The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

And yet the American citizen has Constitutional rights,

From whence comes this sudden interest in the Constitutional rights of those who find themselves in the crosshairs of a government strike?

Let’s play a game:

Here’s the scenario…

A US citizen with aforementioned Constitutional rights has just murdered someone and has barricaded himself on the top floor of a building and continues to take pot shots at passersby, in spite of entreaties by the police to surrender.

Question: are the police justified in giving a sniper the go ahead to shoot him?

If your answer is “yes”, then why do you think the government was wrong to take out a US citizen member of Al Qaeda, planning terrorist operations against the US, while hiding in the mountains of Yemen?
