As if the government isn't already an ASS

LA County is a nightmare. This man needs a good lawyer to defend him from the wolves of Los Angeles County. Why can't they concentrate on the drug smugglers, murderers, child molesters? I'll tell you why because the County and its' officials are corrupt. Maybe we can pray that a good attorney will contact him and and take his case pro bono...

(i'm guessing the county officials are greedy and prevail using thuggery to gain this mans land)

Should check some of the proposed regs coming to Jefferson County. specifically Evergreen and Conifer.

"We're here to help you"

Some of the most dangerous words to ever hear from a government agency

A couple of things gang. Before I say what I am going to say please do not let this come anywhere close to a Get back at the government thread or it will disappear.

I know many would like a do-over on the Bay of Pigs but not here. The most disturbing thing I got from the videos was "Code Enforcement" with SWAT type gear.

I am trying to understand why the US is getting to the point that every agency (Fed,State,Local) that has anything to do with making people follow the rules (no matter how stupid they may be) has to have SWAT/Military gear.

In my mind it borders on stupid. I will ask what is next? HOA's with flash-bangs and RPG's? That is the disturbing trend I see.

Your Friendly Mod Staff.

Hell, I'm not convinced that most Police Departments need a SWAT team (at least not a full time, dedicated team).

Once upon a time SWAT teams were made up of officers that did regular duty until they were called in for a hostage situation or active shooter situation (which is ALL they should be used for ... High risk warrant? Hunt the bugger down when they're out and about and not holed up in their compound ... afraid that they'll flush the evidence? Maybe you shouldn't be raiding people for such small quantities that they can easily flush all their stuff ... or just shut the water off before you knock on the door and show your warrant).

The only reason for use of a SWAT team by any agency for any reason other than proscribed above is plain and simple tyranny. Period.

In my humble opinion... I think there is or are certain individuals that make these decisions of trying to take these lands or make some sort of profit with all the BS rules and Regs... and they are being backed by the Government of some form or another. I wonder what real estate company is looking into moving to that location in a couple of years...
All in all... what it boils down to is "It's not what you know... it's who you know"... sad days...

Give it a few years.

Everyone from Kalifornia, Massalosers, and Obamanois is moving here. Most are liberals so... They will be making us into one of those suckhole states if they can. They ruined their own states so now they will try again here.

Let them try their shit here.
They certainly won't be getting my land without one helluva fight. But then the people in the video weren't truly "off grid"... wouldn't be able to find em if they were.

Maybe its time to just head up to Wyoming. Almost as good as Colorado and not nearly as many people.
