End the Pretense that Government Schools and Prisons Are Different
Posted by William Grigg on November 28, 2012 03:13 PM
*** begin quote ***
It’s for your own good, kids: The “Isolation Box” at Longview, Washingon’s Mint Valley Elementary School
Warrantless “drug sweeps” in government-run schools have become routine in recent years. So have “lock-down” drills in which SWAT teams conduct training exercises involving hostage or terrorism scenarios. In some lock-down drills, students inmates have been kept in the dark about the fact that the incident is a training exercise, rather than a genuine crisis.
Vista Grande High School in Casa Grande, Arizona, held a lock-down drug sweep on October 31. Students Inmates were confined to their classrooms, then led in small groups to another room where they were forced to line up against a wall and be searched with the help of drug-sniffing dogs. This exercise introduced a new element: Among the four law enforcement agencies involved in the search was a group of prison guards employed by the Corrections Corporation of America, the nation’s largest for-profit prison contractor.

We need the home schooling movement to break out.
I suggested a 40 year plan to end gooferment skrules during the tax revolts in Nu Jerzee. First 20 years was to get them out of the operations; the second 20 years was to end the funding.

RANT: You always have the right to secede

Parting Company
by Walter E. Williams
*** begin quote ***
For decades, it has been obvious that there are irreconcilable differences between Americans who want to control the lives of others and those who wish to be left alone. Which is the more peaceful solution: Americans using the brute force of government to beat liberty-minded people into submission or simply parting company? In a marriage, where vows are ignored and broken, divorce is the most peaceful solution. Similarly, our constitutional and human rights have been increasingly violated by a government instituted to protect them. Americans who support constitutional abrogation have no intention of mending their ways.
*** end quote ***
I like that Professor Williams always goes to the crux of the matter.
Do we have the RIGHT from Nature’s God to peaceful leave the Union?

RANT: Red Cross stymied by NYC Gooferment
Wednesday, November 28, 2012Article – Why there are no Red Cross shelters in New York City
Posted on November 21, 2012
*** begin quote ***
But that shelter operation never came to pass, and volunteers were told that the Red Cross would not be needing shelter workers. In the meantime, images of New York City’s many devastated neighborhoods filled nightly newscasts; and the housing situation for many New Yorkers grew increasingly dire. The city has estimated that between 20,000 and 40,000 residents could be homeless or forced to live in unheated homes with no running water or power. The conditions are particularly deplorable in the high rises that dot the landscape near the waterfront in Brooklyn and Queens. About 5,200 Staten Islanders have applied for FEMA housing, but according to the New York Post only 24 or so have been placed.
Criticism has rained down on the Red Cross for not providing places for this mass of displaced people to live, but it seems that the aid organization is not permitted to set up shelters in the city due to a snarl of red tape.
*** and ***
Moral of the story is, even if there are groups predicated on disaster services, and they get to the scene, and local governemnt has plans as well, there’s no guarantee anything is going to get done. You’re far better off preparing on your own.
Which, really, brings me to something I’ve been curious about. Everyone is related to everyone in NYC. Big Catholic, Jewish, Italian, Irish families with relatives spread all over the place….why are these people not staying with relatives?

RANT: Voting doesn’t matter; Opting out, aka secession, does
Saturday, November 17, 2012Jim Gearhardt
NJ 101.5
Jim:
I own several houses in NJ. (I’m in the process, as are many older retiring new jersey-ites, of transitioning from NJ to NH via VA. Personally I’m being driven out by the high taxes. Most notably the Inheritance Tax.) I knew when the Storms hit that the taxpayer would be paying.
Can I ask you to consider some points?
(1) Were these towns self-insuring? This may have been a decision to save money in the short-term. To spend on other priorities. Why is the taxpayer being punished for a decision that they had no input to?
(2) “No taxation without representation.” What a joke. I have a summer family property in Seaside Heights. How do I vote for lower taxes? Or about anything they decide?
(3) In the recent election, the “takers” won. People love “free” stuff. But what are they going to “take” when those that “make” stop “making”?
Sorry to sound like an old grump. I did HANJ. I did GRIP. I tea partied.
I know you say that “secession was settled by the Civil War and isn’t going to happen” is unthinkable. I would suggest individuals can secede by just not cooperating. Remember Martin Luther King and Gandhi.
“Yes. In the end, you will walk out. Because 100,000 Englishmen simply cannot control 350 million Indians, if those Indians refuse to cooperate.” — movie Gandhi (1983)
Peaceful. Non-violent. Non-cooperation.
Sound familiar?
I have enjoyed your morning rant for many years and now listen from VA via the inet. Thanks for the shore updates. Fight the good fight.
p.s., ½ the folks don’t vote and the ½ that did vote doesn’t make a mandate. And remember if voting made any difference, they would let us do it. “Democracy” is two wolves and a lamb deciding what’s for dinner. You have demonstrated to me that VOTING in NJ is meaningless.

