I doubt it. It may even be worse in the smaller towns. It’s just a little remarkable that Tom went off like this. I guess he’d had enough. I love his last quote: “We got lucky with Pagan.”

Re: the NH cops & prosecutors…is it any different anywhere else? Certainly not in Waterbury or Hartford.

Arrogance. It never ceases to amaze me how arrogant state actors can be sometimes. Not to get political, but those of us who want bigger and better government to do more and more things don’t seem to get that real government can be incredibly coercive and nasty, and the more of it, the more likely we are to see oppressive behavior. It probably never dawned on the attorney or the person who made the decision to sue this guy that they were trying to coerce a free person into doing government work.

What gets me is that they did next to nothing to prepare for this. No contingency, nothing. Now they expect to get their way because they’re the State. It’s going to suck at the end of the month, but they really should have been ready for it.

Ya gotta love the arrogance of the state–suing to force someone to provide services that they haven’t agreed to provide. What’s scary is that there are judges that would have actually agreed with the state. If I were the judge, I would have sanctioned the state for this nonsense.
