This is what happens when a society gives up their guns. The government knows they can do whatever they want and the people cannot fight back. If the US did not have the 2nd Amendment the same violations we see taking place in New Zealand, Australia, UK would be taking place in the US too.

It wasn't that long ago here in the Land of the Free, that we had something similar. Intersection island derelict-appearing guy pleading for help. People took off their seat belts to hand the guy money and then got ticketed for not wearing a seatbelt (IIRC). Pretty sure that was during covid hoax but I might be mis-remembering the details.

Meanwhile, "mostly peaceful" protestors were allowed a reign of violence and destruction that I hadn't previously seen in this country in my 57 years. DA's let them off the hook because of the fallacious "equity" which is nothing more than a different kind of discrimination.

Let's not forget the images and experience of law enforcement gone over-the-top gung-ho for the pointless charade of covid mitigation. They literally patrolled businesses in my area to see if mask mandates were being enforced by businesses. Even checking "non-essential" business to include automated car washes!! And they LOVED every second of their new-found fascist power.

They harassed, threatened, beat up, and violently arrested too many people to count. It's putrid and disgusting. No surprise that they continue with this sort of thing. It's apparently the kind of people that they are. Actions and priorities tell much more about people than their words or oaths.
