Virtual House Arrest Ordered for Minors in East St. Louis

Angered by the recent murders of four young people, the mayor announced today that police are going to impose drastic new measurers to keep teens off the streets. “There is something going on in the community at this point that we’ve got to safeguard them and keep them off the streets,” Mayor Alvin Parks said. “There are people shooting at each other for no reason whatsoever.”

Trinity said...: If "successful" and legally sustainable in this neighborhood look for it to be a coming attraction to a neighborhood near you. This way DHS can more readily justify the massive ammo purchases they have been making.

Napolitano and her upper level sycophants in TSA must be have wet dreams over being "justified" in placing goon squads in local neighborhoods.

Achtung...papers pulease...

Good thing natural, inalienable rights are inherent to the human condition, and the Constitution merely enumerates them.; September 27, 2012 at 11:14 AM

Anonymous said...: East St. Louis is more ghetto than ghetto's in Detroit.

Murder city. The media ignore it because it's ghetto and it's not safe for media to go there. It only makes the news when some politician tries to do something that may save a life or two.

The city is "locked down" with violence most of the time anyway. This may not be a bad move nor will it be viewed by the good people of that community as bad.

Truthfully, there are more LE from all agencies in ESL than you can imagine. It's a bad place with a whole lot of bad, real bad, players.

One day without finding a dead body or a violent murder is unusual. Tomorrow will make up for the lull. It's that bad ...; September 27, 2012 at 3:20 PM

Kurt surely does have the right of it. "Evil exists because good men don't kill the government officials committing it."

Or as I like to say, "Ain't nothin' wrong with the Government that a few well placed rifle rounds wouldn't fix."

Land o' the free an' home o' the brave. Says so right here on the label.; September 28, 2012 at 1:56 PM
W W Woodward said...: Yeah, mayor. Just issue orders to your LEOs to kill any of the little bastards they find out after dark. That ought to keep them from killing each other. Constitution? You must be kidding!

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
