EFFBEYE at the Door:
[RedState] At a press conference on August 12th, 1986, President Ronald Reagan said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’” I remember the media went into quite a tizzy at that quote; even then, the legacy media (which is pretty much all there was) was wholly partisan. Now, the Mises Caucus presents another example of someone being confronted by a government agent who is just there "to help."
When this citizen opened the door to find these three (two FBI agents and one county Sheriff's deputy) at his door, he should have replied with two questions: "Do you have a warrant?" "Am I being detained?" Since these three would have had to answer "no" to both of those, the next statement would be, "In that case, please vacate my property immediately, or I will have you charged with trespassing." That is where this encounter should have ended. But since that didn't happen, let's parse through the statements made by these officers. Posted by: NoMoreBS 2023-09-13 |
