"We are in power. Nobody will deny it. By virtue of that power we shall remain in power."

Jack London in The Iron Heel.

So one of our guys, a Kenyan named Oliver, rolled a land cruiser yesterday. He was giving a lady and her baby a ride and the lady smacked her head real bad. She went to the hospital and he went to jail. She'll be fine, we'll just have to pay her some money and probably pay the courts.

Ridiculous things relating to this situation.
1) Jeff Mills came upon the accident in a different Samaritan's Purse truck right away. Some military guys were there. They had loaded up their own truck to take the lady to the hospital, but when they saw the SP truck they basically threatened Mills with their guns and made him get out of the truck so they could drive our truck to the hospital instead of theirs. When they brought the truck back later that day, they made Mills pay them money or else they were going to arrest him.
2) The guy in charge of the jail said we could get Oliver out at 9pm last night... so long as we brought him back by 5:30 in the morning.
3) The traffic police said we could get Oliver out at 8am this morning. Of course they hadn't slept off the alcohol by that time, and when they did show up some time later, they said they didn't want to work on Sundays. By work they meant sign the two papers neccesary to have him released. So he spends another night in jail.
4) They don't feed people in jail. Friends and family have to take food every day.
