You're right! The Founding Fathers, who spent most of their lives running from the authorities, ABSOLUTELY didn't want their descendants to run from the police.
I'm sure they would have condoned these executions WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
I think one of them said: "We must all not run together, or assuredly we shall all be shot in the back separately."
Or something like that...
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I appreciate your accurate view and also your clever answers.