RANT: Price “gouging” in a disaster; what nonsense
Friday, November 16, 2012Two Newark Gas Stations Accused of Price Gouging – Newark, NJ Patch
http://newarknj.patch.com/articles/two-newark-gas-stations-accused-of-price-gouging
——–
What nonsense.
There’s no such thing as “gouging”.
The marketplace always clears willing buyers and sellers.
By allowing “gouging”, the marketplace to sort who really needs gas from who REALLY REALLY needs it.
Plus, the “marketplace” has a memory. If someone “screws” me, when times normalize, then I will NEVER patronize that place again.
Gas in North Jersey should be much more expensive than gas in South Jersey. To satisfy the “extra” demand from New Yorkers, who need it more!
Maybe gas up there would float to 20$/gallon. Then the north jersey people will drive down to Central Jersey. And the price in central Jersey floats up to $10 a gallon.
And Central Jersey ites drive south for their gas.
Also the “greedy” oil companies say “I want to sell my gas for 20$/gallon”. First thing you know there’s more gas in North Jersey than they can sell.
I’m an injineer; not an economist. Them ekkynomists have all sorts of fancy names for it. I call it “common sense”.
Of course, then we have no need for politicians and bureaucrats to “implement rationing”. Just the King’s “weights and measures” guy. We don’t even need him. The gas station that delivers a short gallon will be found out by the marketplace. Which will administer its own brand of “rough justice”.
(The buyer with his five gallon can sees that the pump says “five” but his can ain’t full. And maybe the buyer will administer some “rough justice”. Joined by everyone waiting behind him. Then, when the cops break up the fight, and non one saw anything, they can arrest the seller for fraud.)
Basically, if the gooferment prevents force or fraud, then it should allow the “invisible hand” of the marketplace to “set” the price. The marketplace will efficiently and relentlessly punish the “gougers”!

RANT: Motorcyclist faults drivers
Thursday, November 15, 2012As the voice of the loyal opposition, traversing Route 95, I see some outrageous driving by moron-o-cycles. So, I think that we should feather back the soundbites. Remember NO politician who wants to be reelected will EVER mention “retesting”. As a little L libertarian, I think the Gooferment should leave driver “licensing” and auto “registration” to the evil insurance companies. And, “no victim; no crime”. If you have an accident, then it should be restitution. Speeding tickets and red light cameras are merely about revenue; not safety. If everything the State makes illegal (e.g., seatbelts), then my generation should have ended the human race. Argh!

Wednesday, November 14, 2012News Alert
from The Wall Street Journal
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta Tuesday asked the Senate to put on hold the confirmation of the top commander in Afghanistan, Marine Gen. John Allen, as the new NATO supreme allied commander for Europe following the discovery of allegedly inappropriate communications between the general and a Tampa social planner.
The planner, Jill Kelley, is at the center of a scandal involving Gen. Allen’s predecessor as the top coalition commander in Kabul, Gen. David Petraeus, who resigned as CIA director last week after acknowledging an extramarital affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell.

