Thomas Jefferson knew because he himself studied the previous failed attempts at government. He understood actual history, the nature of God, his laws and the nature of man. That happens to be way more than what most understand today. Jefferson really knew his stuff. A voice from the past to lead us in the future:
John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the White House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement: “This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.”
“When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.”
— Thomas Jefferson
“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”
— Thomas Jefferson
“It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.”
— Thomas Jefferson
“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”
— Thomas Jefferson
“My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.”
—
Thomas Jefferson
“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.”
— Thomas Jefferson
“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”
— Thomas Jefferson
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
— Thomas Jefferson
“To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”
— Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson said in 1802: “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property – until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
I wish we could get this out to every American! I’m doing my part. So Please do yours.
(John) Well, did you have to suppress the urge to lock, load and kiss your loved ones goodbye?
“America is at that awkward stage. It’s too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards. On the road to tyranny, we’ve gone so far that polite political action is about as useless as a miniskirt in a convent.”
Maybe it will soon be time to scratch the “too early” part of that. We have been hag-ridden by the parasites for so long that they take it as their right to live and grow fat off the toil and husbandry of the “Productive Class”. 
It seems that the facts as laid out should suggest she recuse herself; Husband is a politician in that district, Grey family attorney a substantial contributor and adviser. Why not do the professional thing and appoint a special prosecutor to bring this before a Grand Jury? If she did so then the indictments would match the actual level of wrongdoing and be much more likely to result in convictions that would not be (later) overturned by a higher court. As these charges undoubtedly will be.
But she would reap less of the credit for success then and maybe that’s the point.
The extraordinary speed in which she decided that grievous crimes had been committed, A “Heat of the Fire Decision” that (of course) every police officer in the immediate area was involved may play well with the mob (and the thugs). But I think she just walled herself inside the castle. After this I doubt that she will never move onto a national political stage, anymore than another opportunist, Al Sharpton, did.
It is the over-the-top charges she has decided to bring that will, I think, be her downfall. Short term political advantage for long term meager results, yes, she is a politician. I wonder what office she had her eye on?
I don’t want to see the police injuring or killing citizens that they snatch off the street anymore than Ms. Mosby does but since she sliced through the middle of the police investigation (after the determination of what happened but before the determination of criminal responsibility) and eschewed the sensible course of an Special Prosecutor and the Grand Jury, she has made it personal. Zeal or ambition? Time will tell.
Update: June 23d 2016; Time has passed and time has indeed told…
Two officers have been tried and two officers have been acquitted. Including today the officer facing the most serious charges and that case described as the most likely to result in an conviction.
Third Baltimore police officer tried in Freddie Gray case acquitted of all charges
Big sigh! Really big SIGH!
That sound she made is the sound of the air being let out of her career. Next stop, Federal service!
