P.C. is destroying the USA. We need the Rule of Law, not rule by lawyers.
Every American citizen is entitled to a fair trial.
So give this savage POS one then stick the fatal needle in him. Case closed.
Why on earth does this man deserve or require yet another trial?
No doubt there was a better way to convey whatever the point.
Only idiots like Che and Mao dispense with trials.
Read a book years back on our jury system after my first time out as a juror. In it, one judge was quoted as saying that a jury was a group of people applying laws they don't understand to facts they can't get straight. That about summed up my experience.
I wonder when the ACLU is going to get around to defending this beast and claim that he can't get a fair trial in front of a judge because he killed a judge.
BTTT
Is there any chance at all, I mean any chance that he will not be found guilty?
Of course there is. Haven't you heard of the "insanity" plea?
Sanity Check. Ping.
The perp is just a poor misunderstood victim of society... Oh, and its Bush and the evil Republicans' fault!
Need I remind everyone of FR that the writer like the one who wrote this article would have gladly slammed all of Georgia, calling all us Georgians racist if said jury had found Nichols guilty of rape because Nichols is black.
I think you are missing the point. This is not a question about whether law abiding citizens deserve due process. This is a question as to whether we should give due process to terrorists, hardened criminals and liberals
Right on!
What passes as the "legal system" in this country is totally broken. Our Founders had a good system going, but it has become totally corrupted over the years.
The "system" is now geared to protecting violent predators and harassing decent Americans via millions of edicts.
Unfortunately, every time a violent predator commits an heinous crime, there are always those that will try to take away the few Rights decent citizens have left.
It's already happened in Britian.
Hate to admit it but we, along with most of the elements of Western Civilization, have reached a sort of 'Maturity' where process has overtaken rationality as the mode of operation. The author does make the point that the mere passage of time does not always assure 'Real' progress.
Unfortunately, he undermines an otherwise reasonable article by suggesting that we can dispense with a trial, presumably because this Perp is indisputably guilty on all counts. A slippery slope indeed.
This brutal savage was from Maryland, not Georgia...Nichols lived in Ga.
America, speaking collectively, has indeed 'lost it's mind'. Where we were once under a common moral code, outlined in the Old Testament, we have now 'progressed' to a nation of amorality. Whatever is deemed right and correct by the mass media, and those who blindly follow, is allowed to stand. Anyone who dares to stand up for what once guided America, and indeed all of civilized society, is deemed to be a 'religious fanatic' and a 'fundamentalist' who is not worth listening to. Our options are two: continue on the path to destruction, that is war and eventual take over by people who are more determined than us, or back toward civilization by re- adopting the moral code we once lived by. "Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are condemned to repeat them".
Please, please, PLEASE tell me the story about the State hiring a PI to assist Ferguson in finding the 'Real' shooter is NOT true - That you made it up. It's not true - is it?
