Today more than ever the average citizen is in peril of being prosecuted and it is not as difficult as you may think to find yourself in legal hot water. Imagine what might happen if you were to find your self on a snow mobile, in a white out blizzard, you get lost and your just trying to survive, you see blue lights ahead and you head for those lights because the police are there to help right?
You would be wrong…
Guess what you just accidentally broke a federal statute, violation of the Wilderness Act.
Now you have a criminal record…
Most people think criminal law is for bad people,” says Timothy Lynch of the Cato Institute. “They’re one misstep away from the nightmare of a federal indictment.” new federal laws have lower standards for conviction than in the past: Prosecutors do not always need to show criminal intent (mens rea), according the Wall Street Journal. And, federal regulations (also numbering in the thousands) often carry the force of federal criminal law as penalty.

So, if your still reading this you may be wondering what is going on and is this really the America I grew up pledging allegiance to the flag?
Yes, it is, but things have changed, it has been said over and over again that we are a nation of laws, but the truth is that is a lie…
The truth is that we the people are the only people that matter in this Nation, yet our congress treats us like criminals.
While they eat the fat and drink the sweet, this is a real issue that every American should be well aware of yet for the most part many of us are far too busy working and living our lives to be concerned with legal issues, this is why it is imperative that you know what your doing and that when you choose to go on vacation or to go even on something as simple as a cruise that you know the laws that could effect your very liberty and freedom.
It may be difficult to understand when your not in the world as often as perhaps some of your neighbors, however its important to realize that just because your neighbors may not share information about being on vacation and accidentally breaking a federal law while in a federal park, getting a $3500.00 fine, having a felony record, (no more voting) all because what, your son who is interested in cowboys and Indians went looking for arrow heads, in a federal park…
You see, there are so many laws that some have said they do not know how many laws there actually are.
Some estimate the figure at more than 4500 federal laws.
If you are reading this because you were looking for legal advice or you perhaps found this website searching for a solution to a problem you have please locate an attorney, you can often get some sound legal advice for as little as $50 and that can go a long way towards helping you get a better nights sleep…
Ok, the one question I have that makes this difficult to understand is this, how can the State of Florida play games with the Law?
Think about this, The state of Floriduh, has decided that they want to pursue a charge they cannot prove at all, forget about reasonable doubt.
There is no reasonable doubt needed, simple because of the charges the State of Florida, decided to charge, but are they not smarter than that, allegedly just how stupid do you have to be to figure this out. And when you think about this you will partially understand just how dumb allegedly they are in Florida.
They have to prove that George Zimmerman, with a depraved intention, left his home intending to find and murder someone that he did not know.
They have to prove that George Zimmerman, knew that this young man was in the area, and that he intended to murder this man, the truth is that they cannot do that.
It is impossible because the young man did not live in this area, so sadly once again we see just how ignorant the state of florida is in this instance, along with others, like the Casey Anthony, trial, and the now infamous kidnapping case, where the state was made to look like fools.
I was actually born in this state, but now I am ashamed to say it, I mostly just say I am from the south,…
So, if your looking for a great place to retire, keep looking Florida is not the place you think it is.
Look Foriduh is at it again are we about to see yet another over reaching Floriduh, case, just like the Casey Anthony Case?
Millions and millions will be spent in this case, just because a middle aged women cannot figure out how to apply the law to the case, (allegedly)
There are many sides to this “Media Created” Circus, the public have been fed a diet of incorrect, inaccurate and inappropriate information that in the eyes of the public have done nothing to help create facts.
Florida, is a state, that is a problem, ok, if you live in this state, and you do something stupid, you could end up being charged with a felony when what you actually did was less of an offense.
Take for instance, the famous case where the state of Florida, charged, Casey Anthony with Murder, when Manslaughter would have been a more appropriate charge, in fact if they had done that Ms, Anthony would still be in jail today, this really tells a story about Floriduh.
But, is that fair?
It may be, the State of Florida has a reputation for over charging cases, in the hopes, (allegedly) that the defendant will feel pressured by the weight of the charges (Wait is this even ethical?) and succumb to the idea that they must go to jail even if they are not guilty. In this case, there is some reason to believe that the man made a horrible mistake that caused a loss of life, there are a number of things that might have been done that would have certainly produced better results, Proper Training, identification, uniforms, flashlights, all of these things could have been employed to reduce the amount of risk, yet none of them were done, (at this time it is not known for sure if these were part of the problem but we can see that it certainly would have reduced the risk) At least there will be a case, once again in Floriduh, where there will be much hype and likely all kinds of information released to the public. One thing that really makes you think, is this, “Is Floriduh, really the best place to live these days” That should make you think about what is going on both in the state level of government and in the local level of government.

Perhaps its something in the water, or maybe its just human stupidity, who knows for sure, unless someone with some brains, (allegedly not the special prosecutor in this case) such as the Attorney General of the state of Florida, steps in and says, hey, you want a conviction or do you want another Casey Anthony trial?
Manslaughter is the more appropriate charge in this case, it is a charge that can be sustained, it is a charge that would result in significant time in jail, it is a charge that is likely appropriate, sometimes you look at the facts and you say how does a women with trial experience make such a huge mistake in judgement?
Who knows for sure, perhaps she is thinking about the book she will write after the trial is over and the media has gone home.
Perhaps she is thinking that she might run for political office later, perhaps she is thinking about the color of her nails, and getting her hair done, we don’t know, but it seems clear that she is not interested (allegedly) in justice or the peoples business, because charging in this manner is a career move not a criminal matter.
This is what is wrong with the American Legal System, its too political, perhaps it has always been that way but this is getting really stupid.
Is an executive order still binding on the American people if it violates the Constitution? That may be one thing that many people wonder about…
Are we now living in a land where there is no longer a congress? Do we have a dictator and chief in office? When will congress act to secure the future of the United States?

