Doesn’t it seem like everything fun is a crime?
If its fun its illegal!
Americans are being arrested and charged with crimes for doing things like leaving dog poop on the ground, opening up Christmas presents early, not recycling properly, farting in class and having brown lawns. But is it healthy for our society for the police to be involved in such silly things? Every single day the United States inches closer to becoming a totalitarian society.
While there are some that would welcome this shift, the truth is that throughout history the societies that have experienced the greatest economic prosperity have all had at least a certain level of freedom.
Business thrives when people feel free to live and work.
When a government tightens the grip too much many people just start shutting down. Just look at places like North Korea. Even though the rest of the world is sending them huge amounts of food starvation is still quite common in that totalitarian regime.
That is why it is so disturbing that it seems like almost everything has become a crime in America now. As we continue to criminalize relatively normal behavior our slide toward becoming a totalitarian state will only accelerate.
We are throwing anyone and everyone in prison these days. It is getting absolutely ridiculous. Today, the United States leads the world in the number of prisoners and in the percentage of the population in prison.
The United States has 5% of the world’s population, but approximately 25% of the world’s incarcerated population.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, as of the end of 2009 a total of 7,225,800 people were either on probation, in prison or on parole in America.
That is a sign of a very, very sick society. Either we have a massive crime problem or the “control grid” that our leaders have erected for us is wildly out of control. Or both.
But how in the world are we supposed to have a healthy economy if our entire nation is being turned into one gigantic prison?
Sadly, it is not just hardcore criminals that are being rounded up and abused by authorities these days. The following are 14 of the most ridiculous things that Americans are being arrested for….
#1 A Michigan man has been charged with a felony and could face up to 5 years in prison for reading his wife’s email.
#2 A 49-year-old Queens woman had bruises all over her body after she was handcuffed, arrested and brutally beaten by NYPD officers. So what was her offense? The officers thought that her little dog had left some poop that she didn’t clean up.
#3 A 56-year-old woman who was once a rape victim refused to let airport security officials feel her breasts so she was thrown to the floor, put in handcuffs and arrested.
#4 In Milwaukee, one man was recently fined $500 for swearing on a public bus.
#5 Several years ago a 12-year-old boy in South Carolina was actually arrested by police for opening up a Christmas present early against his family’s wishes.
#6 In some areas of the country, it is now a crime to not recycle properly. For example, the city of Cleveland has announced plans to sort through trash cans to ensure that people are actually recycling according to city guidelines.
#7 A 12-year-old girl from Queens was arrested earlier this year and taken out of her school in handcuffs for writing “Lex was here. 2/1/10″ and “I love my friends Abby and Faith” on her desk.
#8 Back in 2008, a 13-year-old boy in Florida was actually arrested by police for farting in class.
#9 The feds recently raided an Amish farmer at 5 AM in the morning because they claimed that he was was engaged in the interstate sale of raw milk in violation of federal law.
#10 A few years ago a 10-year-old girl was arrested and charged with a felony for bringing a small steak knife to school. It turns out that all she wanted to do was to cut up her lunch so that she could eat it.
#11 On June 18th, two Christians decided that they would peacefully pass out copies of the gospel of John on a public sidewalk outside a public Islamic festival in Dearborn, Michigan and within three minutes 8 policemen surrounded them and placed them under arrest.
#12 A U.S. District Court judge slapped a 5oo dollar fine on Massachusetts fisherman Robert J. Eldridge for untangling a giant whale from his nets and setting it free. So what was his crime? Well, according to the court, Eldridge was supposed to call state authorities and wait for them do it.
#13 Once upon a time, a food fight in the cafeteria may have gotten you a detention. Now it may get you locked up. About a year ago, 25 students between the ages of 11 and 15 at a school in Chicago were taken into custody by police for being involved in a huge food fight in the school cafeteria.
#14 A few years ago a 70 year old grandmother was actually put in handcuffs and hauled off to jail for having a brown lawn.
Why in the world would anyone approve of the police arresting ordinary Americans for such things?
It seems like ever since 9/11 the whole country has gotten “security fever”.
Suddenly we need to “get tough” on everyone.
Yes, crime is making a comeback, but once upon a time the police in this country were able to handle crime quite well and be courteous and helpful to ordinary citizens at the same time.
But today it seems like nearly every single encounter with police ends up being negative.
