Restitance is No Longer Futile -- Now it is Outright Illegal

An Indianapolis court has just ruled that citizens have no right to resist when a cop tries to enter their home -- EVER. That's right, whether the police entry is legal or not you cannot resist. If you do, you will be violently subdued, arrested, and criminally charged.

In support of this ludicrous ruling the court said, "We believe ... a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence." Against public policy? Incompatible with a constitutional right to be free from unreasonable governmental intrusions? These justices are out of their minds. They simply could not be more wrong on this issue. Both public policy and that damn Fourth Amendment explicitly allow citizens to resist illegal entry into their homes. Even a stupid child would understand that.

I, for one, will not tolerate these kinds of blatantly incorrect readings of my rights. If the courts get it wrong as they surely did here, we as citizens must resist. We are morally obligated to throw off such tyranny. If anyone tries to enter my home illegally I WILL RESIST. I promise.
