It didn’t take long for a Red Flag failure to occur. Links are below but here’s the gist of the story. :
A Marine in a MAGA cap publicly stated that he would defend himself against an attack by a [leftist] political group. A judge and the FBI took away his guns and incarcerated him. Here are the ramifications as I see them:
* Do we have the right of free speech? This man felt it important to warn the [leftist] group that if they “If [leftist group] gets to the point where they start [attacking] us, I’m going to [attack] them next. . .” In other words, he was sending a warning to the [left wing] group that if they attacked him or his allies, he would respond in kind.
This is no different than the MAD doctrine of the cold war which was used to maintain world peace. “ If you hurt us, you’re guaranteed to get hurt back.” The goal of such a position is to prevent the initial attack. If you’ve read or seen anything at all about this [leftist group] you know that they show up wearing masks and carrying weapons from nail embedded baseball bats to bear spray and even “milkshakes” made of fast drying cement. Their method is to blind side and sucker punch those who disagree with them, causing severe injuries in the process.
Is our Marine wrong for attempting to keep peace by threatening defensive and retaliatory actions against their cowardly, hateful acts?
*The red flag law suppresses this Marine’s free speech. He shows his support for our POTUS by wearing his MAGA cap. This expression of support is met with violence by the [left wing] group and the government, which is obviously turning a blind eye as the [left wing] group actively suppresses the speech of our MAGA cap man by treating him as the oppressor when, in truth, it is the other way around.
* Free Speech suppressed: By making an example of this citizen, free speech is chilled across the nation. People who support our president are often afraid to say so. Who knows how many MAGA caps are sitting idle due to the fear of official repression? Even in the penning of this article, I’m suppressing words and phrases in hopes that I won’t end up in FB jail.
* Due Process trampled. Our constitution enshrines due process in the 5th and 14th amendments. The 5th is part of our Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights lists rights of man. Rights which exist regardless of the existence of government. In fact, our government’s job is to protect these rights. Instead, the government deprived our Marine of his arms AND incarcerated him for 20 days in a pcych ward even though he had comitted NO crime whatsoever. No criminal trial, no jury of peers, just a tribunal of psych doctors who may or may not have a left leaning agenda.
* Our government placed our Marine at risk. Not only did the judge unconstitutionally incarcerate him for exercising free speech, and not only did the judge remove his means of personal protection, the judge doxed him to his enemies. Or Marine’s name was broadcast to the nation enabling the [left wing] group, or even common burglars, know that his household was unprotected. He risked his life for our country and our constitution and for that he gets unjust punishment by our government.
* The FBI is NOT part of due process yet they were complicit in the unconstitutional confiscation of property as well as unconstitutional incarceration. If you think the FBI is above having a political agenda then your head is in the sand. Our FBI, most recently, is a major player in the attempted coup against our sitting POTUS. But that’s just one scandal of many dating back to the days of J Edgar Hoover. In other words, our Marine’s free speech and due process were directly assaulted by a government agency which has been proven time and again to be a tool in the hands of the party in power.
Is that the world you want to live in?
