Who are the bad guys?

Wed., June 5, 2013

The Spokane police officers catch and arrest the lawbreakers, put them in jail, and our so-called Spokane County Prosecutor Steve Tucker doesn’t do his job, so the court system slaps their hands and releases the crooks to do it again. The people of Spokane defending their property and loved ones are the bad guys.

Thanks to good ole Tucker’s invitation to lawbreakers, “I hope the message gets out, if somebody’s taking your property, you can only use necessary force.” So people, if somebody’s taking your property, you can ask them to stop, but don’t yell, keep a smile on your face.

For if the person falls and hurts himself, you are the one that will need a lawyer.
