and hire the criminals to replace them. Not that I am a troublemonger... !TroubleMonger
