Dear Ones,

I never heard of ‘color of law’ before.

You’re pretending that this and such law applies – say protection of the elderly or of children? – say and you have in mind kidnapping someone, or trafficking them, or murdering them and absconding with their money or their house?!

Apparently the United States Department of Justice was onto this shtick as long ago as 1948!? Go figure!

This law is intriguingly apropos of the current times! Check it out!

TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242 (Department of Justice)

• “Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, … shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both;
• and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both;
• and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.” — https://www.justice.gov/crt/deprivation-rights-under-color-law

Huzzas to those ancient legal eagles!

Alice’s Perilous Tales: God Delivers a Coup de Grâce!

I remember with a shudder the year 2018 when my gut told me that a scurvy plan such as one of those alluded to above was about to hit me dead center.

You know how it is: Sometimes the small hairs rise up on the nape of your neck, and your gut does flip flops, but you just cannot pin a thing down neat enough for LAPD?

This happened at the end of a church service in the San Fernando Valley, California. I credit the grace of God with my hair’s-breadth escape.

What better place than a church to see God deliver a coup de grâce!

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!

NOTE: ‘Under color of’ is an American idiom. It means ‘under pretext of’ or ‘under guise of’. In other words, it means ‘pretending to be this and such’ when in fact the action has to do with something else.
