The responding sheriffs and everyone in the chain of command who approved or overlooked this literal highway robbery, and all related federal employees, should be jailed. This is instead going to turn into a burden for taxpayers at best. Civil forfeiture is theft. It should be legal for victims to respond with force just like they would if they were facing any other criminal.
Every single senator and president and house representative of both parties should also be voted out for not banging their drums on civil forfeiture and passing legislation yesterday to forbid it.
It will never get better until we do vote them all out, and we have to vote them out every election like a revolving door. Retaining the seat should be the exception not the norm. This stuff has been going on for a long time. I'm convinced they're all corrupt and rotten, it's just a matter of degree. They're great salesmen and saleswomen. They'll tell you what you want to hear, but it seems every election cycle, they only do whatever helps themselves and their donors. I don't care how the sausage is made, the sausage is rotten.
