MEDIA A Bullet Was Used to Kill a US Citizen Without Trial On Thursday. Let That Sink In

[trumad]

By the way--- the U.S Citizen just killed 5 other U.S Citizens.

Oh wait...hold on...it wasnt a bullet.

1. Bullets were used to murder 5 US citizens the other night

Without a trial. Unfortunately it does happen daily.

2. Oddly we are on the same page here...

But let's not dig too deep.

3. And some at DU are in agreement that this was a good thing,

rather than an example of revenge by police.

4. Mindreading again? n/t

[guillaumeb]

7. No, simply responding to what some people are actually saying.

You understand, in that other thread, where many responses echo the idea that the police HAD TO DO IT because there was no other way.

Which was also your repeated response.

10. One cannot flee from justice, yet claim it at the same time. nt

[guillaumeb]

11. To paraphrase Pilate: "what is justice"?

Is justice the entire process, from enumerated rights through the judicial process, or is justice reduced to a bullet delivered via person or machine?

14. Dammit ......I can just hear him now.....

[guillaumeb]

15. A nice response.

Funny, if not exactly responsive.

5. But they were just cops

just in case it's needed

6. A gun is a machine, a drone is a machine. No difference at all.

8. Militarization of LEOs is a concern, but the style of killing still seems more important to some.

[randome]

17. Yeah, the militarization. Too much useless heavy weaponry sitting around just waiting to be misused.

Or stolen and then misused.

13. So you don't have a problem with them using robots to kill us?

Terrible precedent.

[randome]

16. It's a machine, not a robot. You've been watching too many sci-fi movies.

9. I saw what you did there.

[sakabatou]

12. Then what is the real difference to you?

I'm asking a genuine question.

[Ghost Dog]

18. Most Americans seem to make a distinction,

and to have little or no problem with their state claiming the right to murder, with zero due process, non-US citizens anywhere in the world. But would have a problem were any US official ever to be called, internationally, to account for such behavior.

Perhaps something similar is endemic domestically in USA, where US citizens are themselves divided and made subject to discriminatory behavior patterns according to so-called 'racial' characteristics and socio-economic 'class'.

Perhaps such rampant injustice is unsustsinable.
