Jeff Sessions (Alabama) says Prez can kill a "suspected" terrorist

[shance]

without Miranda or any warrants.

Is this similar to how they assasinated John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy?

Oh, forgive me, and Malcolm X?

Does this mean open season for assasination on anyone the Administrations "suspects" as a terrorist?

Is this open season on any and all of our leaders whom they "suspect", or whom they don't like for speaking out against the Administration and their latest war?

Does this mean open season for any of us they "suspect" as a terrorist or whom they would like to be rid of?

Wake up now, America.

1. don't blame me... I voted for Susan Parker :)

6. Me too! She would have been so good!

Now we're left with the daily televised humiliation that is Sessions. :(

12. I know

Whenever I log on to DU and see a message like "Who is that goober on C-SPAN?," I have a pretty good idea who they're talking about. We couldn't have elected a bigger goober if we tried. Yes, it is pretty darn humiliating.

2. same philosophy that moved jebbie to create a law in florida whereby

you can shoot to kill if you are afraid someone is gonna hurt you. in addition to the paranoid world thesed bushes live in, they live in the fantasy world of the wild frontier.

3. They think they're living in an episode of "24".

4. it was done on an airplane not long ago. many on this board

applaud the marshals that shot a man because he wanted off the plane. nOT because he said bomb. shoot first and shoot to kill.... ask questions later

it seems bush has the support of the people

as long as they yell loud enough what this man MIGHT have done even with no basis to the MIGHT

[LincolnMcGrath]

5. You are correct.

7. i think this event was the loudest and clearest message

where we are as a society. we have seen things since, another man shot dead, protesters in ohio beat up for putting out signs. but this event with the airplane was so clear to me the abuses allowed and so many people fearful themselves validated the shoot. it is scary to me. each one of us now, when we walk in an airport know, KNOW they can shoot us,...... really, truly, for no reason, and the american people will back them. so many smart people on this board is ok with this, because of their own fears. wait until the gun is pointed at you, and know reason will not get you out of the tight spot, nor will innocence. i dont understand why people are outraged, and fearful of this.

[LincolnMcGrath]

8. I knew the shooting was unjustified as soon as I heard about

a 'bomb threat'. Why, because I just knew they were lying, I knew it.

10. we are given the answers, it is if we chose to see. just stand up

against is all it takes. i saw it in spring of 92 just after 9/11. i was 42, two kids 5 and 8, and husband, on the way to florida for a week. a town of about 200k. and airport that is small, local employees. going thru sec i was pulled and set to the side. i was asked how i was this morning and i said, this is a bunch of crap. i know many dont mind holding arms out and being swept. i do. the very core of who i am says, i am not criminal, i should not be standing there with my arms out. this is wrong. i am offended. (a lot of people embrace, i am just not a lot of people. i am allowed to not be the other. not punishment by death)


the woman told me to wait there and goes to the head dude. a cop comes over and stands a foot from me. the top sec male gets two inches from my face. i am an aggressive kinda gal, i know what it is for a person to walk in my space. am i going to pretend otherwise. do i lower my eyes, pee my pants????

and we stand there

a little more

finally i say, am i done???

the man says i understand you have a problem. now really the "this is a bunch of crap" didnt really reg. i wasnt angry, didnt have enough coffee yet, and just taking care of the kids,.....all their excitement and getting them thru.

i say, ya... this is a bunch of crap. am i done

and he moves aside.

i see kids behind the table afraid.

sec is going thru their back packs. so i slide onto bench and the cop follows. asking whats up. kids eyes huge. these little ones got to experience death, 9/11 and war.....

going onto a fuckin airplane

(as a mama this is all huge ass bullshit. not what you do with little ones)

i asked why the cop was standing there.

the woman said right in front of my kids,...... i am protecting this woman from you.....

people think, this is in front of kids. that i am teaching.... life and how we interact ... yada yada

i bust up laughing, next to little one, letting him burrow into me and say, oh jonas, this woman is afraid of me..... can you beleive. in such amazement and smile and love

bullshit. that is bullshit.

i told the woman, treat us all like animals and we just might become.

this is important. this is the sign that tells us where we are, where we are going and what we create. may not seem like big deals, but all of these are big deals. they knew i was not a terrorist. it is as simple as that. never in history has a mother going to florida for a week, with whole family, taken down a plane. i dont care what MIGHT happen at this point. i think i have odds on my side i was not going to take down a plane and it is reasonable for me to expect these people to trust in that

they failed.

they abused

they intimidated, but geez,.... i just cannot be intimidated. i have to allow??? and i dont. so..... since i dont lower my eyes, are they allowed to take me out

today, yes.... they are allowed to take me out. and the people will support it. and at this point is when i say,...... when the gun is pointed at you, know.... your life can be taken, and people will not stand up for you

that is what we gave up
