Wasn't there a video of Al Qaeda testing poison gas on dogs?

LOL!

You're behind the power curve Mene...

So-called 'Officer' Hale doesn't have to be falsely labeled a TERRORIST.

He IS a TERRORIST.

By definition.

I think a good test of whether this cop is any good is if the townpeople turn out to support him. Not just his relatives and the other cop's families, but the whole town with their dogs. If that happens then I would be inclined to believe he's a decent cop who made a mistake.

Good point. By the way...many, many "Halls" live in Putnam County. Some of them are VERY LARGE landowners and probably VERY wealthy. I'm sure officer Hall is related to some of them and will have their support. All of this ranting and raving against him is pointless with local support. Perhaps we could see about solving some OTHER problems?

Oops. Made a mistake...this should have been posted to "palmer" not to myself. Okay, ready, shoot me.

I must disagree with you. You've missed the key point along the way that the traffic stop was initiated by hearsay. This quickly moved to "cause" where a family was threatened with firearms and, in fact, firearms were discharged in this bogus criminal apprehension.

After Waco, I'd ask those that thought the government justified in that infanticide the following:

Clinton and Gore both have children the same ages as many inside that home. Would the FBI have moved and used the same tactics if Chelsea was inside?

And so I ask you, would you want the same treatment for you and yours?

Yes, we could also make doctored videos of:

1. Ted Kennedy driving a car into a lake and failing to swim back and get a dog out of the car.

2. Bill Clinton refusing to pay alimony to a female dog impregnated by his dog.

3. Fastow of Enron saying "Even a dog could make money this way."

4. Osama Bin Laden and friends laughing and having a party watching video of the WTC collapse while they cook a dog over the barbecue pit.

5. A public school principal whose school has incompetent teachers and failing grades running out and kicking a dog that appears on campus because it might be a danger to the children.

6. O.J. Simpson beating a dog to death on the golf course.

7. And finally, Satan saying he's glad that "All dogs come to hell."

I just watched the video for the first time. Unbelievable, the poor little dog was running around wagging his tail and then boom.

Mene, it occurs to me
You're barking up
The wrong dang tree !

Korean folk may munch on dawgs,
In place of chickens, cows ' hawgs
But long as they stay way from cats
'N make main courses outa rats

The only folks that will go bats
Are the morons wearing P.E.T.A. hats !!

"..."Orwell was an optimist"..."

(In the voice of Floyd the Barber, from 'The Andy Griffith Show'...)

"Oooooh.... 'Orwell was an optimist' I LIKE that!"

We could start by addressing the underlying problems. Hall is not a real problem as I now argue, he made a mistake and it should be noted and dealt with locally. I'll have to stop posting on that thread since it's going nowhere anyway.

But the issue of police militarization triggered by the WoD and soon by the WoT is serious and only going to get worse. How long until we have road blocks in the name of the War on Terror?

Legalization won't solve the drug problem but neither will the War on Drugs. In fact the only way government seems to tackle problems is either throwing money at it or by shooting at it. Sometimes both as in Afghanistan. But those tactics don't work in the long run.

The underlying problems are obvious (immorality, nonaccountable government, etc) but the solutions are very difficult and controversial, and we should aim these discussions at moving towards solutions.

You don't have to look far or falsify charges that Muslim culture and dogs don't get along. I remember reading an article that the decency police in Iran are busy dealing with a dog-keeping fad. It's against the law there to keep dogs as pets. I remember in Turkey, the polizei would shoot any stray dog as a matter of course. I don't think that the Muslim faith is particularly friendly to canines.

How does boot leather taste? Does the foot smell come through? Or is it mostly the natural leather?
