re: #128 ralphieboy

there are also rules involving dealing with persons who present a real and imminent threat to other people’s lives. I think this case falls under that heading.

The only ruckus is over “due process”. I think the term needs to be expanded to include cases like this, as I fear he will not be the last person we might have to take out to ensure the safety of innocent people.

Do you know where I can find those rules,or does anyone? I’m curious as to what they are. I know this is pretty far-fetched, but what if “personhood” were redefined as we’ve seen some of the religious right want it to be? Wouldn’t that make abortion doctors a real and imminent threat to other people’s lives?

Ditto for the whole creeping sharia absurdity—if someone like Yerushalmi were able to basically outlaw the practice of Islam, would I automatically present real and imminent threat?
