Resistance, not Obedience, is the Free Person's Default Setting

Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

August 16, 2012

In 2006, 44-year-old Mount Washington, Kentucky resident Walter Nix was found guilty of sexually abusing a teenager named Louise Ogborn. Posing as a police officer, a con man named David Stewart called the McDonald?s where Nix and Ogburn worked and ordered Nix to strip-search the teenage girl.

Nix was sentenced to five years in prison. Donna Summers, who managed the McDonald?s, pleaded guilty to a charge of unlawful imprisonment. David Stewart, a former prison guard who allegedly perpetrated dozens of similar hoaxes over more than a decade, was never prosecuted.

The prosecution maintained that Nix and Summers should have known Stewart wasn?t a police officer. The McDonald?s corporation said the same in its reply to a lawsuit filed by Louise Ogborn. To people who understand personal liberty, it wouldn?t matter whether or not Stewart had a government-issued costume and the corresponding title: What he demanded was wrong and should have been resisted from the beginning.

It?s worth nothing that what was prosecuted as a crime by a McDonald?s employee in 2006 is committed thousands of times every day at airports by federal employees in 2012.

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