Fugitive LAPD-killer is first drone target on U.S. soil

[Southpaw]

Never knew it was OK to murder non US citizens.

Yes it's perfectly fine, just as it was for Bin Laden to finance, conspire and thereby "murder" everyone who died as a result of the events on September 11th. They too were never afforded due process for what he charged them with either.

I see no problem using an unarmed UAV to look for him. Cheaper than a manned aircraft. Personally, I've got nothing to hide. If some d-bag gets his jollies off taking pictures of me in my tighty-whities, that their problem.

So you don't mind them invading your privacy becase you have nothing to hide.

You realize that you would basically be handing over one of your rights, do you feel you no longer ned it?

Why couldn't they have just waited the Wacko in Waco out?

Because they were trying to avoid a humiliating show trial revealing their incompetence and corruption. Just like now.

There are already plenty of SAT images of my back-yard. Saw them on google earth. Matter of fact, I wish knew when the next shot was going to be. I would love to see if anybody notices me chucking a moon skyward.

Nothing like an Obama Fan to start the ball rolling on how it is "acceptable" to use a military drone on US soil against US Citizens.....

Is it just me, or all the whackos liberal????

No, all of the Liberals are whackos.

 

[TXARGUY]

No, all of the Liberals are whackos.

Liberalism is a disease of the mind. It can be cured in some circumstances but for most there is no hope.

Exactly. The Constitution only applies to non-Citizens when they're on our own soil, embassies, etc.

It's perfectly fine so long as they aren't on our soil. As it relates to non citizens, the constitution only applies in this country.

Wrong on all accounts.


In 1976 President Ford signed, and every president since then has upheld Executive Order 11905 reaffirming the U.S. prohibition on assassination.

Now bho wants to change it to better serve himself? Do we know for a fact that the raid was an assassination, or was it to capture a fugitive that decided to fight and was killed in the process.

Would you be okay with the Feds doing a search of your house to make sure all of your firearms were legally obtained? You have nothing to hide right?

Apples and oranges. We weren't speaking of political assassination. We were speaking to the rights of due process, afforded by the constitution, and where they apply. OBL was a casualty of war.

It's principal. Nobody cares if you're hiding something.

If they want to search for Dorner using Thermal Imaging from drones, I don't have any problem with it. If they find him as a US Citizen and attack him with a rocket on US soil.......that is absolutely wrong. Locate him, surround him and if he resists, ice him. Otherwise he gets his 10-12 months in court (said sarcastically) like any other wacko.

My prediction? Realistically, if he surrenders, he'll never make it in alive.

Hey .....here's an idea! Send Quanell X out there to sniff him out. Quanell loves to stir up racial tension and he'd have a ball with this case!

I'd bet money he offed himself days ago.

If that's the case, hopefully they don't keep shooting innocent people until they find the body.

 

[Younggun]

I just hope that drone their using isn't armed, their track record for target identification is a little shaky.

This is some pretty serious crap, them shooting random people. If nobody is held accountable, I won't be surprised, but furious. Someone needs to be charged or at least fired for this.

Hopefully. I know I wouldn't want to be driving a pickup in krapifornia.

Or be a big black fellow. Shit, As stupid as this is getting, I'd be afraid to simply match the description in that I am also a male.

I personally think firing is not nearly enough. These are not mistakes I see a reasonable person making. They shot up one truck without even trying to identify who was inside(I'm guessing since the passengers bare absolutely no resemblance to the fugitive) hitting one twice. Then rammed and shot another vehicle.


What they did was far beyond a case of mistaken identity.

I agree but sadly all we can expect is termination, based on how wrongful killing of an innocent person usually amounts to that. We'd be lucky to see any action taken. If I had my way they'd be charged as a criminal. This is all just police vengeance. Something tells me they are eager to silence him as well. Just another symptom of the breakdown of our country and the rise of a police state. Shame shame shame.
