Yes, many people are in prison for minor offenses or are mentally unstable and other major criminals walk free. The crime began to get out of control in L.A. more than thirty years ago and just now they are beginning to get a grip on it. The same thing happened in NYC. Is this the result of incompetence and sloth or part of a plan to empty out the cities and destabilize the society?
Nevertheless, there are good cops on the beat who are not at fault for these problems. They have their hands tied a lot of times to deal with real criminals, yet it seems that the Justice Department has money to burn when it comes to cracking down on "hate crimes" or tax evasion.
When the time comes to put the screws to Trads, I don't think the action will come from the sheriff or city cop. I don't see Trads being hauled away in Army vehicles to FEMA camps, although that is a possibilty; look at what happened to those Mormons in Texas a few years ago. No, I think if the Powers That Be decide to shut up Trads it will be much more insidious. I think our passports will be taken away, bank accounts frozen, credit denied, schools closed or kids forced to attend public school instead of home schooling, web sites will be shut down, etc. They don't want to make martyrs out of us.
