In reply to the discussion: Complain to the families of the Pulse and Sandy Hook victims about your right to due process [View all]jmg257
(11,996 posts)22. Due Process is very over-rated, especially for suspicios people. CHicago PD has a great list,
with 1400 people that are responsible for 80% of the gun violence in the city.
Time we skip the due process bullshit and just lock 'em up. (likely already illegal for many of them to get guns, so we need further action).

Proof? FBI doesn't need any proof, or even evidence. Reasonable suspicion is plenty.

Neither of those murders were on the no fly list, were they? I don't understand the point here.
