UW, you have convinced me that I don't know all the facts.

Dave,
Likewise you have convinced me that I don't know all the facts.

I am not willing to hang Marines for killing combatants in Fallujah close combat without a proper legal process, and I am not willing to give up my right to defend myself by convicting a refugee who may have been properly defending himself in America, without a proper legal process.

this incident is going to get lots of attention for a short while because of the numbers of dead. The fact that they are dead does not necessarily mean they are victims. There will be no high-powered defense attorneys, so I expect this to be resolved fairly quickly. Greta will not be able to eat off of this table for a coupla years.

10,000 Americans die everyday. 50 of them are murdered. This is a big cat that needs skinning and cleaning but bigger cats will need to be skinned too.

I believe our discussion here is valuable. Your thoughts are helping me think through it. I hope you will continue to express your opinion. My intent is not to silence anyone. It is to open this situation to a very large, very broad view...where all relevant issues can be looked at objectively.
