--(in old soviet union the authorities were always right, the enemy of the revolution always wrong.)--
In another post, someone referred to Hitler, now you are referring to the soviet union. Be real. This is NOT nazi germany and Bush is not Lenin.
"and bush is not lenin..."
we're talking about a local authority here. i'm sure the federal government wasn't poised to send in the national guard.
"be real." the local authorities cannot always be right in what they do. all the circumstances are not known. you do not know what that man was subjected to by what very well might have been abusive local authorities.
(in old soviet union, mental capacity and competence was always questioned. as always, authorities won.)
