But then they would have gone against a long standing tradition of skipping over a better weapon choice in favor of a Hellfire failing to achieve DWE!

They should have used an AIM-9 for that blob of goo.

Here in Utah, Governor Cox reminded the media that Utah has the death penalty. I wouldn't be surprised if the suspect is caught, both the state and the feds charge a capital case.
-
I'm mostly on board with you. I don't think the death penalty should be public though, as it lowers us and I think would delegitimize our justice system by making a spectacle out of it. That's not necessary. Philosophically I have no issue with the death penalty. I also don't think it needs to be a deterrent to be a just punishment. Holding "deterrence" as a requisite for applying the death penalty is adopting the Left's frame. The death penalty is about revenge. It's an eye for an eye. It's about extracting the maximum amount of justice on behalf of the person who can no longer exact it for themselves. It hasn't got anything to do with deterring crime IMO. If deterrence is a side effect for those who are so base as to need to be deterred from heinous acts, then fine, but that's a bonus. Practically, there are many instances where the justice system has fallen short, however. Making it the case that the application of the death penalty is historically fraught.

Yep. Why is Dylan Roof still alive 8 years after he was handed a death sentence!?!? He was caught red-handed and there isn't the slightest doubt as to his guilt but yet justice is delayed and delayed. And don't get me started on Sgt Hasan Akbar. 20 years!
-
Yeah I might have gone too far in the shortness of a fair trial. But, they do have the whole murder on film so there is not much to defend (you got my point).
-
I'm pro rule of law as well, and opposed to it taking years to convict a murderer. However, the answer to defending Americans' right to voice their opinions free from the risk of death is not to become China or nK in our execution of justice (i.e. a one day trial). Televising the execution might help. Especially if they request a firing squad.
-
Tragic event made even more evil by those celebrating his death. Even “mainstream” media (e.g. cnn, msnbc, etc) seems to defend the Charlotte scumbag and now the Utah scumbag. We need speedy trials with public executions. The Charlotte guy should be executed next week (1 day trial - show video of him murdering) and when they prove who the Utah murderer is, publicly execute him immediately after the trial. 20 to 30 years on death row is not a deterrent.

Yeah, you may be on to something there..."berate" is a bit hyperbolic, but it possibly shows a willingness to ignore the situation until it became national news.
-
Sort of. The answer is violence from the state. This is not new. The 60's had a *lot* of political violence. Hunt them and lock them up. Publicly and ruthlessly. If not, and where we agree, is that violence will be the response
-
My views straddle both sides of the aisle and I try to be open but for F@cks Sake some of these Liberals are soulless humans. An MSNBC guest sickly speculated that the person who shot Charlie Kirk in the neck could have been one of his supporters firing a gun “in celebration.”Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is already blaming Trump for Charlie's death. What a disgusting blob of a human. An MSNBC guest sickly speculated that the person who shot Charlie Kirk in the neck could have been one of his supporters firing a gun “in celebration.” Another blames Kirk for saying words. On the floor of Congress another sickening display. And of course your typical liberals celebrating online.

I would imagine there are thousands of fraternity houses cracking beers right now getting ready to party on campus for Charlie tonight.
-
Not being flippant or justifying it, but the answer is violence. Look at history. What do you see?

This is a really f’ing depressing. I don’t know how America recovers from the trajectory we’re on. Prayers for his wife and two daughters Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, sorry it was Dallager. Poor old fool looked like he was fit for the memory care unit when he was hauled in front of Congress.
-
*Dallager But I agree with you otherwise. There is not a shred of principle in this man. He did more damage to the USAF than most, compounded because he made us believe in him.

I’ve “known” Welsh since 1999. He is a politician, tells people what they want to hear, and blows with the wind. How do you think he made 4 stars? He is in the same vein as John Edwards—real slick. Remember when he was lobbying for CSAF and he was saying he was going to fix USAF? Then he gets in office and does precisely nothing to improve the force. In fact he caused immeasurable damage by fast-forwarding the drawdown which directly caused the shortage a couple years later. Additionally he was commandant of USAFA during the time of the sexual assault scandal, but because the scandal came to light years later, he was never held to account and Gilbert and Dillinger were left holding the bag.

Dude was dead before they got him to the truck. Zero chance anyone could take that hit in that area. He could have been on operating table when shot and still probably would have died. In the closeup video, he lost 1/4 of his volume in a few seconds. 200 yard shot and shooter not caught yet.
-
CNN is saying he's dead.
-
No one on the left, right, or anywhere in between should be shot (or suffer violence) for speaking their beliefs. I hope he recovers. I also hope someone personally informed his wife and kids rather than them enduring the mental anguish that would surely ensue a viewing of their husband/father being critically (and perhaps fatally) injured in the video.

I'll be honest.. the first time I ever voted was this election. The reason I voted was because of the shady underhandedness of the left and the whole Biden debate/removal and magical installation of Harris as the candidate. That was the most 3rd world banana republic crap I've ever seen.
-
SpeedofHeat, you're right I don't care about alleged Trump crimes from decades ago with murky evidence and provided by people who have been lying about him nonstop for years. He's not my savior, he just has beliefs I align with and is standing against violent leftist retards, drug lords, Iranian terrorists & an intentionally deceptive media/swamp who threaten our nation. I understand you think he's a really bad guy! We have a more important crisis to worry about, and in every possible way Trump is better than Kamala.

We went Sunday and it was intense. I certainly agree that Chapman should have been given a more complete display but given the totality of all the exhibits it was worth the trip. Our guide did say the sensor operator from Chapman's action visited not that long ago though the guide didn't say what discussions if any were had. One story about Cpl Rubin really hit me. Brass Balls the size of the moon if you ask me. Most MOH actions are an intense sprint where this guy ran the marathon. Medal of Honor Monday: Army Cpl. Tibor Rubin > U.S. Department of War > Story
