It's a megachurch (they have 4-20k followers) and within that they have a school. Since they cannot use public funds - it is their form of campus police. BTW: This isn't the first time a church has done this. Police forces should be left to the local government. If the church has issues - pay the local government to do the policing - That seems to me as a flagrand mixing between church and state - or at the very least the church making a stab at BEING the state.

There are plenty of non-governmental police forces. Large hospital systems have them. Private universities and colleges have them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Breaking and entering as well - I wonder - after she picked up the weapons . . . was it armed robbery at that point? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would imagine that for her it is a little like it is for you in the other thread. It's important to be pro-active when dealing with threats. Only instead of getting off the first shot like you are hoping, she is more into disarming her potential assailant. As the court ordered but could not or would not enforce. We all have to survive somehow. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, it was not possible to know which direction your sarcasm was aimed in. That's another one of your posting hallmarks. You like to keep it a little vague so that you can always claim to be misunderstood. The regulars here are mostly onto just how slippery Turtles can be. BTW, yes if you go back to the original story she was charged with armed burglary or some such gun related offense.

White collar theft gets treated quite differently from blue collar theft. Stealing some bread to feed a child should be treated differently from stealing a million to buy a car.
