Because We Say So

RedStateVT turns today to local Vermont news where a Burlington Free Press story discusses the death of an armed robber at the hands of a store clerk. For those of you who do not follow local Vermont stories, this type of crime happens ALL THE TIME here, the state being plagued with abusers of prescription drugs. 


Here is what we learned of the deceased burglar:
- Her autopsy indicated that she was "acutely intoxicated with cocaine."
- She wielded a knife during the burglary.
- She was the mother of four children ages 9 months to 19 years. 


No doubt this poor soul had a tough life, but no doubt she made some really bad decisions along the way. Getting hooked on drugs was one. Getting pregnant at age 15 (she was 34 when she died) was another. Continuing to have children was yet a third. 


But here is the kicker to the BFP story:  
"The Attorney General’s Office also intends to review the Vergennes case. Attorney General William Sorrell has said his office could levy charges against the clerk, or ask a grand jury to consider whether charges are warranted."


Yes, you read that correctly. The AG is considering charges against the clerk who subdued a knife-wielding drug addict. Only in Liberal America. Years ago, the clerk would have received a commendation on the steps of City Hall from the mayor. Not any more. 


Liberals have found a new class of victims: armed drug addicts.
