Here he describes an exchange between Dianne Feinstein and federal prosecutor Johnny Sutton, who is busy persecuting (not a typo) our Border Patrol Agents for doing their jobs.
His comment makes clear he equates international border control with domestic policing. He naturally, doesn't point that out...just uses the comparison to confuse the issue...disagreeing as he does with Feinstein's (correct) position that we have set up a system in which the Border Patrol cannot do their jobs.
His is an idiotic position. And he blithely uses the comparison to fool thoughtless people into equating two wildly different situations. He's read entirely too much Leftshit nonsense...it's seeping into his head, apparently.
Time for a vacation Jim!
Trigger-Happy DiFi http://www.townhall.com/columnists/column.aspx?UrlTitle=senate_examines_convicted_border_agents&ns=AmandaCarpenter&dt=07/18/2007&page=full&comments=trueThat last line is just pathetic. And I have a feeling that Taranto, like the rest of the Wall Street Journal crew, is so blinded by the same affinity with big business they are on the wrong side of the Immigration Debate...everytime they put pen to paper. Or finger to keyboard.
"Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee criticized the heavy sentence two former Border Patrol agents received for non-fatally shooting an illegal alien who smuggled drugs across the border," reports Amanda Carpenter of TownHall.com. Carpenter describes a rather hair-raising exchange between Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat, and prosecutor Johnny Sutton:
*** QUOTE ***
Feinstein asked Sutton when agents should be able to fire weapons while pursuing a fleeing suspect. Sutton replied, "If a person does not pose a threat to them, they have to use other than deadly force."
"How do they do that?"
"They chase them off."
"And, if they try to chase them and chase fails, while they are still yelling 'Stop?' "
"That does not authorize them to shoot."
"So, in other words," Feinstein clarified, "any drug dealer on the border who doesn't obey a stop command and runs, cannot be shot?"
"Yes ma'am," Sutton replied. "Unless there are other circumstances, but just the fact they are running and they were a drug dealer is not enough."
"No wonder so much drugs are coming across the border," Feinstein said.
Sutton later said that if the laws were relaxed it would mean that "some [innocent] people are going to get gunned down execution-style by a cop."
*** END QUOTE ***
One wonders if Feinstein would advocate letting cops shoot unarmed fleeing suspects on the streets of San Francisco or Los Angeles.
You can trust the Journal on a lot of subjects, but Immigration ain't one of them. Open borders is their rallying cry...the more the merrier. Talk about out-of-bloody-touch.
