[Non-Sequitur]

once more, would you give a pistol to a condemned man so he wouldn't be UNarmed on the way to his execution???

So if in your eyes it's OK to kill innocent, unarmed men and boys on the assumption that they would shoot if given a chance then it must have been OK in your eyes for the Unionists to do the same, right?

the difference is that the men on the "kill lists" at Lawrence were anything BUT innocent.

EACH of them had committed robbery,arson,kidnapping, rape,theft of livestock and/or murder of UNarmed civilians in IT, KS & MO.(the KS "volunteer cavalry",redlegs & jayhawkers were really good at attacking the defenseless on BOTH sides!)

ALL of the men on the "kill lists" had their crimes listed thereon.

otoh, Fremont's victims were generally gulity of NO crime at all, except having been armed at the time of their MURDER.
