In this country, we don't shoot people for stealing a few cigars. Yet.

Michael Daly Police in Ferguson, Missouri, once charged a man with destruction of property for bleeding on their uniforms while four of them allegedly beat him. “On and/or about the 20th day of Sept. 20, 2009 at or near 222 S. Florissant within the corporate limits of Ferguson, Missouri, the...

Angela Kocherga, KHOU 11 News EL PASO, Texas -- As a federal lawsuit challenging new abortion regulations in Texas moves forward, a deadline looms for clinics that have not complied. Half of the state's 40 clinics have closed, including a long time facility in West Texas. "It was devastating,"...

Taking money from the middle class and giving it to the upper, on the other hand, is the natural order of things. :rolleyes:
