How about having an armed and unstable young man sitting in a pickup truck in EVERY neighborhood?

Goddamn, you want to talk about draconian, how about having an armed and unstable young man sitting in a pickup truck in every neighborhood. As far as this whole neighborhood watch business, it doesn't even occur to Moran that Trayvon Martin was actually one of the neighbors that George Zimmerman was allegedly protecting.

Well...except for the "pickups" part.

But it's all hunky-dory because they're there to protect and serve...the 1%.
