Oh my yes..We have no say in our own protection from ourselfs..and should never question their judgements..our current situation reminds me of a short story I read once..It was about devices made to "protect" humankind..and it was quite a dark read..ended very bleakly as well. Although fiction, some elements of it are fast approaching..and WE have a chance to change the ending...If WE so choose..?..Will WE?
BTW The young lady in question has chosen to use a public defender in her first court apperance.
