“There are plenty of folks who do indeed hate the United States. Channel your angst against them…not each other.”
Well spoken, Colonel.
Why I there no reporting on the Seattle march? The left is out of control there with no violence from the right. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/washington/articles/2017-08-13/the-latest-arrests-in-seattle-amid-dueling-demonstrations
Boom!
Ib? Really?
Maybe related to Eb from Green Acres?
If you’re going to try to write a high-minded moral tome, then at least give some lip service to the foundational principle of law, innocent until proven guilty.
Nobody yet knows what the arrested suspect actually did, or why he did it. Maybe he was confused, maybe he had a medical issue, maybe he was insane. A trial will explore all of these possibilities as well as the prosecution’s theory of the case, and perhaps the guy will “never see the light of day” but until that trial finishes, nobody should pass judgement. The videos are incomplete and in any case prove nothing directly.
<< Ib? really? >>
Spelchek is for luzers.
Allen West lost me with the following comment....
“James Alex Fields will be punished to the full extent of the law, and I truly believe he should never see the light of day again.”
Can we at least wait until this investigation of what happened and why it happened is complete, and have a trial first?
” the foundational principle of law, innocent until proven guilty”
That principle only applies in court. Because the state has vast resources, the burden of proof is on the state. Our courts intentionally are biased toward letting the guilty go free since the alternative would be to have more innocent people go to jail.
I think OJ is a murderer. He was acquitted in criminal court (beyond a reasonable doubt) and convicted in civil court (preponderance of the evidence). But I was free to PERSONALLY decide he was guilty before the trial. After all, if I was wrong, he would suffer no loss.
Sorry Col West. Jesus is Lord. There is the only supremacy needed, but if you don’t think it is supreme, don’t call yourself one either.
Thank you for bringing this up. I have heard more than a few people today who have decided this guy needs the death sentence prior to a trial.
Trump should have picked Allen West as VP
Excellent piece.
One thing that I think it’s worth pointing out about Lee, just in passing, is that he was a great general, fair and honorable to those he defeated - and when his cause itself was defeated, he settled down as a good citizen of the United States and did his duty. Not like the Dems and the left, who are so enraged that they lost that they won’t accept it and are out fomenting violence like this.
Amen!
Make THAT man the Press Secretary.
Would love to see him run again, this time against Bill Nelson for US Senate. ........................... Many would agree*, but West moved to Texas.
* Don’t count on the S/E coast and I 44.
This and similar columns will never see the pages of the WP or the NYT. The mass leftist media has already set the message and are pounding it into all readers. The same can be said for most of the broadcast and cable media.
Wouldn't mind seeing this man as America's first, legitimate black president.
