If a person were to go on various TV shows and repeatedly confess to assault & battery

[Solly Mack]

- that sometimes lead to the death of their victims, and there exist enough evidence to support the validity of the repeated confessions, how long before the police would bring this person in for questioning? (at the very least)

The first confession? Second? Third? Forth? Fifth? Sixth? Seventh? Is eight the magic number?

Is there a number that has to be reached before anything can be done?

Seriously. You go on TV - repeatedly. You confess to your crimes - repeatedly. And everyone on TV pretends you're just telling your side of the story.

No biggie. Just talking. Nothing major happening. Nothing news-worthy taking place. Just a man confessing to his crimes. Nothing to see here.


Maybe it's just me.

1. He's a rallying call to all the hard corps potentially violent right-wingnuts.

Cheney is fomenting hatred and spewing lies.

Cheney's propaganda is dangerous. Lord help us if we are hit again with another Terrorist attack. If the country swings RIGHT due to fear, we may have the full realization of A POLICE STATE. :scared:

[Solly Mack]

3. He is dangerous and his words are even more dangerous

and he keeps confessing!

Arrest the private citizen already.

2. Seriously demented isn't it... :shakeshead:

[Solly Mack]

4. It really is

the mind wobbles

[BeFree]

5. Not you

It is something in the rest of the world that is all screwed up. Don't know what it is, but I don't like it.

8. Me neither

6. Have you ever watched an NHL playoff series?

Repeated assaults on live TV.




Pile-ons too,

[Solly Mack]

7. Seriously? You're comparing hockey to torture?

To murder?

Or are you saying that watching violence in sports inures people to a criminal confessing his crimes on TV?

[Billy Burnett]

15. Your latter point. n/t

[Sigh Sister]

9. It makes me wonder who is REALLY in charge of our government.

I think Obama wants to do the right thing, but can't for whatever reason. (Tinfoil on)

[Solly Mack]

11. I don't need a tinfoil hat but I do need a longer leg

Sometimes people drink so much the room starts to spin. So they flop on the bed (or couch), keeping one foot on the floor in an attempt to stop the spinning...I think my leg is too short for the spinning.

10. Good point, and you actually highlighted the issue.

Because Bush group was never arrested or held to account. What he did is not illegal. Quite simply the failure to enforce laws universally makes them null and void.

The reason he can do it is it is not illegal, until laws are enforced. Which is why it will happen over and over, if the pressure of society does not hold itself in account.

Note: it is possible that society wants torture to be legal, then it can spread to prisons, court rooms, schools, playground, parks, and every other venue where one person wants to control or make another do something.

Anarchy, rule by violence and intimidation. Have you seen Mad Max? How about The Postman? How about Terminator (rise of the heartless machines)?


"when we let them do our thinking for us..."

[Solly Mack]

12. True. "If it was illegal, then they would have been impeached" (or arrested)

That is the fall back

Abuse is already in the prisons, sadly :(

13. I have had many bosses who were psychopaths

in as much as they could be within their power. And people just bow and scrape. So seeing Cheney do his thing is not amazing to me. I would love to see righteousness come down on him hard.

[Solly Mack]

14. It's not what he's doing so much

..it's what isn't being done to him. (Thrown under the prison) <~~~ my idea of righteousness coming down hard on him
