The Case of Cory Maye

Hello!

My name is Greg Mills and I was kindly ushered into the hallowed estates of CLeAr (or is it ClEAr?) many months ago, and I have yet to post. Are you as giddy as me? My nom du blog is Lil' Bobo. A really dumb name, I know. Anyway, my post:

Over at The Agitator, we find the case of a Mississippi man. Cory Maye, on death row for killing a cop...a cop who happened to be leading a drug raid into the wrong house. The raid team bursted into Mr. Maye's condo unannounced, in full paramilitary gear with arms drawn. Maye, who had no prior record, was home alone with his one year old daughter.

The name and address on the warrent was that of Mr. Maye's neighbor.

Mr. Maye, faced with a squad of unidentified paramilitaries raiding his house, shot one in the abdomen and kills him. Mr. Maye is now sitting on Mississippi's death row for defending his home.

If there was ever a cause libertarians and progressives should come together on, this case is it.
