Last Friday, Dennis Kucinich, a U.S. Congressman, introduced the HR 6357 bill, which aims to "prohibit the extrajudicial killing of United States citizens" by the Federal Gov.

Aw... I just got the warm-and-fuzzies... By gawd they DO care!!!

 

[TinmanIA]

When they need a law to not kill you thats a good time to throw out all of the laws ever made and in essence...do over.

 

[kevinlee]

:I like that law, a lot. I am a little unnerved by the thought that if someone has to propose this it must be currently ok for them to kill us.

 

[Prepping]

Well gee...this law is basically to hamper the military and CIA in killing American Al Qaeda turncoats.

I guess some of you either couldn't figure that out, or else like protecting them.

 

[Hardwarehank]

I'm pretty sure there's already a law regarding this. I'd have to recheck our founding documents, assuming that part hasn't been hit with some whiteout. Pretty sad(scary, unnerving, inflammatory) that our government needs to introduce laws to follow their laws.

Giles Prentice: I don't know what's scarier, losing nuclear weapons, or that it happens so often there's actually a term for it.

I suspect it has to do with the President a few months back saying it was perfectly ok to snuff out a citizen without a trial.

Let's say the FBI kicks in your door at 3 am without announcing they are the FBI. You come out with a gun...WHAM! You're dead.(Wrong address btw) Normally it would be investigated, they would be found to be following "Proper Procedure" and Voile'...Nothing happens to those who murdered you. This law would change that IMO.

After reading the bullet-ed points, sounds like a good time to leave the Dems and GOP for the Libertarian party.

Now if this doesn’t give one reason to pause and consider the distortions of liberty that have taken place in western civilization, I don’t know what will. Think about it:

Does a free society send government hit men to eliminate anyone they perceive to be an enemy of the state?
Does a free society have hundreds of police agencies, each with the authority to deprive a man of his life, liberty and property in their sole discretion?
Does a free society have hundreds of thousands of laws, codes, rules, regulations, and policies which effectively criminalize nearly every aspect of one’s existence?
Does a free society lead the world in prison population?
Does a free society hunt down criminals and terrorists by treating its citizens like criminals and terrorists?
Does a free society tell its citizens what foods they are / are not allowed to consume?
Does a free society steal your money at gunpoint to buy bombs that they drop by remote control on brown people in faraway lands?

I don't think anyone here wants to protect Al Qaeda.

I think this is more that we love our liberty, and should deny any attempt to destroy it.

 

[Pawpaw120]

As I understand it, this is the second time it was introduced, it failed the first time, looks like it is going to be shot down this time as well.....But, they are going to give all preppers 75% off bullseye target tee shirts.

 

[TxHannah]

What is the point of passing such a law when Obama and his jackboots blatantly ignore and crap on the laws and constitution now? Does anyone really think that Obama has any intention of following any laws? Seriously?

The introduction of one "special case" leads to the creation of more "special cases".

So, you're fine with the government murdering people without trial?

 

[Basic Human Unit]

A law restricting the powers of government? What a socialist! :upsidedown:

Just so you know what you are supporting.

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home. If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be under the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." ~ James Madison

Do you really believe what they have done since 9/11 has been about protecting you?

 

[bobsmith]

Nope... its about preventing me from buying cough syrup. Every drug store in America has a Patriot Act sign up saying you must have an ID to buy the stuff. Something about preventing folks from making meth. Did meth blow up the World Trade Center? :
