I ran into an old friend and he was upset because his mom was "Red Flagged". Knowing his mom, I was shocked, because I just couldn't see this almost 90 year old, packing. It was evidently a traffic "red flag". If an elderly person gives the police any indication that they were confused, they can be "red flagged": their license is revoked, and they get a hearing.
Then he proceeds to tell me about his new job with some huge intelligence firm; the one that Snowden worked for. I immediately volunteered that Snowden is one of my heroes! To which he stated his opinion, "He should get a bullet!" "He took an oath!"
Well, old friends are just that: "old friends". How about the Constitution? Maybe we should be required to report to the DMV to take a biannual oath to the Constitution, as we are surrendering our 4th amendment: submitting our biometrics, and our personal information to the world elites data base? If we can get a red flag for owning a gun, or operating a vehicle, then maybe we should give one for not knowing our rights and duties of citizenship, as enumerated in the Constitution We could even give him a hearing.
