California's Everyday Death Penalty

You have given much away to be safe. And, while you were giving up "your," Rights under our Constitution, you were giving away mine.  For my whole adult life I've been a fierce proponent of the Bill of Rights.  I sometimes wonder if it its still taught in School? My focus has not been personal safety, but of keeping our Rights Safe. They are what gives us safety.

With all you have given up for Safety, Do you feel Safe?

In my lifetime, how many laws have been passed to insure safety? Thousands? Millions? Law that restrict what we can do. Laws that change the very nature of our lives. So I ask again, do you feel safe?  If not, it's because you have been told over and over again that the world is filled with evil, and that this evil can only be diminished if you are willing to become a slave. 

Do what we say, don't question Authority! Be safe. 

Let's look at Authority. Do you want it? Is it something you crave. What kind of person wants Authority? The simple answer is: People who are Scared. People who lack control or influence. 

These are the kinds of people that work their way into Positions of Authority. I'm sure there are other types as well but look closely at the people you know that have worked their way into Authority. What kind of person do you see?   And is it any wonder that these people find themselves isolated?

They are not like most people. Most people don't want Authority. Because most people understand that the cost of honest Authority is Responsibility. And truthfully, most people don't want that level of Responsibility.  But the person who craves Authority does not care about responsibility. They want power, they want respect, to be listened too. They are selfish. So the responsibility what they should embrace is just an annoyance.  

I don't have to follow the rules! I make the rules!

When is the last time you saw our Representatives pass a law that enhanced our freedom? They can't even agree that email should be treated like regular mail!  I believe the reason for all the draconian rules that get passed is that these selfish people are afraid. Authority did not make them brave. In the end, all it did was make their cries of fear louder. Loud enough that you hear them, and you have decided that you too should be afraid. If Authority is afraid then we are not safe.  

Look closely at your life and your surroundings.  YOU ARE SAFE, but you are not free. 

In California people think we have outlawed the Death Penalty. You will be told that no one has been put to death in California since 2006. But that's not true. You need to look at this more deeply. A Death Penalty case takes years of hard work with automatic appeals. Everything that can be done to get it right is thrown at the case before a person is executed.  And even then, the State can get it wrong. 

No Death Penalty in California? Wrong!!  

1,130 people have been killed in California in the last 10 years. 

One Thousand, One Hundred and Thirty people were shot and killed by the Police in California in the last 10 years. Were they all Justified? NO!  One example was a 13 year old boy with a BB Gun.  A Santa Rosa TRAINING Officer (Erick Gelhaus) fired 8 times and killed this boy. When the boy turned to hear what was being yelled at him, the cop opened fire. The boy was Andy Lopez.  Andy was doing nothing wrong. The toy he was holding was legal and could not harm anyone. The shooting was investigated by those in Authority and found that Gelhaus had acted in a reasonable manner!  It is reasonable for the police to shoot and kill even children if they can say that the child was holding anything that might be a weapon! I want you to think long and hard on this. If I were King, the Police would no longer be given the license of lethal force.

Any Child, Holding a Toy Gun, can be killed by the Police because it's Reasonable.

IT'S NOT REASONABLE!

I have to ask, WHAT KIND OF SICK FUCK COULD FIND THIS REASONABLE!  Only someone who is very afraid, someone psychologically broken. Our Courts found that Officer Gelhaus did not violate the boy's Civil Rights. If this is true, then we have no Civil Rights. So do you still believe that there is no Death Penalty in California?  What has happened is, California no longer has to be so careful when killing someone. Do you ever wonder why the Police shoot the person so many times. So many times as to make sure they die from the wounds and can't recover?  I think it's because they never want to be sitting in a Court Room across from a living victim that can testify against them. I think they walk around with a hair trigger because they have been told over and over again that they are at war, that they are a target every moment they walk around in uniform. They have been infused with the fear of Authority and they believe it because they are the type that want Authority, but they don't want the Responsibility.

The Truth is; We need Protection from our Protectors.

The Police have come to believe that they are more important than those they are hired to protect.

Check out the CDC's Statistics on Police Killed in the line of Duty.  They are less likely to be killed by a gun or a knife or from blunt force trauma that the average Citizen.  There job ranks right up there with Hairdressers. What kills most Police is them driving into a tree. And that's on them. There is also a very high rate of suicide. Why do you think that is?

Judges have destroyed our rights and given the Police permission to kill us. Judges need to be publicly outed and held accountable for their decisions.

It may be too late to ever get our full protections back from the Bill of Rights, but please think long and hard on what we have already given for safety and on why you still don't feel safe. I think all the laws are to help Authority feel safe, not us.
