Sic Semper Tyrannis ! Vol. 22 — Spanked Teen

Doug began by saying, “A week ago tonight I was sleeping on the street in this box. If I'd gotten killed, nobody would have known or cared.

“But God has now worked in my life by a very unusual series of events, and tonight five thousand of you have come here to pray for me. My attorney has advised me that he believes there will be a plea bargain, and that I will avoid jail time.”

“I have frankly admitted my guilt - indeed, I could hardly have denied it, since more than a thousand people saw me do it - and we've given a tape of the event to anyone who asked for one.”

Doug put his arm around Chris's shoulder, and said, “If I'd had my way, my bro would be lying out in the cemetery right now. Throughout human history, taking the life of another human being has been considered the most heinous act one could commit. And throughout the remainder of my life, I will have to live with the knowledge that I attempted to commit this darkest of all deeds against someone I didn't even know and certainly had no reason to dislike.

“I have told you why I did it; I did not call the name of the individual at CPS who gave me the gun. But while that may mitigate, it certainly does not excuse, what I did. Only I bear the responsibility for charging down the aisle, pressing this pistol (and he pulled it out of his belt and put it against Chris's head) against my bro Chris's head, and pulling the trigger. Don't worry, this time, it's not loaded.

“I am prepared, with God's help, to pay the price for what I did - attempted murder, in cold blood. My only conceivable defense would be that I lacked the requisite mens rea or scienter. I didn't hate Chris, I didn't want to see him dead, or even hurt.

“And I have a clean record - no priors. I have confessed to you, and will not deny to the judge, that I have drunk alcohol and smoked pot, both of which are illegal. I will also confess to having, on a few occasions, committed acts of petty theft while I was living on the streets. But I had never before committed any act of violence against any person, or anyone's property."

Sic Semper Tyrannis is a memoir about a time, not so long past, when men were free, religious values were taken seriously. and parents were allowed to pass on the cultural heritage to their children without governmental interference. As David Selznick remarked concerning the Antebellum South, "Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization gone with the wind . . . "

This fictional account is the story of what might have been, had Christian parents possessed the courage of their convictions. It depicts the use of spanking and other types of physical correction, from the perspective of an adolescent boy.

Twelve year old Billy Martin has been suddenly uprooted from the only home he knows, in liberal Stockholm, and sent to live with his eighteen year old brother, Bob, who has recently joined an ultra-conservative religious group in Idaho.Billy, a high-spirited youth, has been allowed to run at loose ends for his entire life, and has never experienced discipline of any kind. He now finds himself in a vastly different world. Bob immediately sets about bringing his kid brother into line, and giving him the “Biblical discipline” that he, and the other sect members, consider essential to proper child rearing. Billy strives to come to grips with the new reality.

While the characters are wholly imaginary, the issues they confront are real, and threaten to undermine the very foundations of our civilization. This work does not contain any erotic material, but is a sobering assessment of today's child rearing practices in the United States and Western Europe.

This is the twenty-second volume of a more extensive saga, which traces the course of Billy and his friends as they struggle through the years of adolescence, and should be required reading for every adolescent boy, his parents, and all those who seek to influence him.
