Wilhoit time!!!! “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

This officer earned a bad reputation among Sag Harbor’s wealthy car-brained residents — who called him “the Sag Harbor Nazi” and “little red-headed dipshit” — for *check notes” stopping a guy for making an illegal u-turn and same guy for using a mobile phone while driving. 🙄
