Which comes first?

One of the eternal curiosities of the universe.

A town in New Jersey setup a service where the local police department would have a lock-box with a special combination containing a key to a person's residence. Specifically intended for senior citizens, it allows emergency personel to enter the home in an emergency without breaking down the door. This particular example in New Jersey is completely funded by confiscated drug money.

Sounds nice, doesn't it?

Perhaps not.

In Prairie Villiage, Kansas, a woman was shot do death by the local Special Weapons and Tactics Unit during "curtousy" rounds because she didn't want the local goose-steppers in her home. Apparently, refusing entry to your home is a crime. Furthermore, it would seem refusing "help" by your local overlords is punishable by death.

After barricading her door, the innocent victim made threats at the local S.S. should they break and enter. So deeply offended by her refusal of their "aid", that they then had to smash down her door her murder her.

An innocent woman.

Murdered in her own home for her own good.

Compliments of the Prairie Villiage S.W.A.T. team.

Land of the free.
