Do you call the Department of Justice or the Department of War when you reply to terrorism?
Is terrorism crime or war?
If it's war the due process is very brief.
Declare war, start killing. Evidentiary rules are extremely slim.
There ARE rules for how we go about it, but with that declaration the terrorists will have to find uniforms and a recognizable command structure damn quick before the section on partizans is dusted off and used.
Did you know that not even the Nazis were accused of war crimes for summary executions of partizans?
But you have to have a lot of stomach to start the process.
Which is why we treat it like crime.
Which is also why we never really stop it.
But I cannot help but think a whiff of grape shot wouldn't go a long ways to showing we're serious about not giving into terrorists.
A couple MOAB here and there wouldn't be out of line either.
Terrorists commit acts of war. And, yes, they even have uniforms, like Antifa with their black uniforms, and they also have ununiformed members (like the videographers that aren't in uniforms that relay orders from the shot-callers to the black-clad goons. Or the 'nice ladies' who repeatedly ram government vehicles.)
ReplyDeleteThe American public, overall, isn't quite up to shooting the turds on national tv, but we're getting closer and closer every day.
Trump declared Antifa a terrorist organization. Said TO has a manifesto that is a declaration of war against these United States. Time to go all FAFO with heavy metal poisoning delivered at speed.
