As a show of good faith: I'll answer the question you put on the table:
New Orleans: Democrat mayors since
1872
St. Louis: Democrat mayors since
1949
Washington DC: Democrat mayors since
1961
Seeing as you would not divulge the secret of your magic act, let's try a different word association instead.
Between Afghanistan and the USA: Which country are all the following considered capital offences, i.e. deterrents for recidivism?
- Adultery
- Apostasy
- Arson
- Blasphemy
- Espionage
- Fornication
- Homosexual intercourse
- Murder
- Perjury
- Terrorism
In appealing to efficiency: Which of the two countries offers same day service for malcontents? That is; arrest, adjudication and disposal of the corpse - in public?
Tell ya what Imma do, just for you? Ye olde layup. Which of the two countries offers Stoning, amputation, and flogging for lesser crimes?
(kind of a trick question, considering some of the J6 prisoner treatments)
So while I can see why many would want to get "out", I'm not seeing the "in" to the USA as an exclusive option. But make no mistake; the shooter come from an environment, knowing full well, he would get the same-day service (maybe 1 hour delivery) back home.
I would think we could agree that deterring crime is desirable, i.e. using the NG (US) versus same day service (Afghanistan) - clearly effective, but a tad bit barbaric for most people's taste.
So the question remains: Why not utilize the National Guard to help local LE avoid (deter) much of the Victim Industrial Complex (VIC) schtuff and related harms, processes and outcomes in the first ding-dang place?
