Man arrested for practicing God-given right to bear arms in church

[NOVA]

Thats what I just told you....

despite popular mis-understanding, this provision did not declare that African Americans were three-fifths of a person. Rather, the provision declared that the slave states would get extra representation in Congress
for their 3/5 ths of the slave population, even though those states treated slaves purely as property.


Poor AssholeTroll

You remember slaves and the descendants of slaves?....Those were the people that Southern Democrats, ie. the KKK were lunching for 100 years after they were freed.....

The man was ordered held by Memphis Police on an involuntary commitment, which means the officers questioned his state of mind and his mental health.

No, BLABO, the police did not have to arrest the man.

They knew he'd done nothing criminal, but the church's "security director", is another Memphis cop, so they "questioned his mental health" when he reportedly told police that "people in society are a threat to him and that he must be vigilant."

Sounds like a right-wing militiaman, doesn't he?

I expect litigation for wrongful arrest will be filed shortly.




In the 13 Colonies, slavery was established shortly after the early settlements were established. Although many of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention were personally opposed to slavery, all of them recognized that many of the agricultural plantations depended on slaves for the workers. The institution of slavery was universally accepted in the South and there were slaves working in most of the colonies.

Delegates from three of the southern states threatened that their states would refuse to be a part of the national government if it denied their citizens the right to buy, sell, and own slaves.

Delegates from other states opposed slavery, but they wanted the southern states to be a part of the United States. The southern states wanted to count the slaves as population for representation in the new Congress.

The northern states didn’t want the slaves to count if they had no rights as citizens. They thought this would give the South an unfair advantage in votes taken in the House of Representatives. Finally the two sides reached a compromise. The slaves would count as 3/5 of a person.

A sword.

Edit: At least we know His followers carried. He did tell his disciples to sell their garment and buy a sword if they didn't have one. And Peter must have taken Him at his word.

John 18:10-11
Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?”

Notice that Jesus didn't condemn anything here....not even the use of the deadly weapon as an act of self defense. He just indicated that Peter needed to let things happen because that was what God intended for Jesus to do...be arrested and die on the cross.

As an aside, I always wondered what Malchus thought when Jesus healed him and put his ear back on. I wonder if he was as interested in arresting Jesus after that.

i have to be honest LR...if a surgeon cut my ear off and successfully reattached...id still sue the bastard.

So, you're saying that the south rigged the vote in it's favor?

I'd rather be 3/5ths a person than property.

pretty much. They were going to take their ball home and not play otherwise.

Clearly the man believed the Devil might come in and try to shoot him, so it was self-defence and he was protected by the Constitution and Supreme Court - but not by God: he was too heavily loaded with killing weapons to turn the other cheek and earn it!
