Police state unnecessary

ASHINGTON — In the near future the noise you hear in your outside trash container might not be that pesky raccoon or the neighbor’s dog, but the FBI, looking for evidence to link you to some criminal or terrorist activity. That would be particularly true if you have had any contact knowingly or unknowingly, socially or otherwise with someone the bureau finds suspicious. If past experience is any guide, that could be nearly anyone.

According to recent news reports, officials of the national police force are preparing for another assault on our civil liberties. They are planning to give their agents more leeway to intrude into the lives of those they decide need further looking into by amending the domestic operations manual that sets out guidelines for conducting investigations. They would have enhanced ability to search not only household trash but also databases and could assign surveillance teams to scrutinize every aspect of American lives — shades of J. Edgar Hoover and his infamous Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO).

At the risk of overstating the case, that’s just plain scary.

Link that with reports of a mysterious FBI investigation into the activities of peace advocates and politically active labor organizers, and the past is not only prologue, it never went away. The Washington Post reported that the probe involving raids on seven homes and the issuance of subpoenas for 23 people last fall has triggered a major protest at the Justice Department. The investigation apparently is examining possible material support for Colombian and Palestinian groups designated as terrorists, the newspaper said.

There is no question that the bureau’s efforts to refocus its mission to counterterrorism have been largely successful. So much so that President Barack Obama has called off his search for a new FBI director and plans to seek a two-year extension of Robert Mueller’s 10-year term, which expires in September, despite the fact that the bureau’s surveillance tactics of advocacy groups and mosques have been severely criticized. An inspector general’s report four years ago said that the FBI had frequently misused so called national security letters that permit agents to obtain phone and other records without first receiving court permission.

Why the FBI would need an expansion of warrantless authority is unclear. There is enough existing machinery that allows agents and their supervisors to obtain expedited court permission for searches, especially in intelligence and national security cases where a special panel has been set up for that purpose.

Is This Parental Failure, Police Failure, Societal Failure or Just ...

According to Attorney General Eric Holder “we are a nation of cowards” when it comes to matters of race. He would not pursue the New Black Panthers for intimidation of voters nor has he weighed in on any of the Black on White violence we have been witnessing lately on American streets. He is also incredibly quiet about Louis Farrakhan’s recent comments about how the white man is making the half-white president create programs detrimental to the black population of America in general. His decision to avoid defending former President Clinton’s “Defense of Marriage Act” is having a major impact on society as well. President Barack Hussein Obama pretty much lets the nation’s chief law enforcement officer only enforce laws that allow illegal aliens to attain driver’s licenses and Democrat voter registrations while attacking state laws designed to curb illegal border jumping and punish alien criminals.

But all that aside…

We have to ask if all this presidential complacency is really the cause of the sudden influx of street gang violence and theft we have been reading about. Why are gangs of black street thugs wandering around beating up white people and attacking local businesses? What has given these groups of black teenagers the belief they have become immune from lawful prosecution for their crimes?

The first article I’d like to address is entitled: “Teenage gang charged under lynching law after ’savage attack on 18-year-old student’ by Fiona Roberts, dated 26 June 2011. The article was posted with before/after pictures of the “student” who was attacked. I will not reprise those here.

The report begins: “Four members of a teenage gang have been charged under a state’s lynching law after allegedly beating an 18-year-old student so badly he required facial reconstruction surgery. The eight members of the gang, the youngest of whom is just 13, allegedly set upon Carter Strange in a parking lot as he jogged back to his home in Columbia, [South Carolina].

The actual breakdown of the “gang” included one 19-year-old, four 16-year-olds, and one teen each 13, 14, and 15-years-old. That is seven times parental failure. The assault happened after midnight. If the parents of the children under the age of 18 had been caring enough to bring their children home after the streetlights went on, the seven juveniles might not be facing charges of “second degree assault” and “criminal conspiracy”.