When will congress act to secure the future of the United States?
In many ways we have some very troubling things happening all around us the stock market is very volatile.
Millions of Americans are out of work and yet we continue down the prickly pathway that has put us in danger of default.
This is just getting out of control what is going on in America.
Are we going to find our way out of this insanity and if so will the police be a help or a hurt.
Murder and Homicide, charges, what is going on now?
If you have been a victim of police corruption, find an attorney and sue the city.
Police violence.
Police problems.
College student shoots home invader, saves 10 lives
Yet another reason to keep a gun in the house . . .
gun control debate, well if you were one of those college students that were about to be murdered do you think you might have a different outlook?
In the first days of May, 2009, in the notoriously dangerous neighborhood of College Park in Atlanta, Georgia, two armed criminals broke into a house party of students.
After confiscating the group’s valuables, the invaders split the men and women up into different rooms.
Witnesses say the perpetrators then counted their rounds and discussed if they had “enough” ammunition.
The students believed the gunmen were going to rape and murder the entire group of students, who were celebrating a birthday at the end of the semester.
However, one male student, whose identity is being protected by police and local media, retrieved a handgun from his backpack and fired at the thug who was detaining the men.
(That is: One smart student had prepared for a night in College Park, Atlanta.)
The criminal fled the apartment under the threat of injury and never returned.
The student continued on into the girls’ room, found the other thug, 23-year-old Calvin Lavant, preparing to rape his first victim.
The student exchanged gunfire with Lavant, lethally wounding him in the process. Lavant fled through a window and died in front of his apartment, only one building away.
One of the female students was injured during the exchange, but doctors expect a full and complete recovery.
So what’s the point?
A student saved the girls from rape, and saved the whole group of 10 people (including himself) from murder . . . and he did it with a handgun.
This is a perfect example of how ludicrous “big city gun laws” are. What if this had happened in New York, Chicago, or any of the other big cities that criminalize their citizens’ self defense?
Yes, we would be reading an entirely different story — one so horrendous that we would shudder at the very words.
Either this whole group of friends would have been raped and murdered by these two sorry excuses for human beings . . . or the hero of this story would be facing prison time for firearm possession and murder.
And that’s exactly how gun-grabber Michael Bloomberg and his Mayors Against Illegal Guns want it.
Thankfully, however, Atlanta hasn’t outlawed self-defense yet. And since someone had a gun and was willing to use it, innocent life was preserved.
Congratulations to the unnamed hero of this story. You saved your friends’ lives.
In Liberty,
Dudley Brown Executive Director National Association for Gun Rights
It has long been a controversial punishment and in the past it has been used on those that were actually innocent of the crime they were accused of doing. The problem with the death penalty is that unless there is eye witness or evidence beyond a doubt, (which has been said before) this level of punishment when the accused may be innocent of the charges is really extreme.
Where does it stop, this mob mentality that the media has for blood and gore.
I would ask about the sanity of these people that we trust for our news, but that might be asking too much even bill orielly comes across as a little twisted sometimes.
This fascination with death and the very likely accidental death of a child is a horrible thing beyond belief.
There is no evidence that the death of Caylee Anthony was anything but an accident.
Was the mother ignorant and stupid, yes, certainly but a planned murder, no that is just not possible in this case.
Even if it were possible, in this country you must have evidence to prove your allegations, otherwise your just using the power of the state to push an emotional agenda, What kind of mentality does it take to be able to push this type of life or death issue to the supreme court when there is no evidence that this child was murdered, in fact they have no evidence that suggests the child was murdered at all.
Everything about their case is circumstantial, from friends and ex boy friends coming in and testifying about partying and such that is not evidence that is hear say, but apparently if your living in Florida that is good enough.
I know one state I will not be retiring to and that is Florida, when the state cannot bring proper charges to support the evidence of a case then this is a real problem, for example here are some of the charges levied against this defendant.
capital murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child and misleading law enforcement in the case of the death of her daughter, Caylee.
The prosecution is seeking the death penalty.
The have no proof, they have no evidence, they have nothing that suggests anything other than accidental death, and misleading law enforcement, but when someone is trying to kill you what would anyone do, this is why it is so important for the State to file charges only for what they can prove not what they can allege, by hearsay.
Again travel in Florida at your own risk you might end up J walking and being charged with murder.
What is going on in America, when the police take action when doing nothing might result in going back at a later time and arresting a suspect with no problems at all, this is the kind of situation that is giving police nationwide a bad name, many people are beginning to wonder if they can trust the police not to kill them…
Warning this video shows the alleged murder of a citizen who is legally armed, (allegedly) all suspects are innocent until proven guilty, or killed, murdered, take your pick.
Warning adult content, this is horrible, the police killed this man, did he get a trial?
Did they act in accordance with applicable law when killing this man?
