These arrests had nothing at all to do with DUI.

Some of those arrested were at the hotel bar where they were guests of the hotel. They weren't driving anywhere.

You advocate pre-crime, possibility of crime, and accusation of crime without basis, just so you can feel a wee bit safer in your person from the possibility of drunk drivers.

You deserve not freedom nor security. Thinking with your head indeed. Wait until they come for the christians who may commit the "hate crime" of hurting homosexuals feelings. Go ahead, and see if you can rationalize heart-led, emotionally based facism then.

I had to laugh about your comment about them coming for the Christians. I laughed not because it is not inconceivable but I suddenly imagined a bunch of those same drunks carrying flaming torches and driving up to my front door in a beatup F-100 Ford some evening. At least one can imagine that drunks would have as good a motive as any American for going after Christians. However, I digress here.

Regarding my pre-crime accusations, if there are no laws against public intoxification where these events occurred, and no other laws were broken, I will admit that you are right and I am wrong. If, however, these people were in violation of laws, then the police were solidly within their right to do what they did. If you believe that I too lightly dismiss possible crimes by Texas law enforcement officials ask me sometime to tell you the story of my great great grandfather who shot and killed a Texas Ranger (and several other law officers) in Sabine County when they sought to arrest him on purely circumstantial evidence.
