#1 ...Some years ago, a gentleman of my acquaintance - former F-4/F-16 pilot of all things - became a missionary and felt called to try and serve in Cuba. Against all expectations and after a long effort, he was actually approved. Goes without saying that he had some remarkable stories when he got back, and the most disturbing one was that fishing - by the book - is a prison offense there. The Castros want the people depending on them for EVERYTHING, and their attitude is that if you can feed yourself for even a single meal, it's a threat to their power.

An extreme example? Yep. But it's at the end of a surprisingly straight, short road that starts with telling people they can't help their neighbors without Gummint training and permission.

#2 Did the posse need training? Nope, the sheriff called for volunteers, deputized them, and saddled up.

I suspect, the local sheriff today knows who's the good guys and bad guys in the neighborhood. Just to the same damn thing. Just have a Good Samaritan law in place.

Someone is really interested in power, not solving problems.

Trump and Mike Pence talking to flood victims. Fellow in the upper right in the olive coloured shirt - Franklin Graham. Another 'enemy' of the State, who generally likes to keep a somewhat low profile.

#5 It's why the police in the UK were always in favor of gun control.

Competition for their service is always scary to the publicly employed. Especially from private sector lifers who are skilled and have a work ethic.
