Widow's children help her cope

Could the Revolutionaries organize politically and vote for whomever they wanted in fair and free elections to be their leaders to write their own laws and collect their own taxes and spend them as they see fit and make their own policies and treaties?

Yes or no?

Anyone who ascribes to Claire Wolfe's neo-Leninist dictum has no good business being on FR.

Of course he was a coward. This wasn't a brave man facing a duel on equal terms with his opponent. This wasn't a man interested in a fair fight. This was a cruel ambush. And for your calling Mr. Matthews a 'brave man' you have earned your place on the Nut List.

There were more than one armed policeman there, right? The cop he shot was armed right? A coward would never have tried anything. I didn't say Mattews was "brave"; I said you couldn't call him a coward. He may have been angry, but a coward would just been angry and taken it out on his wife or some other less threatening innocent.

The action Matthews tried was bad enought, at this point in our "evolving" relationship with our own executives. Trying to demonize him with an inaccruacy is counter productive to the message you're trying to put out. This is the very tactic the liberals use, Ann wrote her book about, and what's being recognized as a ploy by more and more people.

It would be wise to stick to facts and leave the mindless emotional amplification, notions absurd on the very surface, out.

You are calling all kinds of people nuts here when the net effect of reforming traffic enforcement will be fewer dead cops and fewer dead people on the roads in general. Most cops don't die in traffic stops because of a nut case or a desperate drug smuggler. They die in traffic accidents.

By taking away incentives to do traffic stops for revenue and for the War on Drugs, police will have to apply resources to actual dangerous drivers, and fewer will needlessly and senslessly die in situations like this one.

The jackboot wearing no necks advocating for the status quo are the ones who bear the responsibility for continuing a situation where cops are pimped out by their PDs to profit-sharing contracts with LIDAR makers, putting their lives at risk so the PD's management has a bigger budget to play with. They baselessly accuse people of justifying nuts jobs like the guy who shot the cop in this case, without examining what can be done to reduce these cases.

Yes or no?

No and neither can we.

And if Democracy is to be the judge of morality, perhaps we should vote on whether to kill anyone with a screen name that has 'Jihad' in it.

In the current climate, I could sell the rope to hang you.
And you can be assured, I'd do so... and at a profit.