It does not have to be that way.
The rest of the world sees what is going on in this country and many of them are deciding that they simply do not want to spend their tourist dollars here anymore. That is not a good thing for our economy.
As the government continues to get even bigger and exerts even more control over our lives, many of our own people are getting sick of it and are moving abroad.
America used to be the land of the free and the home of the brave.
That is no longer true.
Now we get thrown to the floor, handcuffed, beaten and arrested for things that we did not even know were crimes.
If America continues to move in this direction it is going to ruin our economy, our reputation in the world and our national spirit.
Unfortunately, history has shown us that once a free nation starts to lose that freedom it is hard to reverse that slide. Perhaps we will be different. Perhaps the American people will stand up and demand that we restore the principles of liberty and freedom that this country was founded on.
Do you think that will happen? Feel free to leave a comment with your opinion….

Terry Wagar was a plasma donor at ZLB plasma center when his wife Joan Wagar started an affair with her co-worker Eric Carlson at East Port Walmart.
ReplyDeleteTurns out Eric Carlson is almost a twin to Terry Wagar and Joan Wagar kept that very very secret, but not a secret from her co-workers, everyone at East Port Walmart started calling Eric Carlson Doubleclick because of his likeness to Joan Wagar's husband Terry!
Everyone at Walmart knew of their affair and they helped Eric Carlson and Joan Wagar to hide it, in early 2005 Joan Wagar brought her daughters Megan and Kayle Wagar to East Port Walmart to spend the night there with her so they could see what her job was like.
That's when Joan Wagar introduced them to her lover Eric Carlson, and Joan Wagar asked them to help her keep him and his appearance a secret from Terry Wagar!
From that point forward Terry Wagar started getting ill but it was just slight at the time, he did not suspect foul play yet but he was suspecting his wife Joan Wagar of an affair, all the classic signs of an affair were present.
Terry Wagar noticed that his daughters were being secretive after they stayed the night with their mother at Walmart, after about two weeks later Joan Wagar admitted to her daughters that she now has a nick name that her co-workers gave her, she said her nick name was Dash!
Terry Wagar overheard that conversation from the other room, and no one not even her wife admitted that nick name to Terry Wagar,
Doubleclick the body double and Mrs Dash had a lot of people to lie for them at this point and Mrs Dash was poisoning her husband, Terry Wagar was a plasma donor donating twice a week at ZLB plasma center!
After Joan Wagar started poisoning her husband Eric Carlson wanted to use his likeness of Joan's husband to frame him for crimes, and by doing so giving Joan's husband a bad reputation all over Portland using fliers!
Eric Carlson has relatives in law enforcement and they covered the poisonings at the OHSU hospital! In order to hide their affair better Joan Wagar transfered to Clackamas Walmart and later so did Eric Carlson, and everyone at Clackamas Walmart was hiding Eric Carlson's employment by calling him by alias's, hiding a photo doubles employment!
Employees at Clackamas Walmart, and family members that worked at Clackamas Walmart, decided they will help Eric Carlson and Joan Wagar to finish off Terry Wagar, they used Eric Carlson as a photo double on March 26th as he followed children around on the Walmart floor and co-workers were taking back shots and side shots of it with their cell phones and they pressed charges publicly on a pedophile that day and their giving Terry Wagar's descriptiion, while hiding a photo doubles employment!
That's a hell of a thing to hide Walmart! that's a hell of a thing to do Walmart! Joan Wagar and a Black lady by the name Adrian printed out the fliers in the back of the store as Eric Carlson was doing his sick thing out on the Walmart floor!
They all sounded as though they were having a lot of fun commiting those crimes! they laughed in their break room, knowing Terry Wagar would get the blame!
Terry Wagar put a audio recorder in his wife's purse that morning and caught it on a audio recorder! secured forever! Ever since Terry Wagar caught them confessing at Walmart Terry Wagar was severely poisoned and unable to get help from hospital due to Eric Carlson's relatives in law enforcement!
Eric Carlson and his relatives in law enforcement and Joan Wagar and her daughters started blackmailing Terry Wagar with audio death threats! they brag there is no way for him to get help and they threaten to kill others if he don't do as they want!
There is no one to report this to due to the fact that Portland authority's approved their actions in advance!
