I think that's a good system for news. News is important, and once a month or so, the times actually pays someone competent to write real news. That should be available to everyone, but if you want to read everything that interests you (in my case the dining and wine section + krugman), you should pay. I would be happy to pay if it quashed the ads. Right now, I never run out of free articles anyway, since I tend to be browsing from multiple computers with multiple browsers in multiple operating systems. But, if I run out, I'll probably pay even though they will continue trying to advertise to me.Last edited by theetruscan; 05-26-2011, 04:17 PM.Hobo: We all dress up.

Note: this is not a dystopian movie setting, it's your country killing innocent people in their own homes and leaving behind tragically broken families and then trying to cover it up

honestly tho i think the team did the appropriate thing . if u got a tac team at the other end of a hall aiming at u , mind u with shields that most likely say " POLICE " and ur holding a firearm and they tell you to disarm you better fuckin drop it . some articles i read say he fired at them , some say he prolly didnt and the safety was still on . SO FUCKIN WHAT when ur told by law enforcement to disarm you do it . and if u dont but take some kinda action other than disarming then the appropriate thing , i kno this is kinda harsh , is to engage the suspect . theres no waiting for him put his firearm down and tie a cute lil peace ribbon on it after youve given him a specific command to disarm and he doesnt and then starts motioning to do somethin else . ppl who wait in those situations are the stories of cops gettin killed .
also even if nothing was found in that guys apt that doesnt mean he wasnt still involved in illegal activity . the dept had enough evidence to get a warrant AND send their swat team so whatever drug shit was goin on wasnt just some guy growin herb in a flower pot on his window

the main issue is this kind of thing happens all the time in the drug war and is nothing new or rare. cops line up the warrants and then screw it up by busting into the wrong house unannounced and kill innocent people. i'm sure this guy had them square in his line of sight and never popped off a shot but since cops have the right to shoot to kill the second they see a gun just like the homeowner does, they didn't hesitate. doesn't matter if he realized they were police or not, swat teams are trained to protect themselves and wouldn't have given him time to react. the homeowner could have shot every one of them and still been within his right to defend his family though.
cops fucked up big time, no question about it, and an innocent person paid with his life. the paper trail of a cover up afterwards is whats really scary. certainly human nature, a big scary world and easy gun laws means these accidents will happen and we just have to stomach it, but it's the lack of acknowledgement on the killers hands that really pisses me off.
question is, should this kind of stupid crap be happening over weed. if you've seen anything about the evidence found linking this guy to the charges he's accused of i'd love to see a link, because otherwise he's innocent until proven guilty where i come from.Last edited by sam_tem; 05-29-2011, 09:44 AM.
