That sow just wanted more cops to be killed.

[samtheman]

I was born sick of them.

[Bratch]

Never bring a rifle to a robot-bomb fight.

[IamConservative]

They call him R2-C4. A little more grisly, but not different than a robot or drone with a remote control gun. The Obama Administration has blown up US Citizens with drones for years.

Cool.

[chris37]

Why do ugly chicks go out of their way to make themselves into even uglier chicks?

Okay, I am going out on a limb here in assuming that is even a chick.

[glennaro]

Sniper okay = robot okay

Works for me.

[Hoffer Rand]

This is a good example of the wizard's first rule. Wizard's First Rule: People are stupid. They will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. As if this guy is more dead because he died by C4 than if he had died by a sniper's bullet or by a SWAT police officer's bullet.

Claire Bernish is a punk... She implies unfairness with an argument for “due process”.

Five good men were dead and the killer was cornered but still wanted to fight. He got his fight. No, it wasn’t fair. So what? He wasn’t fair or brave when he ambushed the cops and deserved no more.

[Gamecock]

They had this contingency in place a long time ago.

[Raycpa]

The author uses a false choice fallacy himself. The issue is not whether there should be a trial before killing this person, the issue is what is the safest way to kill this person.

[Secret Agent Man]

They can say that about any criminal killed while attacking police.

[AmusedBystander]

Another job lost to automation.

[Enterprise]

Micah X = ‘splodey head poster child.

[Secret Agent Man]

I wonder if the muslims will carve off her tattoos and make “her” eat them before raping and murdering “her”.

[sockmonkey]

Does the heavily tattooed and pierced Claire editorialize much?

“Manufactured by the military-industrial complex’s darling, Northrop Grumman”

[ichabod1]

I only fault them for blowing up an expensive robot when an RPG would have worked so well.

[catnipman]

Apparently good ol’ American can-do ingenuity is still alive and well in some quarters. Probably save at least a couple of innocent lives in this case, too.

[bkopto]

Yowza! That’s a MAN!

[Marie]

That was exactly my point. Why is a sniper acceptable, but this is not?

Same result.
