You Will Behave As The Authorities Desire Or Face The Consequences

While we watch the feds spying on us and wonder how we ended up with a government running roughshod over our rights, there are smaller but equally disturbing cases that indicate that people with power are not our friends. Take this one, the one in which a West Virginia teen -- an eighth grader at the time -- was ordered to remove his NRA T-shirt in school because, well, it was an NRA T-shirt, and now he faces a year in jail and a fine for "obstructing an officer," which the police say was because he was talking. No, really, they say the kid's talking hindered the cop's ability to do his job. They're serious. And there's no indication that the kid was being threatening or violent, period. I'm sure the police and the school would never admit that they're doing this to exact a little revenge (against a kid!), but you draw your own conclusions. (WTRF-TV/Wheeling)
