What if Trayvon had been killed in a Drone Strike

[RGacky3]

Its just as much murder ... Liberals need to stop ignoring Obamas blatent murdering and using executive power to take life away without accounting to anyone.

 

[Deuce]

What if George Zimmerman is a zombie!?

 

[Travelsonic]

What if trayvon was really shot with a potatoe, and dressed to look like he was shot?

What if Zimmerman was really an imposter?

What if these hypotheticals made ANY sense?

 

[Daktoria]

What if George Zimmerman is a zombie!?

Thankfully, the government hasn't had a zombie program in the works.

AIDS might be another story.

 

[specklebang]

Are you joking Sir?! Look at Harry Reid and THEN tell me there is no zombie program.

If Martin was killed by Zimmerman's drone, the situation would still be the same.

Some people see it as a loaded issue, but drone strikes don't seem anymore terrible to me than any other prosecution of war. Even in those cases of U.S. citizenship, citizenship doesn't disqualify from you from being an enemy combatant, anymore than it disqualifies you from being considered armed and dangerous while robbing someone at gun point. I suppose some kind of argument about due process can be made, but it exceeds the limit of human ability to capture enemy citizens and give them a trial, and the president has the constitutional right to suspend due process anyway. In the end, getting hit by a drone strike is the calculated risk of colluding with U.S. enemies -- U.S. citizens who join with enemies have no specific privileges apart from foreign enemy combatants unless they turn themselves in.

What if Trayvon were an ECW wrestler and Zimmerman were a ghost hunter? Would a sharktopus have committed the same murder? Conspiracy? Hmm......

Fortunately all PotUS's are ethically and morally pure. So there's zero chance of anyone ever abusing the ability to execute American citizens w/o a trial.

Its not dro e strikes themselves that bother me, but the disgustingly cavalier attitude towards collateral damage.

Anywhere you go, theres so.eone who would give their lives to save their "enemies" children from a burning building.

Every time we kill one, we negate any good we've done IMO.

And we apparently dont care.

Rutabaga..

A zombie senator is running around murdering teenagers with a neighborhood watchman's predator drone, and you're making jokes!? For shame sir.

 

[FinnMacCool]

I agree with OP. It's interesting to see how many joking comments there are on this thread for a matter that is actually very serious.

Obama kills innocent people all the time by authorizing these drone strikes of his. He has lied before and said they minimize civilian causalities when quite the opposite is true. They need to be stopped.

And apparently, we can expect domestic surveillance drones running around our country in our new future. Reminds me of the ending of Fahrenheit 451

Bit of a slippery slope there.

Meh, nothing is sacred.

surveillance drones are already being used domestically iirc.

Not to the extent that was mentioned in Fahrenheit 451 I'm sure.
