Although crime is falling in this country, the babbling brook of bullshit, the mainstream media, always fill your mind with horrible crimes, giving the authorities an excuse to put in place more surveillance and more control over the ordinary people. Cameras everywhere, stop and search, ID cards, everything to keep tabs on you, to make sure they know who you are, where you are, why your there and have you got permission to be there. However we haven't yet gone as far as the good sheriff of Paragould in Arkansas, who has declared marshal law on the good citizens of his patch.

In response to a recent increase in crime, Paragould Mayor Mike Gaskill and Police Chief Todd Stovall offered residents at a town hall meeting Thursday night at West View Baptist Church what could be considered an extreme solution — armed officers patrolling the streets on foot. Stovall told the group of almost 40 residents that beginning in 2013, the department would deploy a new street crimes unit to high crime areas on foot to take back the streets.
"[Police are] going to be in SWAT gear and have AR-15s around their neck," Stovall said. "If you're out walking, we're going to stop you, ask why you're out walking, check for your ID."
Stovall said while some people may be offended by the actions of his department, they should not be. "We're going to do it to everybody," he said. "Criminals don't like being talked to."
And a Happy New Year to you lot!!
