Clarke tells his Wisconsin audience to have a plan to legally justify shootings and hypes vigilante violence: You dont need permission from the policeDAVID CLARKE (GUEST HOST): The question is when is government going to do something? Inaction is not a plan. You know what happens with inaction? People take the law into their own hands. Government is leaving them no choice. No choice. I dont advocate for some of the stuff thats starting to happen, but I am certainly done -- I am through with condemning it. Im done with that.
Im just telling people, Hey, youre on your own." Think about it, have a plan. Act reasonably. You have to act reasonably. Then youre going to have to articulate what you did afterwards. But you cant have government officials and law enforcement executives telling people, Do not take the law into your own hands." Well, youre forcing them to!
DAVID CLARKE (GUEST HOST): The majority of these gun purchases are first-time gun owners. And when we leave this up to the individual, its not going to end real pretty. But I dont blame them. Have a plan, think it through, be able to articulate it, and be reasonable. Its all the law requires. You have the right to defend yourself, you dont need permission from the police or a sheriff.

Surprised Trump couldn't find a place for him in his Administration.

Not only did this motherfucker allow a guy to die of thirst in his prison, hes also associated with Bannons Build the Wall scam.
An evil asshole from head to toe.
