You do know if you are in The Matrix, you won't be able to leave the country, right?

So, I'm scrolling through the news, and I come across this item, unique not because of the judgement against cops for killing his son, but for the fact that the grid is in place, and if the system tags you, you will not get out of the country, at least by anything other than foot.

Every day that goes by, I figure is one day closer we all get to becoming real life Von Trapps.

UNIONTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A man who got $12.5 million after suing state police for shooting his unarmed 12-year-old son has been arrested for trying to board a flight to Jamaica.

Thirty-nine-year-old Michael Hickenbottom Sr., of Uniontown, was arrested Tuesday at Pittsburgh International Airport. He is on parole for a 2006 conviction for possession with intent to deliver marijuana. He was originally given probation in that case, but later jailed for violating those terms.

A Fayette County judge issued a warrant after parole officials say he tested positive for marijuana. The judge lifted that warrant when Hickenbottom turned himself in Monday, but issued a new one Tuesday when Homeland Security officials alerted parole officials he was leaving the country.

Hickenbottom settled his suit in 2008, after state police appealed a $28 million verdict in the 2001 shooting death of his son, Michael Ellerbe.

I have nothing to hide, or escape from.

I just biked 160 miles on a rugged trail through mountains, beaches, and abandoned railroads this weekend with 80 lbs of gear averaging 10mph. I can also travel up to 50 miles/day by kayak on virtually any river, lake, ocean, or creek with a depth of at least 4 inches carrying up to 250 lbs of gear. I can walk/jog with 30 lbs of gear as much as 40 miles/day.

If I decide to leave, no one can stop me.

Mr. Puppy, Our Doomsday Prepper evaluators have rated you an 85 out of 100 on bugoutability.

Do I get extra points for foraging ability? I know all the edible plants within 500 miles of my home and how to prepare them, and know how to make snares and traps using only a pocket knife. I am also a competent archer, and slinger even knowing how to fashion them from local woods and fibers in the event my .22 breaks beyond repair or I run out of ammo.

Some skills obtained from the old guide who lived a few miles up the road from me as a child. Some learned through my current job as a professional trapper, and Some learned through Army scout leadership, cold weather leadership, and survival evasion resistance and escape schools.

Run and hide, or stay and fight? That is the question.

He who fights then runs away, lives to fight another day.

I'll fight if need be, but it will be as a guerilla and saboteur. Don't expect me to hold ground, or take ground if bugging out has a better chance of survival. I am the man who walks by himself, and all places are alike to me. I will only fight on my own terms when I have the advantage. Sun Tzu was pretty smart. He recommended avoiding a stronger opponent. Instead of facing him, harass his supply lines, set traps, and attack soft targets left defenseless. Guerilla warfare, or whatever you want to call it.

This.

In a guerrilla, revolutionary or counter revolutionary struggle, nothing will get you killed faster than trying to defend a fixed position against the forces of the state.

They have unlimited time and resources to call out against you.

We're all on the drone list already. Just waiting for our turn.

This drug war pisses me off. So now we cannot leave the country over Marijuana!?

Why!? WHY!? What is so evil about Marijuana!? We've been waiting since the Nixon presidency and they still haven't given a damn answer!

Exactly. In any conflict against a superior force, defending a fixed position should be considered a last resort -- a "take some with you" situation -- at least until the tide turns enough.

Can you make that fresh food taste good?

I have a lot to hide and escape from...like fascism in this country that my great grandparents warned me about (they feld fascist Italy for some of the same stuff happeing in the U.S. now).

But if "illegals" can sneak in, I can sneak out.

[pmbug]

Did I read the OP correctly that the man tried to leave the country while on parole? I'm pretty sure that parole conditions always require one to remain within a certain area for the duration of the parole. The alternative is to serve the rest of the sentence in jail.

 

[Domalais]

This case of the system working as intended is deeply troubling to me. Is this evidence that perhaps other systems are also working?

You might just be hardcore.
