In a ridiculous move, ostensibly designed to protect citizens from theft, the New Haven police department has begun stealing things from innocent individuals.
Yes, you read that correctly.
The New Haven police department announced its plans this week to start stealing things from unsuspecting residents who leave their doors unlocked. If you are missing your valuables, it may not have been taken by a private thief, it could have been stolen by a public thief.
According to Lt. Herbert Sharp of the NHPD, police are now taking private property from unlocked cars and bringing it to the station. This, of course, is done so to “deter theft.”
Sharp assures the public that when his officers are opening the door to your property and removing your belongings, with no search warrant and no probable cause, that this is 100 percent legal. “It’s called a caretaker,” explains Sharp.

Theft by government.

DeleteYup.
If I catch them pretending to steal my stuff while actually stealing my stuff can I pretend to shoot them while actually shooting them? Yankees are strange people.

I am using the term historically to designate that peculiar ethnic group descended from New Englanders, who can be easily recognized by their arrogance, hypocrisy, greed, lack of congeniality, and penchant for ordering other people around."

I concur with that definition of "Yankee" adding "including the group descended from those who were stupid enough to believe that Mr. Lincoln told the truth about Fort Sumter or believed that Mr. Lincoln, Grant, and Sherman are not war criminals."
