I understand that, but if your child was run down on a bike path in NYC by a guy with links to terrorists would you be glad the government restrained itself and turned him loose? How about the Boston Marathon bombers, after the Russian government had warned us specifically about the older brother (who masterminded it)?
Leaving American citizens defenseless against these killers is ridiculous; your ideal work in a system where the government works in the interests of its citizens - and it is so obvious that our government doesn’t.
Please do not misunderstand, in no way am I trying to protect monsters. But should we all as innocent lawful individuals lose any constitutional rights “just in case”? Pre-punish everyone to prevent the “possible” actions of the one? Violate the rights of everyone because of the false narrative that there is a terrorist under every bed and in every closet?
Are you familiar with the Hegelian dialect concept? Once you understand how and who actually created these monsters you would understand where I am coming from.
“and it is so obvious that our government doesnt.”
Absolutely, and why I am against all “one size fits all” universal oppression from government over the people. We do not work for them, they work for us as individuals and they have forgotten this.