RANT: Veteran’s Day
Sunday, November 11, 2012RESPONDING TO BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY WISHING ALL VETS GOOD THOUGHTS FOR FIGHTING “FOR US” POSTED ON FACEBOOK.
Dearest Amy: As a Vet, who never really left the continental US, it’s only the “for us” that I have a problem with. Many times, say since 1860, but most definitely since 1900’s, and most recently in VietNam, as well as all the wars recently including Iraq, AfPAk, Libya, and on and on, have not been “FOR US”. Our political leadership have used the military as a tool for their own personal ends.
It’s a national disgrace when we have to have a “wound warriors” charity to take care of the women and men sent in our name for an unagreed ill-considered stupidity. (You know I’m a Ron Paul advocate.) We should have and should be bring every one of the boys and girls home. NOW!
I really laugh when politicians run as “peace candidates”. Even funnier, is when they say it with a straight face. Our leader’s foreign policy is to kill people. Even American’s. In cold blood, without even so much as an acknowledgement. “Collateral damage”.
The supposed anti-war movement of my generation and current is nothing more than an astro-turf wing of the liberal socialists in the Democratic Party. At least, the Republicans, with the exception of ROn Paul and the now small Taft-ing of the party, don’t even pretend to be at peace.
Finally, no one seems to see that via a policy of “abortion as birth control”, the USA has committed a genocide on itself. With an welfare / warfare state, the USA has impoverished future generations with a debt that can never be paid off. With a dumbed down State Indoctrination system called “publik eddykation”, the USA has become too stupid to think for itself. With Obamacare, you’ll now have the “best” of Soviet style medicine for the elite.
I’m sorry that past generations, including me, have failed to preserve the USA as the land of opportunity. For that, I apologize and wish you youngsters all the best in fixing our stupidity.

RANT: The election results sadden me
Thursday, November 8, 2012Huge unemployment, record numbers not working, welfare at an all time high.
Debt soaring, deficits increasing, fiscal irresponsibility.
Foreign policy in shambles. More wars, less peace.
Lying, cover ups, media bias.
Assault on the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Tenth Amendments.
Corruption and fraud in the elections.
Obamacare fundamentally seizes control of healthcare. Death panels start killing us. Cost exponentially increase.
Pro-Life and Catholic values rejected. Marriage redefined. I am taxed to fund activities I deem abhorrent and immoral.
A second term of even more radical action can be expected.
Sorry, but the American Experiment in Liberty is traveling down the road to ruin.
If anything, this election convinces me more that we have to figure out how to secede.
Looks like, things are going to get much much worse. As the takers have outvoted the makers. And, like the nursery story, The Little Red Hen, the producers have no incentive to cooperate in the theft of the fruits of their labors.
I’d predict that the “productive class” will coast and the economic will get even worse.
I just don’t understand the logic.
But, I will not be abused. I will not be robbed, I will not kneel.
I do NOT consent.

RANT: Yeah, I’m one of “We, The Sheeple”
Saturday, November 3, 2012Dear Usual:
Re: @0715 Tyne — just to confirm trip to 51f is off. I’m still torqued, but Jill’s email convinced me to “pick another battle”
Last night at midnight when I drove past the long gas lines, after I had read my shore neighbor’s email during a rest break, I made a decision to wimp out. I send out “stand down” messages to the “patrol” that was going to “support” my assault on Seaside Heights. I was fully expecting to get arrested.
But somewhere inside my inner cowardice took over and, with a typical Oregonian attitude, “why bother”? Earlier in the day, after my shore plumber told me not to worry about freezing pipes (i.e., one of the big missions was to open the crawlspace main drain in a lame attempt to save the water pipes). He said the first hard freeze doesn’t come until December and, with no pressure on in the house, damage was in his opinion unlikely). (He also as much as said that I could do more damage messing around with “his plumbing”. LOL! It’s everyone’s house but mine.)
My shorts are still in knot because armed men masquerading as “the police” with orders from the gang calling itself the “town council of Seaside Heights” and “Ocean County” have stolen my property. That I’ve paid extortion called “property taxes” for more than 30 years. What do you call when men dressed in funny clothes with guns prevent you from getting to your land? Sorry but it’s just another day in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee. Differs from North Korea only by degree.
Note the “gas rationing” by the supposedly Republican Governor of the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee!
Note that supposed rational of this “martial law” order is that it’s “too dangerous”. Look at the videos. Not to dangerous for TV reporters with their generators and truck. “Authorized workers”. Owners of the boardwalk businesses. People who rode out the storm. And, various people seen in the background loading cars from their properties. Note the way the “Chief of Police of SSH” talks to an upset property owner. Like an arrogant ruler to a subject; not an employee to his boss who pays his salary.
Note that NO WHERE ELSE in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzeeare property owners denied access. Not Ac. Not LBI. Nowhere.
And, in my neighbor’s email, she cites that they haven’t been able to control looting. People are stealing boats in Toms River to go over and loot from the devastation.
I always knew that the Gooferment was oppressive. This time its boot came down a little too hard and a little too obvious.
When my 65th birthday came and went, I figured out that I could then sign up for the Free State Project. I did; now I’m really glad I did.
“Live free or die”,
fjohn
p.s.: I’ll be opening up “wimpy@reinke.cc” to receive abuse and “I told you so’s”! Argh!

