Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

May 5, 2010

Which is the greater danger to a seven-year-old child: A father possessing a minuscule amount of marijuana, or a home invasion carried out by marauders packing military-grade firearms?

On February 11, a SWAT team staged a nighttime drug raid on the home of Columbia, Missouri resident Jonathan Whitworth. Their first act was to shoot and kill one family dog; then they killed another in front of Whitworth?s seven-year-old son.

After terrorizing Whitworth?s wife and child, the Stormtroopers found barely enough marijuana to justify a misdemeanor charge against the 25-year-old father. Whitworth was also charged with child endangerment, owing to the fact that the military-style raid mounted by the police to deal with a misdemeanor narcotics charge jeopardized his son.

A video recording captured the Soviet-style raid in all its malignant glory. Hundreds of similar raids take place every day in the United States. Many choose to believe this kind of thing only happens in one of ?those? countries. We are one of ?those? countries.

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