  This makes our work against The Death Penalty pale by comparison--at least those condemned men had jury trials and convictions, even if sometimes flawed by bad science and racism. What a horror Mr. Bully-In-The-Pulpit metes out with his focus on the latest fear weapon in his arsenal, treating immigrants as though they are terrorists.

    Yesterday, in southern California, near San Ysidro, a man was killed by

    His crime...fleeing. We, the general public, may never know whether this 
    person was actually doing anything seriously illegal or not. 
    Regardless...he paid the "maximum penalty", he was killed on the spot. This 
    means that the border patrol is now cop/judge/executioner. In this case, 
    two officers shot.

    Clearly our new policing policiy is "shoot first, ask questions later." 
    Now we know, that police can shoot to kill if they think you are fleeing. 
    Not to stop, delay, intimidate, disable....but to kill. Everyone now is 
    presumed "guilty" and can be "sentenced to death" by some moron who has, 
    with whatever training, had a Badge slapped on their chest. Hooray for the 
    American Way.

    When this sort of stuff happened before...say around the Berlin 
    Wall...Americans were all disgusted at the use of lethal force by East 
    German or Russian border patrols. "What evil animals" we would croon.

    But in the new Post-Reagan World, death by cop is perfectly ok. Sanctioned 
    by two-faced politicians and fear-mongerers of all persuasions. Will there 
    be any prayers said for this poor soul from the pulpits tomorrow in San 
    Diego county. I seriously doubt it.

    How is this situation going to improve with the addition of 6,000...mostly 
    untrained...National Guards people...patrolling the borders?

    Golly, I certainly feel a lot safer here in Virginia, knowing our Sacred 
    Shopping Malls/Multiplexesl/Manicured sub-divisions are being kept safe from 
    starving peasants.
