Kansas City Jaywalkers Beware!
With thousands of real crimes being committed throughout the city, the Kansas City police have decided that they need to pay special attention to those pesky jaywalkers. To catch these horrible criminals the KC Police are planning a sting operation complete with undercover cops. Why bother fighting real crimes against persons or property when you can easily extort more revenue from hapless citizens?
Many Americans are gearing up to celebrate our Independence Day this weekend. People will proudly wear their patriotic paraphernalia and pay lip service to the ideals of freedom and liberty, but if I can’t even cross the street as I choose without the risk of becoming a victim of aggression from armed representatives of the state, how can anyone possibly pretend that this is the “land of the free”.
I think I will celebrate Independence Day by putting on my favorite liberty t-shirt and giving the KC Police a great big proverbial stink palm by stepping off the curb and crossing the street as I see fit.
