Here's one of the many items with DHS and its supporting laws that endanger free people, “No Miranda warning to be given” now, a Justice official told POLITICO Friday night. “The government will be invoking the public safety exception.”

Answer; because these are nothing but just more, incompetent bunch of beauracrats. All they have accomplished is wasting a MASSIVE amount of borrowed US tax money and the idiots that put together all this took away many of our rights in the process.

I'm from the gooberment and I'm here to help you.

So you also wish for more intrusion into private citizens lives, removal of more of our rights and repression of civil liberties so the government can be more effective at stopping these incidents before they happen??

I would rather those agencies went away, not be granted more power over US citizens.....

How in the hell did you get that from what I wrote? I said exactly the opposite.

MAN! You see that I wrote something and automatically jump my ass just because it was me that wrote it. Unbelievable.

I saw you agreeing with Husky in wondering why the DHS is not stopping these events before they happen... That's why I put in the thingy....

The only way to stop these things before they happen would be to trample our rights even harder, which seems to be what Husky has been espousing throughout this thread.

Really didn't think that was what you were signing on for.

Okay then, I suppose that henceforth I will have to be careful. When I write a post that is clearly in the form of an answer to the question in the previous post, I will bold the question in the quote so that EVERYONE will be capable of making the association.

Actually after going back and reading Husky's OP, it doesn't sound as if he was proposing the violation of rights either. To me it looks like a general slam of these incompetent tax money wasting agencies.
