Law to stop the government killing you

Posted on August 10th, 2012 by James Higham

Ian Parker-Joseph mentions the Zero Hedge article:

Last Friday, US Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced HR 6357, a bill which aims to ‘prohibit the extrajudicial killing of United States citizens’ by the federal government.

In other words, in the Land of the Free, they need to pass a law to prevent the government from indiscriminately murdering its own citizens. Now if this doesn’t give one reason to pause and consider the distortions of liberty that have taken place in western civilization, I don’t know what will.

    Indescriminately? I don’t figure they would be indescriminate.

    Would such a law have helped Ian Tomlinson? His death was pretty indiscriminate.

    Those are good points – on the one hand, it’s targetted and on the other, it’s a culture of indiscriminate violence they are introducing.

    Not indescriminate according to Ian PJ it is quite clearly the opposite of introducing indescriminate violence by his own words that you James quote. Tho it is his take on the subject.
