We have to end the stupid drug war. We have to end capitalism and its ideology that might makes right and greed is a good thing.

In other words we have to do away with right wing ideology. iIt is the only way to make life better for everyone.  And note, it is the ultra liberal right wing CATO Institute that is making this argument.

So, all of us who have been crying ¨Hark! Is that the distant....sort of distant....not so distant....sound of jack boots I hear????Have not been just librul fear mongers and talkin thru our hats??????

THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES, LOCALIZED, VISABLE, UNCOMFORTABLE, SCARY, CONSEQUENCES TO BEING GULLIBLE AND PREFERRING NOT TO KNOW.

It was my understanding that the officers were plain clothed, which makes it more understandable to me why she would shoot these men.  If they were wearing paramilitary uniforms then she was wrong, but being 92 years old she may have just been frightened. She probably couldn’t hear well so if they were yelling, identifying themselves, she possibly could not have heard them.

IF someone was dealing drugs out of her home, then whoever that person was, in my opinion, is the one to blame here.

It also teaches us that safeguards should be created and implemented to prevent events like this, and I’m not talking about gun control. I think this woman had every right to defend herself and her home.  A more thorough investigation on the police’s part may have served to prevent all of this. Surely they could have figured out who lived there and for how long, before they conducted this raid and finding a 92 year old woman lived there, could have managed to get her out of the house before the raid.

One word sums this up, tragedy.

Was there no other choice available to these officers?  I respect their need to protect themselves, but this instance does seem very sad in so many ways.
