May 10, 201312 yr I thought this merited its own thread, rather than continuing the thread about the child castration cannibal guy. * The question occurred to me while reading about the Boston bombing debate on the BBC The BBC mention that some US commentators want the bombers to be treated as enemy combatants. My question is: why not paedophiles? Paedophiles have a clear agenda, they share advice, and they network and work together to cause horrific injuries and death. Indeed, several orders of magnitude more deaths and injuries than terrorism. Apparently the principle is that if a bad guy is sufficiently bad or somehow well organised then the gloves come off. So, again, my question is: can we detain paedophiles with a streamlined process of law, and or shoot them with unmanned drones? *Incidentally the guy is a British immigrant to the USA, and I feel not enough British people are stating unequivocally that we're against kidnapping, torturing, and eating children. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
May 10, 201312 yr As long as that means we can deploy Drones against them then I'm cool with your idea.
May 10, 201312 yr Thread title is like something out of the Daily Mail Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
May 10, 201312 yr It's a funny thought, but a bit true as well. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
May 10, 201312 yr It will also give our armed forces something genuinely meaningful to do after they come home from hot, sandy places.
May 10, 201312 yr So, again, my question is: can we detain paedophiles with a streamlined process of law, and or shoot them with unmanned drones? No. Edited May 10, 201312 yr by rjshae "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
May 10, 201312 yr Not gonna lie wals, but if we start "streamlining" Murders and Pedos, you're standing on a slippery slope down. You're doing this against pedophiles, then womens advocacy groups will start demanding that the most depraved rapists be summairly shot too... and then the not so depraved, and then just rapists in general (or castration). Murder would be treated the same with people demanding that drone strikes be used against anyone who's killed and would be up for 1st degree. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
May 11, 201312 yr They ARE organized! Ever heard of NAMBLA? They are big supporters of the US Democrat party! "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
May 11, 201312 yr Author Not gonna lie wals, but if we start "streamlining" Murders and Pedos, you're standing on a slippery slope down.

Murder would be treated the same with people demanding that drone strikes be used against anyone who's killed and would be up for 1st degree. Well, that's why it's a debate, old boy. I'm not sure I approve of the Obama administration treating US citizens on US soil - i.e. the Boston bombers - as enemy combatants. Assuming I've got my facts straight which seems unlikely on general principle. My point was, if you sanction the context then you set a precedent, and in the US that means it's ALL FINE. Right? Look at the RICO statutes and how widely they're used now. Dangerous? - check Clandestine? - check Organized <sic>? - check Influenced from abroad as well as domestically? - check Less politically debatable motives? - check I mean if we are going to start drone-bombing a group and I can only have one, I think we should bump the child torturers up the list. I'm old fashioned. And a bit drunk still from yesterday. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

May 11, 201312 yr They ARE organized! Ever heard of NAMBLA? They are big supporters of the US Democrat party! But if the Democratic party got drone-bombed, wouldn't they be attacking themselves? Cray-zee.

May 14, 201312 yr The handling of the Marc Dutroux case in Belgium makes me believe you're right Wals. There was definitely something going on behind the scenes there in the way investigation and prosecution was obstructed at every step of the way. Powerful friends indeed. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
May 14, 201312 yr Author So, OK. What did I get wrong? Are terrorists not going to get drone bombed and detained without trial if they are US cits, or is there some quality to them which makes them different that I didn't list? "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
May 15, 201312 yr If Obama allows US Citizens to be taken out by drones, then surely the next logical step is for the Federal Government to Hellfire gun-nuts living up mountains in Idaho.
