Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

May 23, 2012

Gilbert , Arizona resident Karl Frost, who was riding a bicycle, encountered Kevin Thompson jogging in the bike lane on the morning of May 16. Thompson moved aside to let Frost pass ? only to be startled when the bicyclist attempted to run him down. Frost, who was several inches taller and 50 pounds heavier than Thompson, pursued the jogger, seized him, and shouted ?Citizen?s arrest!? He then called 911 to demand that an officer come and take the supposed offender into custody.

When the police arrived, it was Frost who was put under arrest for suspicion of unlawful imprisonment. Since Thompson?s alleged lane violation was a civil offense, he wasn?t subject to arrest. Frost maintains that the arrest was justified because Thompson ?assaulted? him by trying to escape. Where would be get that idea?

Frost, a British expatriate, describes himself as a former SWAT operator who had served in the British Special Air Service. He told police that his training to ?meet conflict with violence? has left him struggling with ?inner demons? in civilian life.

If Frost was still wearing a government-issued costume, he would be able give those ?inner demons? free rein at the expense of those less privileged than himself.

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