Television coverage listed his start time at 12:25pm but that referred to Eastern Standard Time (EST), which is 11:25am Central Time (CT).
He said: “I was just casually strolling out of my hotel room when I got a phone call saying you have 25 minutes.
“I have never been so worried driving to the course. Luckily there was a State Trooper outside who gave me the escort, if not I would not have made it on time.”
Officials confirmed that if McIlroy was two minutes late he would have forfeited the opening hole while five minutes late, he faced disqualification.

RANT: Obama White House’s cronyism
Thursday, August 16, 2012Did White House Commit Perjury About GM Bailout?
Posted 08/07/2012 06:55 PM ET
*** begin quote ***
Cronyism: In recent days, the scope of the Obama White House’s cronyism has become shockingly apparent. A trove of emails shows it deprived thousands of workers of their pensions to benefit unions, then lied about it.
The news site The Daily Caller has obtained internal government emails that show the U.S. Treasury Department, led by Timothy Geithner, pushed in 2009 to end the pensions of 20,000 non-union employees of GM’s Delphi auto parts unit as part of the auto bailout.
What’s truly outrageous is that, while those workers were cheated of their full pensions, union employees of the same Delphi company got their pensions paid.
This financially ruinous favoritism of union workers over nonunion workers is blatantly unfair, illegal and a violation of Constitutional guarantees of equal treatment under the law. And the reason is political.
By its own reckoning, organized labor spent nearly $400 million to get Obama elected in 2008, more by far than any other interest group. So it’s no surprise the White House punished nonunion workers and rewarded union members when it came time to “bail out” GM.
Total value of the auto industry bailout to the unions was, by one estimate, $26 billion. For the unions, their $400 million was money well spent indeed.
What’s disturbing is it now appears several White House officials may have lied about how this obvious favoritism came about. Looking at the record, Treasury and White House officials appear guilty not just of political malfeasance, but of perjury as well. On this, the Daily Caller’s email cache is damning.
*** end quote ***
Frau Reinke was always enraged about “losing” her 5k$ GM bond to the Gooferment bailout.
We knew it was a corrupt bargain, but there was no recourse.
The public, bondholders, preferred stock holders, … … everyone got <synonym for the past tense of the procreation act.>!
She didn’t loose her “lunch money”. But it still hurt her.
The pensioners lost their “lunch money”!
That’s not right.

RANT: U6 is 15%
Friday, August 10, 2012Jobless Rate Climbs to 8.3 Percent, Creating More Anxiety for Obama and the Left
Posted by Daniel J. Mitchell
*** begin quote ***
Can we finally all agree that Keynesian economics is a flop? The politicians in Washington flushed about $800 billion down the toilet and we got nothing in exchange except for anemic growth and lots of people out of work.
Indeed, we’re getting to the point where the monthly employment reports from the Labor Department must be akin to Chinese water torture for the Obama administration. Even when the unemployment rate falls, it gives critics an opportunity to recycle the chart below showing how bad the economy is doing compared to what the White House said would happen if the so-called stimulus was enacted.
*** end quote ***
http://portalseven.com/employment/unemployment_rate_u6.jsp
*** begin quote ***
What is U6 unemployment rate ?
The U6 unemployment rate counts not only people without work seeking full-time employment (the more familiar U-3 rate), but also counts “marginally attached workers and those working part-time for economic reasons.” Note that some of these part-time workers counted as employed by U-3 could be working as little as an hour a week. And the “marginally attached workers” include those who have gotten discouraged and stopped looking, but still want to work. The age considered for this calculation is 16 years and over …
*** end quote ***
U6 is 15%
FIFTEEN PERCENT!!!
Why is not the lead on every news report?

