    | Durham County has agreed to pay anti-white-supremacy activist Dwayne Dixon $3,000 to settle claims that Sheriff Mike Andrews violated his constitutional rights of free expression, free association and the bearing of arms.
 
 In May, Dixon filed a lawsuit asking Andrews to pay $25,000 for improperly revoking Dixon’s concealed carry handgun permit issued a year prior.
 
 Under an agreement that is being finalized, the county will pay Dixon $3,000, County Attorney Lowell Siler confirmed.

    | Where is the rest of the article that tells us that elected officials were arrested for knowingly attempting to violate someone's rights?  Under federal law, 18 USC 242, it is illegal for anyone under the color of law to knowingly deprive any person of their rights. Then, in 18 USC 241, it is illegal to conspire to violate such rights. It is a felony with a prison term attached. So who arrests them when they break the law? |

                      | In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all — security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again. — EDWARD GIBBON [On ancient Athens] |  |  |
