Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute 

June 25, 2012 

Mob hit man Kevin Weeks was given an order to assassinate a troublesome newspaper columnist. Weeks had the target set up for the kill, but didn't pull the trigger because his seven-year-old daughter was in danger. 

"I couldn't take a chance of the bullet fragmenting and ricocheting or hitting her or just killing her father in front of her," recalled Weeks. 

Years earlier, mob hit man Joe Barboza developed an elaborate plan to kill a fellow hoodlum targeted by a mob contract. Barboza would place incendiary bombs in the basement of the man?s home. He and three other shooters would cut the telephone lines to the house, then phone in false alarms to tie up the fire department elsewhere. Mob boss Raymond Patriarca vetoed the plan because it would have put the targeted man?s mother at risk. 

Contrast those examples with the mindset described by Gabe Suarez, who spent 12 years as a police officer in Santa Monica: ?When I was on [the] SWAT [team] our view [was] that `We will always win....even if we have to burn down your entire house by bombing it....we will win?.? 

Which variety of armed gang is the greater danger to the innocent?

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