But here's a related statistic that's pretty mind blowing in and of itself: According to the FBI, in 2011 there were 3991.1 arrests for every 100,000 people living in America. That means over the course of a single year, one in 25 Americans was arrested.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

I know S&F was a big reason why I (and my wallet) didn't come within 50 miles of NYC.

Poor reasoning.

The 1 in 25 Americans were arrested only works if no one was arrested more than once.

Can you estimate how many repeat customers you get in a year, Chris? I'm betting you know many of them on sight.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

We have an excellent frequent flier program.  I would estimate a good third of my cases are repeat customers, either on new charges or probation violations.

Another thing to consider is that there are a good number of bench warrants issued for failing to appear at court.