RANT: And he might have been mistaken for a SWAT officer by arriving police
Saturday, July 28, 2012Aurora, Colo., shooting spree: A day of tears for victims and of twists in case
By David A. Fahrenthold, Thomas Heath and Joel Achenbach, Published: July 22
*** begin quote ***
AURORA, Colo. — Sunday was a day to mourn here — and ask, fruitlessly, why.
Two days after a shooting rampage killed 12 people and wounded 58 in a movie theater, President Obama flew in to praise victims and survivors. And Colorado leaders held the first large public memorial service, asking a crowd of thousands to repeat “We will remember” after each of the 12 names.
Away from these rituals, new details emerged about the suspect, James Holmes, 24. Authorities said the gunman might have killed more if his assault rifle had not jammed. And he might have been mistaken for a SWAT officer by arriving police, had not one officer spotted something odd in his body armor.
*** and ***
A law enforcement source, who is close to the investigation but not authorized to speak publicly, said something went awry in the killer’s planned assault at the theater. Police said the alleged gunman had three weapons: a Remington shotgun, a Smith & Wesson M&P assault rifle and a Glock .40-caliber handgun.
The assault rifle, which is akin to an AR-15 and is a civilian version of the military’s M-16, could fire 50 to 60 rounds per minute and is designed to hold large ammunition magazines. The source said that Holmes allegedly had obtained a 100-round drum magazine that attached to the weapon but that such large magazines are notorious for jamming.
The law enforcement official said authorities think the gunman first used the shotgun — some victims have buckshot wounds — and then began using the assault rifle, which jammed. Then he resorted to the handgun.
*** and ***
Initial police accounts said he surrendered without incident to officers who found him at his car behind the theater complex. But Oates, in an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday, described a more complicated scene in the minutes after the shooting. He said police arriving at the scene might have mistaken Holmes for a SWAT officer. He was allegedly dressed in black ballistic gear, including a helmet, a throat guard, a vest, leggings and gloves.
Oates said a piece of equipment in Holmes’s elaborate gear — he would not specify which piece — struck one of the responding officers as irregular. The officer questioned Holmes. Oates did not describe the exchange, only the result: Holmes was arrested.

We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: “We will not go quietly into the night!” We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

In my worldview, the ONLY reason for “government” is for its supposed protection of “We, The People”.
It has CLEARLY failed. It’s failed the victims. It’s failed the communities. AND, probably more importantly it’s fail the taxpayers.
Imagine “government protection” is a service that your buying with your tax dollars — both overt and those hidden taxes I love so much like inflation and debt. Are you happy with your service in the “Sandusky” matter?
Immoral, ineffective, and certainly hugely inefficient.
Bear in mind that Penn State is a Gooferment “subset”. And, assumed voluntarily by Pennsylvania laws about teachers a higher standard of care for those under its dominion. (Note the root of that word “dominate”. Implies force.)
So it didn’t protect little kids; that’s immoral. Didn’t protect the community from a two legged varmint, And, spent a HUGE amount of resources NOT doing its job.
And, why wasn’t this plea bargained out? Not that I want him to get a wrist slap, but why did we have to pay for a circus?
I smell a politician wanting publicity.
TV camera and newsprint.
As a taxpayer, I’d gig EVERYONE in the prosecution chain of command for this waste of taxpayer money. All involved should have made a deal: he goes away until he’s 100, we convict on ONE fellony charge, and he rats out everything he did, who knew, when did they know, how he got away with it, etc. etc. etc.
We have to have some lessons learned!

