Personally, I'm not a weak-kneed bogus politician. I don't accept leaving guys on the battlefield. The interferring problem is the same one I have every time I hear about a particular case. I don't know these particular guys. I don't know the circumstances. I can't make judgments in individual cases just from hearing a little about them. I've always refused opportunities to argue about individual cases. But the article is saying that the ultimate cause of this whole thing was that a guy was behind in child support payments. I don't have to reach a conclusion just from this case. I know what's going on generally, and it's wrong. The government is culpable because of their overall behavior toward fathers who owe child support. I'm not extracting that conclusion from the article alone. I already knew that the government's behavior was wrong before I read about this particular incident. My position is that the government is no less culpable when shots are fired. I think at least we can apply the logical fact that two wrongs do not make a right. The government's bad behavior generally is not in any case cancelled by this guy's response.

In any sufficiently large population, there will be some who can withstand any amount of pressure and come out the other side intact, and there will be some who crack under the pressure. Some will crack under a moderate amount of pressure, and some will crack under a lot of pressure.
If you continue applying the pressure in greater and greater amounts, eventually everyone who will crack... will crack.
We're seeing that happen now, and it's sad to watch "conservatives" attack those who crack under the obscene pressure, rather than address the hard core socialist class warfare tactics used as a tool to create the pressure.
