If you look at this country- differing warrants have existed for years...Old Montana warrants allowed a Judge to indicate if they could be served at a persons home or not and day or night- with less serious crimes not allowing home/night intrusions...
Historically warrants signifying Dead or Alive have existed thru a major portion of our history- as late as the 1940's...And these were issued pre-trial....
Judge Parker's court is an example- and is reported to have issued several- one was for Ned Christie when he deemed him to be such a danger to society that he must be brought in by any means available- and not allowed to escape again....
Just like now- many of these terrorists leaders are believed to be major dangers to society...
And just like these terrorist leaders/Osama Bin Laden/Anwar al-Awlaki--- Christie knew he was wanted- and had every chance to turn himself in and face a jury of his peers-- but chose not to...
Why are there differing warrants? Not all warrants authorize deadly force to apprehend a subject? What branch of government issues warrants? I always thought it was the judicial branch...
So are you saying that the last Dead or Alive warrant was issued in the 1940"s?
Good to know. There was no Dead or Alive Warrant issued for anyone that Obama has killed to date. Noted.
So the use of deadly force on an American to not apprehend him, but to just kill him has no legal justification. It wasn't a Dead or Alive warrant- you just said that none have existed since the 1940's. The judicial branch didn't authorize it. I don't recall the legislative branch waging war against the individual? A fight didn't escalate during apprehension, so there was no self defense claim....
Sounds like murder.
Why did we spend so much money convicting Timothy McVey? Why not just off him in the back of the patrol car that picked him up? You would have been okay with that right OT?
