Only a person with zero moral fiber (perhaps an atheist) would ignore a pending crime that was about to do harm to another human being. Normal people, and the police, act first and take the consequences if they are mistaken. I have yet to see a policeman sued for stopping and cuffing an angry male walking down the street with a baseball bat.

Are you really claiming that police have the right to assault and batter someone simply because they see an angry male walking down the street with at bat? Or that people should take the law into their own hands? Do you know what they call that, they call it a Lynch Mob. That is what you and your cabal are. But you are even worse than a typical Lynch Mob because you want to punish the criminal before the crime has been committed.

Hey “The Big” - bozo-—you are too weird for me.

Go do the dishes or something.

Lynch mobs are against the law, but most of these folks on these threads are too meek to get away from pixels and actually buy a rope or match. They could get in trouble by inciting a lynch mob perhaps. Our very own FR thought police on parade.

What did Dylan sing about?

I think you read every fifth word and then throw it into that cuisinart you have for a brain and spit out what’s left. “Assault and Batter”, where the hell did that come from, I never advocated the police have that right. But certainly, if some guy looks like he has an intent to kill he can be questioned, followed, etc. It isn’t like you have time for a supoena if someone is about to axe handle their girlfriend. So if the police use their better judgement to stop that, all power to them.

“Or that people should take the law into their own hands? “

It happens all the time, it’s something I like to call “self defense”. Perhaps you are unaware of that concept?

“Do you know what they call that, they call it a Lynch Mob. “

No “they” don’t. But some people would call you a bloviating storeyteller.

“That is what you and your cabal are.”

A Lynch Mob???? Musta left my rope somewhere, all they gave me was a stinking keboard at the lynch mob headquarters.

“But you are even worse than a typical Lynch Mob because you want to punish the criminal before the crime has been committed. “

Make it up, spin it, anything to vent your emotions. I don’t even know what would be worse than a Lynch Mob, perhaps a bunch of people at their keyboards? Oooooh, scary, her comes the boogeyman.

But to state it more clearly, I’m certainly for stopping crimes before they are committed. For example, that’s why there is a yellow light, to prevent people from running red lights.
