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 doesn’t.”
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.
I know you’re not protecting monsters - but that is exactly who is protected under our “rights” (and they often aren’t even American citizens).