A year later Joan Wagar and Eric Carlson poisoned Donna Minor to death and authority's just labeled that a suicide! http://rogueimc.org/en/2011/02/16990.shtml

DeleteThat's the dunbest story I have ever heard.
DeleteI don't know if the story here about the Walmart employees is true or not, but, I believe that this could happen. There are a lot of sick people out there and this type of thing goes on, whether or not this particular story is true or false. By the way, the link at the bottom does not work...
DeleteThat story was boring as fuck what a tard
DeleteThis story does not make any sense to me, i read it twice just to be sure. lol. tard.

ReplyDeleteHello everyone, it�s my first go to see at this web site, and post is actually fruitful designed for me, keep up posting these content.
ReplyDeletei was walking down a street around midnight.i saw a cop car in the distance,but i had done nothing wrong so i wasnt worried about in about one minute i had two police cars,one in front of me and one behind me.the cop in front of me pointed a gun at me while the cop behind me ran up threw me to the ground,put his knee in my back.then he put handcuffs on me,put me in the back of one of the cars.then told me "remember,your not under arrest."so there i was handcuffed in the back of a squad car,but not under arrest.he drove me to a 7-11 store.two of the workers came out and said thats not him.so he uncuffed me and told me to start walking.so i guess were guilty until proven innocent.
ReplyDeleteWHAT A BLOODY PALAVER......YOU YANKS TAKE THE PISS......GET A GRIP. YOUR POLICE FORCE IS CORRUPT TO FUCK. BUT YOUR COUNTRY GOES TO THE EXTREME WITH EVERYTHING........STAND UP OR SHUT UP! TOO MANY CRAZY TWATS. GUNS, GUNS, GUNS.....NOWHERE IS SAFE
ReplyDeleteshutup dumb australian^^
DeleteComing from a guy who's ancestors where deported rejects... best thing to come from Australia was crocodile Dundee...your about as good as a hat full of assholes, you chocolate driller.
DeleteFuck up assclowns that guy is clearly a pom. Wats even ur fkn point. We are descended from convicts for stealing bread to feed our family. Ie. Kinda like u bitches right fucking now. Pull ya heads in cunts
DeleteNowhere is 'safe' with or WITHOUT guns, guns, guns, either, dipshit. At least, when our 'corrupt to fuck' (by the way, where the fuck do Limeys and their cheap, knockoff, pseudo-Limey imitators come up with these nonsensical, candy-assed expressions?!) police & government REALLY get out of control, we'll stand at least a half-assed chance of defending ourselves with guns, guns, guns! You nutless peckerheads, on the other hand, will have to resort to sticks, rocks, torches & pitchforks because you let YOUR 'corrupt to fuck' governments take YOUR 'guns, guns, guns' without so much as a bitchy little wimper. Maybe you can get really rowdy & try a little of what you amusingly call harsh language if the pitchforks don't work out.
ReplyDeletegood old rootin tootin stuff there...shoot the lot of um Jerry but I would hurry as there building up stocks of ammo

ReplyDeleteWhy should I leave a comment, so I can get arrested for having an opinion. No thank you.
ReplyDeleteGuess the guns thing worked out for ya when you can't even defend your own constitutional rights. When the lawmakers overlook or seek loopholes in a paper, designed to keep any one organization, from gaining too much power.
ReplyDeleteThis is not new, just the new cool thing, a fad, ppl are only "outraged" because its the thing to be right now. Sad!
ReplyDeleteLaws CREATE Criminals... The more laws they pass the more people become criminals.
ReplyDeleteYou are SOOOO RIGHT !! And, that is Exactly how the government wants it, All people to be criminals, so that when they declare Martial Law, they will be able to "prove" just cause. The Australian here is right, the government is corrupt and people are not doing enough about it. It takes All of the people to Stand, not just a few at a time, All at the same time. All of the marches that have been going to Washington should have been All at the Same time, no small groups of a few thousand people, but 1 Large group of All the the people. Stand Up, Wake Up, Do Not let what happened in Australia happen here...Do Not let them take More of Your Rights!
Deleteto be fair the guy with the "brown lawn" that's just criminal pmsl ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteOvertime, the people will wake up because of all meaningless arrests occurring, with them coming to realize it's just to make a profit for the corporate dictatorship (government). It's already out of control and is accelerating tremendously, a revolution is to be taking place in under 5 years...guaranteed.
