Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

December 5, 2008

On Thanksgiving night, a highly trained SWAT team in New Jersey engaged in an hour-long armed standoff with what proved to be a cardboard cutout.

The night before, a woman in Washington, D.C. became the latest victim of a now-familiar scam: Her home was robbed at gunpoint by a gang posing as a SWAT team serving a drug warrant.

The day after Thanksgiving, the police chief of Monroe, Ohio shot himself in the leg while giving his daughter a lesson in gun safety.

In early December, the FBI arrested seventeen Chicago-area police officers who offered to sell their services to what they believed to be a local drug syndicate.

And in St. Louis, city alderman Charles Quincy Troupe , reacting to the corruption and ineptitude of the local police, urged his constituents to stop relying on the police and to buy guns for their own protection.

Here?s hoping that Alderman Troupe?s common sense proves to be contagious.

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