Yeah, Hampsterdam, that was a big success. Did we watch the same show?

Here's another movie you might enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRsj-RPoFaI. Try to make it through all 5 minutes without thinking the phrase "worthless thug."

Cops, you'll be surprised to know, generally know how to use their weapons. Still, shit happens. For every innocent American whacked by a cop, there are probably a hundred whacked by a "worthless thug." What kind of defender of the innocent worries more about the former than the latter?




Hampsterdam was a huge success. Until politics got involved and caused the whole thing to be shut down. In fact it worked so well that a Governor lost job because he wasn't willing to shut it down when he found out about it.

You do realize that cops have no obligation to protect you right? That was a supreme court ruling. Being between a cop trying to shoot someone is exactly as dangerous as being between a "worthless thug" trying to shoot someone.
