The simplest idea is often the best

Last week there was considerable buzz about Neo-Nazis patrolling Sanford, Florida. Professor William Jacobson had a simple, but brilliant, idea: let's just call up the police department down there and see if there's any truth to the story.

As it turns out, the story was bogus. Kudos to Professor Jacobson.

And withering scorn for Eric Holder's Justice (Ha!-Ha!) Department for taking no action in connection with the bounty placed on George Zimmerman's head by the New Black Panther Party.

I mean, is this considered ok, now? For individuals or non-government organizations to offer bounties for the apprehension, "dead or alive", of private citizens? Because if it is [extracts legal-size sheet of paper from pocket, filled with names], I've got some money-making opportunities for you bounty hunters out there...

Bounty hunting is ONLY legal when done by a licensed agent of a bail bondsman. The Bondsman is specially privileged by law to do this.

But it is a private action, even if only under the auspices of a court. The client authorizes it in his bond application.
