Just claim that the laws, the bills, the responsibility no longer applies to you and you can "do what you want." Killing citizens..Law Enforcement Officers, kids.. whats next?? Time to crack down on these nuts and put them in their place..or maybe we can send them all to Canada.

This state is rife with closet extremists,hate groups and a pervasive "intentional ignorance" way of doing just about everything. If you wonder about how he made detective, it's simple...you should see the others who didn't!
