No Quarter: The Ravings of William Norman Grigg
“Will often complained to me that his manuscripts were bowdlerized by … editors. (Don’t worry, I had to look the definition of the word “bowdlerized” up as well, the first time I heard him say it.) But these manuscripts are unedited, except by Will, which is to say they are literary masterpieces. This is Will Grigg, off the chain.” From the Foreword by Thomas R. Eddlem

I discovered Will Grigg a few years before his untimely death and immediately began following his work. I eagerly anticipated his articles, blog posts, and his weekly podcast. I was devastated when I heard that he had passed away. I couldn't help but hear his voice while reading this book, and my only complaint was that this book didn't include even more of his writings.
He was relentless in exposing cases of corruption, abuse, and double standards in law enforcement and at the local government level. A major problem is that we have law enforcement instead of peace officers. We have revenue collectors and law enforcement who routinely lie, create conflict, and unnecessarily escalate encounters with the public, which results in civil rights abuses and people being railroaded by the courts, that is if they are lucky to survive the encounter.
Is law enforcement good with just a few "bad apples"? Looking at the examples of atrocities committed by law enforcement, Will reminds us that one is an anomaly, two is a coincidence, three or more is a trend/pattern. The problem with the "bad apples" argument is that we don't simply have a few rogue police officers committing crimes. In reality, backed by qualified immunity, the "thin blue line", and deference toward police, violent, dishonest law enforcement agents routinely get away with lying and committing atrocities towards the public.
This book should help cure someone of their apathy towards law enforcement and the corrupt legal system.
Kudos to Scott Horton and the Libertarian Institute for putting this book together!

I was obsessed with Grigg in a past life. His frothy writing style and take prisoners approach to the state was inspiring. I'm happy I got to revisit some of his writings in this compilation. I would have loved to have been able fire up Pro Libertate to see him riff on our current Covid 19 lock down.
