Did you ever hear the story of Judge Roy Bean, at one time the only law west of the Pecos? He once sentenced a cowboy to death by hanging for stealing a horse, and asked if he had any last words. The horse thief said the he understood he did wrong, but thought that hanging was a pretty severe crime for stealing a horse. Supposedly the Judge replied that he was not being hanged for stealing a horse, he was being hanged so that other cowboys would not steal other horses.

I bring this up in rebuttal to your reasoned argument that we should not send guilty varmints to Guantanamo. For the greater good of society, and without malice, sometimes we must make an example of some unfortunate soul, or in this case about 300 of them. It sounds unfair, and sometimes it is, but the alternative of being fair is far worse for society. I ask you to reconsider your opinion in concern for the wider society and not just for personal belief.

In those days taking someone’s horse was the same as the death penalty especially in the deserts.

So true. There were posts about the military building more holding facilities at Guantanamo some time back. Why, pray tell, would they be doing that if they did not expect to use them? My hope is that they were planning for this, if not their own coup. The cancer in our country is too strongly entrenched for anything but a massive arrest of the conspirators, including the so-called “media” who have lost their press protections by colluding with the socialists. Pray that the USSC gets this and rules correctly (though with Roberts the idea of them accepting it is not sure). There was also a published story that the military was planning a coup before the 2016 election, but didn’t because Trump won.
