Personally, I doubt your story. Someone who does what you say was done to you has clearly earned killing.
While I agree with your assessment that he has "earned killing", I do not see how my failure to kill him earns doubt - one does not necessarily follow the other (in the real world anyway - the "ideal" world is something completely different). I did not, and likely will never have the opportunity to kill the bastard. Nevertheless, this was a very radicalizing event in my life, and was the foundation upon which many of my future "incidents" were based. In a way, the guy did me a favor: he permanently opened my eyes to the Real World. His reward, and society's reward, is that I am now a fervently anti-government/anti-LEO prick, who will never again work within the system (or for that matter, do anything to assist it in any way, shape, or form). I firmly believe that he and his ilk will get the killing they so richly deserve when enough people finally wake up and form a [political] critical mass. Until then, I choose not to take the lone-gunman approach - yes, I am a pussy :-(

-- Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... --------------------------------------------------------------------
