Tim was talking earlier here about how this kind of accountability should have been held, more stringently, for the people who burned children in Waco, and who shot them at Ruby Ridge. Maybe it's time to hold people who commit capital crimes on the state's behalf to understand that the legal sword cuts both ways. If so, I think the best way to start this is to do it in manageable increments, and ratchet up the pressure from there. To have zero tolerence for even the smallest offenses, starting with the jailing of Mr. Bell.
To paraphrase Hettinga himself, "I'm _telling!" It appears hear that Bob is not only posting "off subject, non-coding" stuff, but that he appears to be calling for taking action against the officials and judges in the Bell case. My, my, my.
Yeah, I know. It's me making work for someone else. Nonetheless: Anyone out there want to do this?
