Possession's 9/10ths Of The Law!

At least, that's what we used to say when I worked "the beat". I started in '75 after a stint in the Army and retired in '15.

I spent over 40 yrs in Law Enforcement enforcing laws, keeping folks from killing one another... trying to keep folks from killing one another, breaking up fights, solving puzzles, riddles, crimes, etc. I responded to scenes that would curl the hair on anyone... cause folks to projectile vomit. I've been in those "loser-at best goes to jail" fights with bad guys and have visited emergency rooms or doctor's offices plenty of times after a wild and crazy shift. I've solved puzzles created by the most inhumane of animals in the world... humans... and I've ensured countless scum were put in their proper places over time.

Throughout that career we had sayings we'd use for most anything coming down the 'pike at us as we drove towards the problem we were dispatched to. One of my favorites was the line "Possession's 9/10ths of the law". Which, quite frankly meant if you're in possession of something whose ownership is being disputed when I show up then as far as I'm concerned, until proven otherwise you're the owner of whatever it is you're in possession of!

Key words... POSSESSION...and UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE.

Europe used to be a region of independent "nations". Each "nation" possessed its own government, its autonomy, its rules. Rules created by a government that the people, the citizens realized, understood and opted to either live, leave or die by. Rarely, rarely could an "immigrant" group change those rules to accommodate their own, preferred existence at the expense of the majority of their hosting nation's lifelong citizens.

But I guess in the European Union today "Possession's 9/10ths Of The Law" and those daesh, isis, isil, isieu... whoever, whatever. I guess those muslim "immigrants", "refugees" will be doing the talking soon, at least in the European Union. They seem to be in possession of the EU, its collective governments, its fractured states and they're changing those European Union laws as I write this.

The "immigrants", the "refugees"... those "religion of peace" folks, they're certainly letting it be known that the EU laws are unacceptable to them and being as they have the ear of the collective governments and they're dictating their expectations to those governments then it appears to me (at least) that the "migrants", "refugees", muslims are by proxy in possession of those governments.

Or so it seems.

Good Bye Europe. Too bad, so sad.
