Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

August 10, 2012

Beverly Mutrie of Greenland, New Hampshire is being sued by four police officers who were wounded during an April 12 shootout at the home of her late son, Cullen ? who was killed in the gunfight.

 Mrs. Mutrie?s only connection to the events of April 12 is the fact that she owned the home where the shootout took place. The lawsuit filed by the officers claims that she ?indirectly supported and facilitated? illegal activity that supposedly occurred on the premises. She has not been charged with a crime. 

 Mrs. Mutrie did nothing to conceal her son?s alleged crimes. At the time of the gunfight, the police had already been investigating her son for nearly two years.

 The persecution of Beverly Mutrie is neither the first, nor the worst, case of its kind.

 In June 2007 Arthur Mies was killed by his 35-year-old son, Eddie, who suffered a breakdown. Eddie was killed in an armed stand-off that led to the wounding of three deputies ? who promptly filed a lawsuit against Karen Mies, Eddie?s mother and Arthur?s widow.

 Police have no enforceable legal duty to protect individual citizens. Some of them apparently believe citizens are legally obligated to protect them.

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