Go to your local county courthouse. Get a load of how tyranny operates in the here and now.
After you are humiliated by being searched and scanned at the door, try to find an actual residential address for your judge, and consider the reason these dogs feel the need to hide from the public and subject the public to personal search humiliations for fear of assassination.
Go down to Clerk's cashier window. See the long line of patiently waiting "offenders" forking over money (under a misdemeanor ticket book stretching from the earth to the moon) under threat of imprisonment for the benefit of the judicial thieves and their uniformed public employee union henchmen.
Get called for jury duty and watch a $500 per day prosecutor (fully benefited and overhead loaded cost) and $800 per day judge (fully benefited and overhead loaded cost) subject you to humiliating interrogatories and demand that you serve under threat of "misdemeanor" for $30 wages per day as your "civic duty"
Watch the Sheriff's van pull out the jail house parking lot jammed full of assorted restraining order violators, DUI alcoholics, pot-heads, and delinquent in child support derelicts, at the cost of over $1,000 per hour (overhead loaded actual cost) to muck out the toilets at Fire Department Administrative headquarters to fulfill "community service" sentence mandates and con the public into believing "the prisoners are being made to work".
Go spend the day in District Court and get a load of real life street theater. It is an experience akin to bathing in a septic tank and it will let you know how impossible it is that a District Court judge (bottom rung wordsmith on society's sickening latter of judicial shame) could possibly be sane and endure "the parade" day after day.
Take a good look at the "public defenders" to see what the rock bottom rung of a profession that is built on a pyramid of status really looks like. They are the saddest sacks of an army of sad sack professional losers trying to earn a living in a system where who you know, where you went to school, and where you first worked mean everything.
"Public defenders" are like downs syndrome kids. The status game was never even available to them. They are "out of the womb" pathetic.
Take a good look at the judge (it doesn't matter if it is Superior Court of even one of the appellate courts or administrative tribunals) THEY ARE ALL PROFESSIONAL LOSERS AND KNOW IT.
And you can't even find a Nazi with a chrome helmet in there. A Nazi with the chrome helmet is at least under some delusion of hope. This is more like one of the halls of hell where the damned walk imprisoned and without hope. It's one of those "I'm better off dead but don't have the guts to kill myself" situations, professionally speaking.
That's the judicial system.
I hate judges but I pity them far more. As for the lawyers trapped in this system, my heart bleeds, my heart truly bleeds.
As for the derelicts that are partly the SUBJECT of the system, well, they're derelicts, what can you do?
