Im not a supporter of killing, as a rule, but things are just out of hand.I think I would term it, "Taking Out The Trash".

I think I would term it, "Taking Out The Trash." Concise and eloquent.

They call them intruders and not home invaders. Actually they were "visitors." Intruders is too harsh. Or in Rodney King-speak, they were just "pedestrians" who were lost.

If someone breaks into your home at 4:30 AM you are not going to shoot to kill?

Sutton will say the 4 poor unarmed men were only here to get money for their sick mothers to have surgery when a rouge BP Agent, who bragged about killing a Mexican, used his gun during the commission of a crime.
If the guy wasn’t dead, Sutton would give him a free pass across the border to earn even more money for dear old mom.
:rolleyes:

"Surely you jest?" I was hoping it was obvious.

Yes, I would, other things being equal.
However, I still don't like killing, as a rule. Rules have exceptions.

when a rouge BP Agent, who bragged about killing Er, ordinarily, I wouldn't interpose a spelling correction at this point. However, the substitution of "rouge" for "rogue" is so French that I feel I must mention it.

The story goes on to say the agent was a dog handler. IIRC Trafficers have been known to sanction killings of sniffer dogs. Just a thought.

Sure hope the guy isn’t an illegal. The border agent will end up in jail.

There was a hit on a drug dog a few years ago when I was visiting my father out in NE Missouri. Someone set up a supposed meeting with the officer, and a sniper shot the dog when they arrived for the meeting.

I’m GLAD he was armed and ready. Thank God it wasn’t another Sean Taylor tragedy.
