    If you genuinely believed that there was a building in your neighborhood that was actually murdering babies and ripping their bodies apart and selling them, and law enforcement isn't doing anything about it, what would you do?

    Do nothing? Or attempt to save the babies with deadly force if necessary? Remember, deadly force is only authorized when life is in danger. This would be a case where life is in danger.

    The first thing I'd do is get confirmation from an unbiased third party, to make sure what I thought was happening was actually happening.

    I can hook you up with a good professional who could act as an honest sounding board for you if you think you are in that situation. Alternately, a clergy member of your choice would be a good person to speak with before taking any action.

    I would publicly shame them on Facebook. Anonymous would then come in and save the day.

    So I guess I need to be explicit or posters will make failed attempts at wit.


    If Carly Fiorina's rhetoric that babies are being murdered, torn apart and sold and law enforcement isn't doing were to be actually true, why would it be morally reprehensible to attack a facility that is literally murdering babies and tearing them apart?

    Can you have it both ways? Can you propagate Fiorina's rhetoric and condemn people who attack PP at the same time?

    If Carly Fiorina is lying out her ass about .... oh wait. She IS lying out of her ass about the matter.

    Before I answer, I wonder if the OP would answer this.

    If you KNEW that gun violence was being perpetrated on citizens (like we saw in San Bernardino) and as the President states if we simply put in place common sense gun laws to prevent them...would you go out tomorrow and attempt to forcibly take guns from those that disagree?

    It's quite remarkable how oblivious they are to their own contradictions.

    If by common sense gun laws mean no firearms for individuals on the 'No Fly List'... Yes. Of Course yes.

    Sounds like Fiorina is accusing law enforcement of criminal negligence or complicity in murder. There goes her police endorsement. . . You won't be quoting her in a few months. That's for sure.

    I know... But she keeps on stating it as if it were thus I'm referring to a hypothetical scenario where her rhetoric was true and that you applied her beliefs that a fetus's life is as precious as a toddler's, and adolescent's, an adult's etc.

    Then why haven't you? Or do you have a list of folks you've done this to?

    Because you and I know in my hypothetical, murdering a baby is far more black and white than gun regulation and individuals on a no fly list which is an actual valid argument by the right that the no fly list is not always accurate.