RANT: On the “death penalty”

Reinke: ‘This is not a normal day’
Posted by Betsy
June 12, 2012 8:10 a.m. – Updated: 8:11 a.m.
*** begin quote ***
“We’re here today to carry out the court order,” Idaho state Corrections Director Brent Reinke announced to the press this morning at an early-morning briefing, …
*** end quote ***
Nuremberg is a city in the German state of Bavaria, in the administrative region of Middle Franconia. Situated on the Pegnitz river and the Rhine–Main–Danube.
The Nuremberg defense: “I was just following orders.”
Didn’t work for the Nazis!
I follow the news about all my “kinsmen”. While not the most uncommon name in the world, I don’t know ANY other related “reinke’s”. And, only a few unrelated Jaspers who share the name. (I try not to embarrass them for the purposes of a Google search.)
This saddens me.
Where does the State ever get right to kill its “citizens” in cold blood? One libertarian philosopher I read once made the case that in RARE instances, it might be justifiable, if the human represented a “clear and present” danger to society (i.e., a Doctor Hannibal Lecture that was too dangerous to confine). But that would be an extreme rarity.
I’m hard pressed to find this comparable to that.
IF faced with such a “duty”, I’d have to resign.
Makes me think of Saint Thomas Moore.
“And when we die, and you are sent to heaven for doing your conscience, and I am sent to hell for not doing mine, will you come with me, for fellowship?” Paul Scofield as Thomas More in “A Man for All Seasons” (1966)
So would you, could you kill a fellow human being, no matter how flawed. If the Eastern philosophers are correct, we are all but “fingers” on the same “hand”.
Would you cut off one of your fingers without a very very very good reason?
And the death penalty is as final as we can get. No eraser can make it right.
Nope, sorry, this is “wrong” by any standard I can find.
And, if an individual doesn’t have the right to do it, then creating a mob or a Gooferment doesn’t change the calculus.

RANT: A personal EMP; I love it

Low-Tech Solutions To High-Tech Tyranny

Electronic Surveillance In General
Whether it be a CCTV camera, or a body scanner, sometimes the best option is not to evade or disguise, but to pull the plug entirely. At least, that was James’ point of view after the control grid went into overdrive and he couldn’t walk his dog without a blue-shirted Swedish agent fondling him on the sidewalk or forcing him to stroll through a body scanner. Finally, he had had enough, and so, decided that if they wanted to track every move of every person, it was going to cost them.
Using commonly available parts, James built a personal EMP device. Its range was dependent on the size of the power supply he tied to it, but when used properly, it would zap anything with a circuit within several feet of him:
http://www.amazing1.com/emp.htm
The Body Scanners were useless. RFID tags went blank. CCTV cameras shorted. They would eventually be replaced, but the cost would be high, and as long as he didn’t get caught, James could experience, at least for a short time, the America of the past…
*** end quote ***
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . .” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Just have to make it expensive and dangerous to be a tyrant!

RANT: Multiple DUIs
Thursday, May 31, 2012Instead of focusing on the average joe who has a beer with dinner, this is the problem! 4 DUIs. Why is he out of jail?
Of course, then the problem would be solved and no need for “checkpoints” as revenue raising.

CHIEF RAYMOND J. HAYDUCKAAdvisory: Cops catch drunk driver after near collision and chase
Hi fjohn reinke,
A drunk driver, who had been convicted four times previously for driving while under the influence, was arrested Saturday morning after nearly striking a police car and leading officers on a chase. The incident began at 1:30am as Sergeant Frank Lombardo was driving east on Route 522. William Campbell age 52 of Franklin Park was operating his 1994 Ford pickup truck south on North Umberland Way. He entered the intersection of Route 522 without stopping and nearly ran into Sergeant Lombardo’s marked patrol car. The sergeant had to slam on his brakes to avoid a collision.
The sergeant then activated his lights and siren attempting to stop the vehicle. The pickup truck accelerated and struck two curbs as it winded through the South Ridge Townhomes development. Campbell then pulled onto New Road and headed east. He turned off of New Road into a commerical development accelerating behind some buildings. Sergeant Lombardo pursued him behind the buildings where Campbell made a U-turn and came back at the officer. Sergeant Lombardo was able to get his vehicle out of the way as Campbell pulled pass. Campbell then pulled up to the rear of one of the commercial buildings and parked his vehicle. He stumbled out of the driver’s seat without explanation. Sergeant Lombardo was able to arrest Campbell without further incident.
Campbell, who in addition to four driving while under the influence convictions has ten license suspensions, was charged with driving while under the influence and eluding. He was transported to police headquarters and processed. His bail was set at $25,000. He was lodged in the Middlesex County Correction Center in default of bail.
