214. How does a felon being tracked down by food stamp application
get transformed into a political vendetta?


Let's just stop that foolishness, shall we? This has nothing to do with political revenge. It's law enforcement officers attempting to do their jobs...taking felons off the streets. Make them take responsibility in a court of law, either be found guilty or not guilty by a judge or jury. That's it.


I mentioned it somewhere up above, and I'll say it again.

Most of the information on those applications can be found in any number of other places anyway. Using the applications makes it a little easier for law enforcement to DO THEIR JOBS and get these felons off the streets instead of having to check five or six other places.

The "poor starving children" of these felons argument doesn't work.

Neither does the "Political vendetta" thing.


You know, it's not like I can't understand the point of people who would not want their personal information shared by law enforcement. I get it. Really, I do.

But it's not illegal, and people who hate it so much maybe should do whatever they need to do in order to MAKE it illegal or unconstitutional.
