Wednesday's Availability Report

John Brown didn't get long. Nor did the Lincoln assassins (acting in the name of a country other than the US), abettors, and standersby. Widely witnessed treason is a case for summary execution with vast historical precedent. These methods are not fitting matches for how we want the law to work for average citizens. I don't care. I don't care that the law has an ineffectual definition of treason when I can see it for myself. Along with a 100 million other witnesses. If anyone is unsure, we can replay the videos on a loop. But they're citizens, these "alleged" traitors? Really? Persons who publicly, violently assault the seat of government with arms in hand don't forfeit citizenship the moment they do so? They get to enjoy a benefit because they weren't hosed to the ground with .50 cal as their actions invited? My, aren't we civilized following decorum on the Titanic! Legality triumphs over the obvious. Our violent enemies remain alive and most serve only tiny percentages of their worthless lives (such is the value of someone's life who takes up arms against the United States, no?) in prison. But this is an emotional appeal, Roma. That is the way of the mob and not a nation of laws. No shit. I didn't change the rules; they did. Let's play. It would have been easier to have acted on Jan. 7. Round the whole bunch up and put them on slow boat to Gitmo. Sink the boat. Send Trump to join them on Jan. 20. Pretence, uh, everybody saw them attacking the capitol and TV changing their status as prisoners. It's not criminal law so much as military law. Our vibrant experiment as a free people has become hardbound. The laws established to keep that experiment on the rails now derails it through arcanity which is the new tyrant over the obvious. ETA: I didn't name @TwiceHorn at the beginning of the post because it's not for me to volunteer persons to engage my raving and bloviations. We seem to be leapfrogging each other as we post which gives the feel that I'm specifically directing my opinions at Twice. Twice's opinions are as nuanced as anyone's; I don't seek to encapsulate them. I've always appreciated the input from Twice. It ain't easy bringing slaps of reality.
