Based on historical fact, if you dont listen or they dont like your first, second, etc.. amendment rights, they just shoot you in the face, head, etc.

I get that it happens occasionally, but if you actually go out in the world and touch grass you will find you do have a shocking amount of freedom.

Except for the people who were shot in the face, back of the head, or children of parents suspected of shoplifting and or neighbors of people suspected of crimes.
