Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

July 23, 2008

Law enforcement authorities in Dallas recently arrested four career criminals who formed the nucleus of an armed gang that had terrorized seven counties for more than three years. The gang stole more than $1 million in cash, most of it through home invasions.

Dressed in SWAT attire, armed with high-performance weaponry, and carrying zip cuffs, the robbers would burst into homes claiming to enforce search warrants. After beating and cuffing occupants, the invaders helped themselves to anything of value.

On some occasions, when victims wouldn?t disclose the location of large sums of money, the robbers would use ?enhanced interrogation techniques? ? attacking vulnerable anatomy with pliers, or applying the form of controlled drowning called ?waterboarding? to break down resistance.

Those tactics were copied from law enforcement and intelligence agencies. That Gang may be gone, but our supposed protectors remain free to use the same criminal tactics at whim.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
