What if it was some guy who locked his keys in his car and tried to fiddle the door open? It’s OK for some guy to come out and blow him away with a shotgun? Even if it was a teef — teefin’ isn’t a capital crime. Ya get a judge, and a little time in the can ... not summary execution.
Yes! We should let these people’s evil deeds remain in darkness, and never hold them publicly accountable for their vicious crimes! Yes! Of course! That’s what we should do! Stay quiet, and never tarnish their reputation in the public prints. What a GREAT idea!
If the arms were already in the house, it makes no difference. They can’t destroy the evidence if you shut off the water first — they gonna smoke 40 pounds of dope?
And who uses their own children as a human shield? Even if they did, it would not work: there is nowhere to go. It’s an island. Or haven’t you heard?
I’ve asked before, and nobody was willing to answer, so I’ll ask again:
Why not position armed police outside every door and then announce, with a bullhorn, “You are surrounded. Come out with your hands up!” ... ??
That way, children are not caught in a crossfire and nobody dies unless they wanna die. The bad guys get locked up and nobody who’s innocent winds up in the morgue. It’s what an intelligent police force would do.
Respectfully, sir ... I was there. The defendant worked part-time on my property. He was a Haitian with legal work papers, if that explains anything. But I agree with your disbelief, as I would not have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my very own eyes.
The woman speaks the truth — which means she’ll get a major smackdown from the political leadership who assure us that “Ev’ting is just fine, don’ worry ‘bout nuttin’.”
I once attended a court proceeding on Eleuthera in which the officer who initially investigated the case served as both the prosecutor and a witness. He actually was sworn in, took the stand, and asked himself questions and answered them. The magistrate seemed to think this was just perfectly fine. Uh ... justice? Uh-huh.

Hmmmm ... none of us likes teefs, but I’m not sure the penalty for trying to break into a car should be summary execution by shotgun.

He’s gonna find that American prisons aren’t a very happy place, either, for men who rape little girls.
