"So, basically, if you support the constitution, you have to support the rights of drug-dealing criminal gangs to receive due process of law.. And if you don't support the rights of drug-dealing criminal gangs to receive due process of law., then you don't support the constitution."There, Ethan. I helpfully corrected your sentences for you! Hope that helps heaps!
“So, basically, if you support the constitution, you have to support the rights of drug-dealing criminal gangs to receive due process of law.. And if you don’t support the rights of drug-dealing criminal gangs to receive due process of law., then you don’t support the constitution.”
Well, I don’t know about your other recipients Laz, but that’s how I see it. Do you have some sort of a problem with that approach? As bad as some of the folks who were killed and wounded may be (or have been), they weren’t committing drug crimes at Twin Peaks ( at least their being there wasn’t to do drug deals, but rather try to come to “terms” with “turf issues,” which so far as I know aren’t crimes, as detestable as they may be to the rest of us). So turning a public place into a shooting gallery somehow doesn’t pass my smell test for “protecting the public.”
A lot of people have been taken back by the cop in McKinney merely waving a handgun around a bunch of relatively innocent kids, but take a completely different stance on a bunch of out of control cops and Feds FIRING AR-15’s into a crowd which also likely included innocent bystanders.
These incidents do not bode will for our country going forward, because if the LEO’s get away with what is quite likely government-sacnctioned murder in Whacko, it will encourage others to use the same “methodology” to deal with “undesirable elements” as they see them.
Under this particular situation, they were receiving Due Process.
Considering the situation was 9 killed and 18 wounded AND these same gangs having made previous threats to the Waco police, $1 million Bond was not unreasonable to keep them off the streets. Same as would be for any other TERRORIST.
Sadly, too many here don’t have the capacity to understand what you have written.
