Are Americans Safe from ‘the Law’?

Opinion: The triumphant anti-Trump crowd loves to say, “No one is above the law.”

Most Americans have, however, felt safe from the dreaded knock on the door from the Gestapo or the KGB, from the “show me the man, and I’ll find you the crime” principle of Lavrentiy Beria, Stalin’s secret police chief.

The City of Oklahoma City’s Final Report estimated property damage to more than 300 buildings in a 48-square-block area.
