From the article:
"Det. Sgt. Patrick Ryder, head of the Nassau County police asset forfeiture and intelligence section, likens himself to a modern-day Robin Hood. “I steal from the rich, the drug dealers, to give to the poor, the police."

I think Ryder kinda needs to read Robin Hood. It looks to me like he's got his roles reversed.

  Guess he forgot the role of the Sherriff of Nottingham, too.

    Yeah, and I bet Maid Marian isn't going to date him in the forest either.

      OTOH, he is like the Robin Hood that Ragnar despised, stealing from anyone because he can and keeping the spoils as a looter. Like that Hood he only attacks those he feels are weak.

        Tecnhically, Ragnar hated the memory of Robin Hood; the memory of taking from the rich and giving to the poor (when in fact, as Ragnar pointed out iirc, Robin Hood took from the government and gave back to the taxpayer).

Karl Marx "...the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property." He's winning. Sucks but true.

  Hmm. Do I own me or does the state?
  How many others does it take to invalidate my individual rights?
  Do guns or the majority decide truth?

    Mao said that political power comes from the end of a gun. You used to own you - no more.

That's just outright looting. And they didn't include the State DNR, which can also confiscate private property for just about anything they want.

Yes, but only until they say we don't.. so then, No.

That's why many people from Brookhaven have come down to the Space Coast, with their companies leading the way.
