So? Friends of Bundy ALSO claimed that they were going to kill any government employee who tried to oust them from the illegal occupation of the federal building they took over in an armed assault.

They weren’t bombed by a remote guided warhead.

Was it because they were white?

Because they were right wing?

Or because they were both right wing AND white?

Or espousing christianity?

All three?

Or was it just “Not black”?

MC, my understanfing, which to my knowledge has not been contradicted, is that he was contained. Therefore, by the constitutional guarantee of fir process, the police are not go kill him.

I presume “fir” was supposed to be “due,” but the words make no more sense with that correction. What does the 14th Amendment have to do with being “contained”? Some case law would help here.

Also, what you’ve written is ridiculous on its face. I characterized your expressed opinion as “absurd”and “silly”. I didn’t call you a name.

Also,dont be an asshole about it.

I think that your position is utterly absurd. This individual had already killed several human beings and was shooting at more human beings from his strategically covered position. ( He also stated verbally that his intent was to kill as many more human beings as he could.

Is it ok with you that the police returned fire at all? Had they hit him with a bullet, would that be disturbing to you?

Nevermind. I’m sure it would be.

The fact that they used a different technique to achieve the same result that would have been perfectly reasonable to any reasonable person is your excuse of the day to malign police officers. Silly.

Wow asks: “And there’s only black and white?”

It is for you whatever you wish it to be because no one can impose any other thing on you.

Wow says “you can convince yourself you won.”

Winning is irrelevant. Learning from others and offering my own understanding is my purpose. There is neither prize nor penalty here; only sharing of knowledge and ideas.
