What is it with you people?

Amsterdam has long been my dream vacation. In my defense, I really want to see the Van Gogh museum.

They don't really shoot you as you walk out of a bar, but we do see the lines regarding "innocent until proven guilty" and "just cause" and "search warrants" and the like get moved ever so slightly, little by little, in the name of the greater good. One way, specifically, is "random" road stops...where they block off a road and stop say, every third car, for a random check. It's becoming common, but this town was a pioneer in this area. Flying just under the radar of constitutional rights.

There was a bar in town (a rather scary place that I don't frequent but that's not the point) which was recently closed by the cops after years of tactics designed to scare or intimidate the owner out of there. A bank wants the building so they can tear it down for a parking lot. Without getting into too many details, there were a lot of shady dealings going on with town bigwigs. In the end, you really can't fight city hall.

That's why God invented sniper rifles.
