What Janet Waco did to Elian is unforgivable. End of story...
"Not really. This family didn't follow the law, the rest of us have to follow. And were asked nicely numerous times."
If the Gonzales family broke any laws, why were they not arrested?
The short answer is they never violated one US law.
The fact that Reno kept asking them shows that the law was not being broken. Law-enforcement need not ask to do what the law requires. No lawful warrant was ever presented to the Gonzales. No US Official ever knocked on the door of the Gonzales home and asked to speak peacably to anyone. The Gonzales family were stand-up people, the kind America needs more of, guarding their little nephew from totalitarianism.
What they refused to do was deliver up their beloved little Elian, like an innocent sacrificial lamb, to Janet Reno to be a political pawn of Castro. I don't blame them.
Their statement is on the record. "We will not give our nephew to Castro," who actually did get Elian, not the father, when the Clintonistas kidnapped him.
No one ever served any papers to the Gonzales home. No due process in Reno's hand-picked courtroom, recognized the child's rights in contravention of US and International law and, for all you lefties in Massachusetts, in violation of repeated UN resolutions on Childrens' Rights.
