Murder per se is not a federal crime.

[Jim W N]

How were Portland rioters in Federal jurisdiction?

[Dagnabitt]

Good news. The events of September 22 and 24 will make the world a slightly better place.

These are the sort of heinous crimes that don’t leave the pro-criminal organizations much to work with. They’re pretty much down to just “The Death Penalty is bad and inequitably imposed” or some such.

You need a life...........

[Fungi]

Beyond semantics...........

[Jim W N]

OK, well, as long it’s valid I have no problem.

I tend to question just about everything the feds do..

[deport]

Why the hell are the feds involved?

*************

I think that the states rely on the Feds for Execution
of the prisoners when required.

[Jim W N]

,,,and you need a brain,,,

[Carriage Hill]

SPJNK & Rot In Hell, both!

[Jim W N]

No good. Must be constitutional reason for the feds to act instead of the states.

[Fungi]

Which you are lacking............

[deport]

I think the process goes thru the state appeals first. Then it goes
to the Feds if the accused looses at the state level.

[Jim W N]

This is a debate forum dork, not your elementary-school playground.

[gogeo]

Some people just need killin’.

[Jim W N]

Gotta show a constitutional basis for ANY federal act or involvement.

[kiryandil]

Are you being serious?   

[deport]

There are appeal processes. Follow the trail. I’m not going
to look up the details.

[Fungi]

Dork is your playground....

[hanamizu]

Why the hell are the feds involved?

You kill someone at a post office in MN (no death penalty) you are subject to Federal prosecution and the needle.

I know of a case in Southern MO many years ago where the guy made a point of killing his wife in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, thus avoiding the chance of getting the death penalty in MO. At the time, the Feds weren’t doing executions.

Entirely understandable. Considering that the idea of interstate transport of a stolen car as a federal felony was the thin thread that Fairy Hoover slipped thru Congress to justify his fictional "war on crime" and his wildly unconstitutional FBI, your suspicions are valid.

The FBI SHOULD only be a clearing house for information on interstate crimes. No enforcement arm, no guns, no arrest powers. They want to put someone in jail, they USED to have to call the local PD.

Perhaps the FISA scandal will convince Congress that there is no such thing as a federal agency who is independent of political influence.
