The following is the first installment of this series, which recounts what many people who have not (yet) experienced our wonderful legal system will find totally unbelievable.  It is a portion of a criminal complaint that I've tried to put in front of the special grand jury.  The person I'm writing about in this particular segment, Kristin Tavia Mihelic, is an attorney for the Department of Injustice.  I’ve said this many, many times: after what I’ve been through with the world’s largest crime syndicate, absolutely nothing it does surprises me anymore.  Rest assured that what is posted below and what will be posted in this blog in the coming months is not the script for a Hollywood fantasy movie.  It is a 100-percent-true accounting of what has happened in just one of my experiences in the contraption we call our “justice” system.  I cannot urge you strongly enough to protect yourself now by getting a copy of our book, reading it cover to cover, and then sharing it with everyone you cherish.  As far as I know, it is the only such book in existence.  Read onward, but fasten your seatbelts first.  It's going to be quite a bumpy ride.....

As of today’s date, there have been 102 mass shootings in the United States just this year, and it’s only March.  The recent horrific mass shootings in both Atlanta and Boulder have again brought up the discussion advocating for gun reforms.  A once in a century pandemic cannot be the only thing that slows mass shootings in this country.  In many ways, our lives are starting to feel normal again after a long, difficult year filled with so much loss.  Sadly, the return to mass shootings is also a sign of a return to “normal” in the United States.

Can voters bring guns into polling places?  In most states, the answer is: it depends.  Only about a dozen states—including California, Arizona, Florida and Georgia—explicitly ban open and/or concealed carry in voting sites.  In much of the country, voters may bring firearms into polling places, as long as the buildings and churches do.  Those rules vary at the state and local level.

Benjamin Franklin once said, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”  But what would Franklin have given up to secure a lot of permanent safety—stopping a sometimes lethal microbe that has already killed thousands of Americans?  Like so much else in our world during these trying times, his maxim now faces a harsh test from COVID-19.
