>> How about these men........do you think they are innocent? I'm not the guy going around saying people are innocent when the overwhelming evidence is that they aren't. I don't know who those people are but I'll presume they are cold-blooded killers (or you wouldn't have posted them) so I doubt they are. But I'm getting a little bit sick of the arbitrary killings from one end of this country to the other; drive-by shootings, "thrill killings", turf wars, murders over a bag of weed or crack rock, whatever. These arbitrary killings are something relatively new and imo, the result of a political process gone awry. You make drugs illegal, there is big money in it and you're going to have killings over it. If you have a minimum wage that effectively prevents teenagers from being employed (and thus leaves them with time on their hands), you're going to have killings. If you have "baby momas" with 12 kids and 12 unidentifiable absent men, you've got teenagers running the streets selling dope for a living and becoming prostitutes at 17. If living on the streets is no better than living in prison, you're going to have people who choose prison as a lifestyle. This week a bastard in my town went on trial for his THIRD murder (1991, 1998, and 2011) after being convicted and paroled on the first two (but we've got the dope smokers locked up!) It is taxpayer dollars funding this entire mess. Instead of working these kids are running the streets while their single parents are screwing the next baby daddy in the living room. And the EBT card keeps the cash flowing. There is no need for individual responsibility because someone is always taking care of everything. They bury the next kid and move on.
