Women involved in prostitution in Daytona Beach, Fla., have reportedly armed themselves and are searching for a serial killer behind the slayings of three residents...Nice to see all those public health warnings have finally resulted in hookers using protection...
Some prostitutes advocate helplessness, one named Sarah comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteO.K., now THIS sounds like the vigilantism the Brady Buffoons are crying about; not the true intent of the 'Stand Your Ground'law. This crosses the line written about in Exodus 22:2. They aren't defending themselves; by their own words, they're looking for revenge.
ReplyDeleteNotice how it is people that most of us would consider unsavory that are giving the Bradys what they want. (And, no, I'm not saying they deserve what they get. They have the right to self defense as much as we all do.)
If too many whores die, where will Schummer stick his head on Saturday night? Who will whip Teddy boy(Kennedy) into a frothing nightmare? Who's going to tear up Hillary's carpet? How is Pelosi to earn a living with murderers prowling the street in search of strumpets? Lautenberg won't be able to empty the slop jars from the previous doings of the night, and will be able to spend more time wrecking the wrepublic. Maybe Bush can go down and wave a few more illegals through to make up the differnce in "people who do the jobs most Americans don't or won't do. I have to go now, JBTs at the door, and you know how they hate to be kept waiting......
ReplyDeleteR.J.:
ReplyDeleteAre you familiar with Sir Robert Peel's "Nine Principals of Modern Policing"? Sir Robert formed the first London Metropolitan Police force. Here's the list. Pay particular attention to rule #7:
1. The basic mission for which the police exist is to prevent crime and disorder.
2. The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon public approval of police actions.
3. Police must secure the willing co-operation of the public in voluntary observance of the law to be able to secure and maintain the respect of the public.
4. The degree of co-operation of the public that can be secured diminishes proportionately to the necessity of the use of physical force.
5. Police seek and preserve public favour not by catering to public opinion but by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to the law.
6. Police use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient.
7. Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the police; the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.
8. Police should always direct their action strictly towards their functions and never appear to usurp the powers of the judiciary.
9. The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with it.
It's not vigilantism. It's doing the job the police are unable (not unwilling) to do.
It could become vigilantism - particularly if they "get" the wrong guy, but perhaps by taking an aggressive postion they've already protected themselves from further attack - and that's a good thing, don't you think?
Good point, Kevin. It's just that I got the feeling that they were going to be judge, jury, and executioner when I read the article. Still, when I consider how often the judicial system has failed us (and the Constitution), I sometimes think that's all we're left with as well. That, or continue being prey to the animals among us.
