Good news, though! We lost the War on Poverty and the War on Drugs and we're losing the War on Pussy, but we're winning the War on Freedom!

Continuing in this thread, from an area newspaper/fish wrapper:

"... Police helped the Department of Homeland Security execute warrants in connection with a suspected human trafficking ring Wednesday morning."

How in the hell is human trafficing a Homeland Security issue?

They have a high-risk SWAT action and "Thirteen local officers and an armored vehicle were used in the bust. Johnson said he didn't know if any arrests resulted."

And what is HS so afraid of? That's offering a level of violence far beyond what Leroy Brown or Velvet Jones might offer.
