While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Mankato, minnesota statute enforcement officers (acting under-color-of-law) arrest Joseph Burrell on two counts of felony possession of over the counter vitamins.

        Postscript: Burrell spent the next three months in jail, unable to afford his 250,000 “dollar” bail.  All charges were dropped two days before his trial was to begin, when prosecutors discovered the error.
