I'm more of the opinion that we shouldn't execute assholes in the desert with Hellfire missiles without due process, but since that's not a popular view, why are we making exceptions?
Some of us are not making exceptions. I did not say that was right, and I am not making excuses for the President's kill list either.
There appears to be a sizable and troubling difference in the offical response - we saw hundreds of militarized police with body armor, tanks, chemical weapons and high powered weapons deployed to deal with mostly unarmed protesters elsewhere in the nation but we see Oregon militia protesters left largely alone.

I am going to say because there is a difference between a few dozen morons with guns in a shack in the middle of nowhere and hundreds of protesters with gas bombs, rocks, bricks, pavement, bats, or whatever else they can get rioting and looting in a city, putting thousands of lives at risk from spreading fires and random violence.
I am not for lawlessness, they should be charged and have a trial and if convicted pay the price. No one is above the law, including celebrity, politician of the "affluenza" types.
It sounds like they are having a meeting today, will probably declare victory, and go home. It was not all bad:
"Meanwhile, the influx of law enforcement officials, reporters, politicians and the curious has caused something of an economic boom in January, typically a slow month for the area.
Cherrie Glick, a waitress at the Apple Peddler, said that in the last several weeks she's earned a couple hundred dollars more in tips, plus been called in to work more hours, as have other employees."Everybody who has come in has been nice to us," she said, noting she wasn't allowed to talk about the wildlife refuge. "
summary, break the law, pay the price BY JURY NOT HELLFIRE MISSLE.
