Speachless ! PRICELESS !!!Ladyhawke1 said:Well BOB.....bobm said:Well hawke ... I am well aware of what is happening in our Great Country.Yes, I do know how to march in the streets. Been there done that. I do know what is happening in the communist countries first hand as I and my family have escaped and have relatives living in them and can only communicate very rarely in secret. Doing otherwise will result in their imprisonment, torture and yes even death. I know many people who have escaped from our country as well as other ones too. So, I can judge our GREAT COUNTRY verses the overlords of the populous slave labor of the comunist / democratic peoples republic countries. Why are you not out in the streets PROTESTING THAT ? What you describe as slave labor here, is usually perpetated by their own countrymen. What you describe as use of force by our peace officers are usually instigated by violent behavior of some individuals in the protesting group with the motive for extensive media coverage that will portray them with a spin of them in a favorable light. Why are you NOT broadening your horizons ?
From the book: Thurgood Marshall Justice For ALL
Page 226. FAIR PROCESS FOR PERSONS ACCUSED OF CRIME
Our Government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the Government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means -- to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal -- would bring terrible retribution. Against that pernicious doctrine this Court should resolutely set its face.
Brandeis, J. dissenting in Olmstead v. United States (1928)
