[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [qb] And the concept of Compassion, while recognised in the Scottish legal system, is alien to your legal system, formed as it appears to have been from the belief that it is better a thousand innocent people be punished wrongly than see a single guilty person go unpunished. [/qb][/QUOTE]So you're saying that it's common that scottish prisoners- found guilty of multiple homicides- be allowed t go free if diagnosed with a terminal condition? I dont think you could show me a single instance where that's happened before. If anything is "manufactured" it's that "Scottish Compassion" angle. More and more this stinks of money-politics and nothing else. And if the Lybians did not bomb that plane they sure as fuck would NEVER have copped to doing it, much less paid out over a billion in restitution. [QUOTE] You know I've been meaning to say something about that. I mean these people are overtly suggesting the President be killed. I seem to recall that being a crime. So let my overtly wonder why the Secret Service isn't picking these assholes off? I mean I don't care who you are or who the President is, you don't bring a gun to where he or she is going to be. I'm not one to wish death on anyone, but fuck sakes, I wouldn't shed a tear if these fucktards got more holes in them than cheese. [/QUOTE]well, there's the thing, these asshats are [i]outside[/i] where the President is giving his townhall or speach so they are never )so far) within line-of-sight and yes, the Secret Service is on them like white on rice, but it's an attempt at intimidation if nothing else: Would you be at a rally if the police were letting heavily-armed nuts roam around? The reason this is being allowed is that there are no specific laws saying that a legal-to-own firearm cant be publicly carried in a public space- only that they can not be [i]concealed.[/i] It's splitting hairs and someone's going to get killed over it- some nut will get into a screaming match with some Obama supporter and it'll escalate- hell, even a car backfiring might be mistaken for gunfire and start a stampede. The first guy to show up at several rallies with a gun strapped to his leg (like he's some cowboy) was interviewed by the cable networks and played all politically nieve while lamenting how "all out freedoms are being stolen by the Obama administration" (where was this guy's anger the past eight years?). Turns out he's on a bunch of extremist and "birther" online forums- under his real name no less- and had been trolling the rallis looking for media attention, which he got beacuse no one was smart enough to run a Google search on his name before interviewing him. :rolleyes: Score another one for the extremist Right.
