I agree with you. And I'm going to try to be careful with what I say.

Police raid a house, and shoot the first guy they see, with no justification at all. If a second (well-armed) guy had been around the corner and had managed to blow away three cops, maybe a bunch of people would say "right on! turn the tables on 'em! Our government is attacking us! We need to fight back!"

You know what I thought when I heard that Giffords had been shot in AZ? I thought "Our government has been attacking us, and I guess someone decided to turn the tables on 'em. I guess someone decided to fight back."

Then I found out that a 9-year-old girl had been killed, and the shooter was a nutcase. So, I had no sympathy for his actions at that point.

But still, when I hear unhappy stories involving government workers ... I don't think about it quite the same way I used to.

Is the death penalty a possible sentence for drug possession?

The point being, it appears so ridiculous when a serial rapist murderer has the State pour millions into trying him multiple times before multiple juries and then having the bum sit on Death Row for a score of years just so on his execution date dozens of candle bearing liberals can protest his execution while the State chemically induces death so painlessly that the Supreme Court can sleep at night.

In contrast, we have thugs smash apart private property and gun someone down in the middle of the night on a petty offense.

We are one messed up nation.
