Waiting to see if he will be charged for running over his own brother.

Seems vindictive. I think they wouldn't want to do anything to push him away from opening up to the interrogator(s).

It would be interesting to see how the charges will be filed because there were two suspects involved.It was reported the campus police did not responding to a call but was ambushed while he was sitting in his patrol car in the usual location. How could they tell which brother fired the 5 shots?

don't have to. If I go withsomeone to rob a store and they kill the clerk I'm still getting a murder charge.

Dang Papi. My jaw is still on the ground. Is it possible to find something repugnant and the most awesome thing you ever saw at the same time?

There was nothing repugnant about that, fit it perfectly and capped of a GREAT ceremony.

Reminds me of Dennis Hopper in Speed

"### you!"

"Oh! In 200 years, we gone from Ive got but one life to give for my country to ### you?"

They would still have to link him to the scene.

Donations for his boat? The FBI and PD shot it up cornering the most wanted suspect at the time. I think insurance and the town can cover this one?Not covering it would be a bigger PR disaster.

If only this site was run by a boat manufacturer....

I am not in favor of making this guy an enemy combatant, but this slippery slope stuff is as nonsensical here as it is in the gun control debate. This is NO historical example of liberty being lost incrementally, over time, through well meaning action or laws. It doesn't work that way, ever.

This is a patently ridiculous statement, unless you qualify it by saying "liberty being totally lost incrementally.... Liberty is continually being lost as more and more laws are passed. People are not free to drive drunk on the highways, although there was a time when they were; people are not free to drive at whatever speed they choose, although there was a time they were; people are not free to spank their children in public, although there was a time they were; people are not free to drive without car insurance, although there was a time when they were...All these laws have been passed for what we believe are good and cogent reasons, but to say they do not circumscribe liberty is fatuous.

The fact that you regard the laws you describe as taking away from liberty demonstrates that you have a very different concept of that word than I do.

Seat belt laws in our state is a good example of incrementalism. They only passed because it was promised that they would never being able to pull anyone over for a seat belt violation. It could only be an offense ticketed if they pulled you over for something else and they law barely passed. Now I have driven through check points where all they are looking for are seat belts. The government thrives on incrementalism policies which chip away at our freedoms.

Your freedom to not wear a seatbelt being taken away is not a slippery slope in which your freedom of speech comes next. Your complaint represents EXACTLY the sort of absurdity that people are concerned about these days.

You really have no problem with setting up roadblocks to check seatbelts? It is not a major issue, but a simple illustration how innocent well intentioned laws eventually turn into bigger animals which do restrict rights in questionable ways.

This growing paranoia from both the Left and the Right in this country is really starting to concern me. Even if we do make this guy an enemy combatant, that doesn't mean we're removing all Miranda rights from everyone. Even if we were to register all guns, that would never lead to confiscation. Some of you guys have a very unhealthy fear of dictatorship right around the corner- stop worrying, it's never gonna happen.

No I have no problem with it, other than it may be a stupid use of taxpayer dollars. What exactly are you afraid of?

I'm not paranoid of them or anyone. I hope. I disagree with most of their positions.

Glad Timmy is clearly demonstrating that a libertarian values the "warm and fuzzies" that only the exercise of state power can provide ahead of all else. Especially over those silly notions of liberty.

Seriously, you're the guy who was criticizing Rand Paul for insisting that the government shouldn't be allowed to unilaterally murder American citizens. You're the one that's off-base here.

Got it; as long as the guy is guilty, it really doesn't matter how he is treated. You would have to be a fool to not see how the government constantly tries to push the boundaries of their given power; attaching satellite monitoring devices to a "suspects" car, is but one example.

I agree that fears about impending dictatorship are unfounded, but only because of the good folks at the ACLU and NRA who insist on fighting every infringement on our rights tooth and nail. If it was up to people like you, we'd be serfs.

That's not why I criticized him. I criticized him for claiming that it would be a likely or inevitable possibility- in other words, for using his bully pulpit to play into the growing paranoia.

Initially, in NY (where the law originated), you could not be pulled over for this offense; I have received a fine for a seatbelt offense that the judge would not dismiss though it was the only reason I was in court. Am I missing something about your reply?

Ive asked in other threads several times for an example of this, and no ones ever been able to provide one. It's not me being a know it all; common sense should tell you that dictatorship doesn't come about that way.

Oh my. Poster called "FootballDummy" has just served it up. Big time. It's time to SHUT IT DOWN! Dude's got swagger.

I can't speak for any state other than Maryland, but mandatory seat belt laws have gone from "only a secondary offense" in the mid'80s to a primary offense today.

Serfs how? Because We might have background checks for guns? Because you can't order an extra large soft drink? Because you have to wear a seatbelt while driving? These laws are going to make us all slaves? Seriously, you're better than this.

Same thing being done with using cell phone without a hands free device. Initially was passed as only a secondary offense, now it can be primary and you can be pulled over for just that offense.
