I really couldn’t believe it. I know I say that but really! Buzz drones? Come on.

Unveiled in the north of Britain this week, it could be introduced across the country if deemed a success, fuelling an already intense debate over whether the "Big Brother" world George Orwell predicted is now truly upon us, or whether such scrutiny is merely essential for security in the modern era.

How much is enough? Have you begun to notice that every crime is now some sort of domestic terror? Just asking. But in a more focused rant, why is it that law enforcement can’t seem to decide whether or not a cyanide bomb is more serious than a school yard fight ?

Law enforcement and the criminal justice system are becoming increasingly more brutal in their application of force and prosecution of crimes. The data isn’t out yet but more people of color are being executed by police action and more people of color are being “locked down.” The country has entered a lynch the niggers mentality (Nigger here being the general term for anyone with less than $10 million). The Black, Hispanic, and poor communities are being systematically lynched and rounded up. You know this is how cities burn. Right? I’m telling you Now so that when it all goes up in flames and there is blood in the streets you can’t say “I had no idea” THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT IS LYNCHING PEOPLE OF COLOR AND THE POOR.

Well, at least someone other than me has noticed the U.S. Government's war against it's own citizens. Too many in the blogosphere want to ignore it while they discuss the best way to elect more Democrats, regardless of whether they're good ones or not.

"Or he will not slay thee in thy turn. He will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shrivelled mind be left naked to the Lidless Eye."

Or words to that effect.

No authoritarians were tortured in the writing of this post.
