I gotta call you out on this one
First, the details of the shooting of a 93 year old woman are not at all clear. You may be right about it, but you do not know yet. No one knows yet. A 93 year old with a gun is every bit as deadly(maybe more so), than a young man. A gun is a deadly weapon. If they shot in self defense, the nso be it. Yeah, no one likes to think of the grandparent being shot, but how about the officer and his family. Do we let them just get shot. Like I said, we do not know the details yet.

Next, a drug courier is sentenced to jail for three years. He go off light in my opinion. Yeah he is 90 years old, so what! If he was guilty of bringing in something like 400 lbs of coke. What did that to do to people(admittedly by their own choice(or addiction) too)? Why should a 90 year old be given anything more than a normal person? They should be held every bit as accountable as anyone else.

Lastly, I looked all over the internet. There is not one article I could find that stated the facts in the title. Tabloid journalism at it s best. The ma was not arrested for speaking out, he was arrested for disorderly conduct. He refused to honor the rules of the meeting. He would not speak his piece and then allow the meeting to continue, he tried to dominant the floor with his complaints. He was allowed two minutes, as all the participants were. He was arrested after 19 minutes of continual interruption. Here again, he got what he paid for.

Police state, maybe, but more like asses who think they can do what they want and not pay for it.
