I am sure that many activists in Nazi Germany did not want to get involved and be "radical". I am sure that many said that they could not help the Jews. I am sure they felt justified in their inaction.

When the Justice system does not provide justice, what are the options? Does not a father have a responsibility to protect his family? And what about us sitting on the side lines?

I am not advocating violence: please show me other options.

The Justice system OFTEN does not provide justice- in my mind this is one of those times. To commit further injustices sounds a lot like the argument our friends on the left are fond of making...ends justifying the means.

As to a father protecting his family- it wasn't Terri's father who tried to steal the gun.

What about us sitting on the sidelines? Many thousands of us have written letters and contacted our representatives expressing our demands/thoughts/questions/ideas. For those who feel so moved- they may demonstrate- get involved with drafting legislation to change laws.

Grow up.

A lot of people on this thread have commented on how the extremists are harming the conservative cause. You have made yourself one of those extremists, by comparing our justice system to Nazi Germany.

I'm not saying our judicial system is something to be admired. Some judges have made some horrible decisions that they should never have had the power to make. But there are also other judges who do the right thing, who make wise decisions, who punish criminals harshly and protect the innocent.

Do you realize the extent of what the Nazis did? Their regime systematically exterminated millions of innocent people. There were Nazi officials whose job it was to wake up in the morning and say, "How can I kill as many Jews as possible today?" I don't think that judges, even activist judges, obsess over exterminating people.

You and your Nazi comparisons, along with that other wackjob who compared Terri to Jesus, are part of the problem, not part of the solution.
