Re: The System Has Failed Us: A Response to the Aurora “Batman” Shootings

I do not wish to say there is no selection bias in the stories. However, in the case of Brian Nichols, he shot four people on his escape from detention during his rape trial. He murdered a judge in cold blood and several police officers. His reasons seem clear, revenge and escape. James Holmes did not have any obvious factors.

We like there to be a reason behind violence. It is easy to understand revenge, greed, lust, or any number of other motivators. We feel uneasy when a crime can happen at anytime for no reason. That is why there is such concern over James Holmes. The killing had no further reason than to kill.

The question is what is constitutes a person being suspected of terrorism? Would this include anyone that pickets, demonstrates, or talks against a government agency or the government itself? Would it include people that are 'anti-technology" or people who store up more than a weeks worth of food? what a bout the Amish and those who just want to have a simple life, Would they ave to worry about being arrested and imprisoned without cause? What about freedom of speech, the right to speak out against the government if the people are have issue with the way things are being done. Will we now have to keep our mouths shut and go with whatever the government tells us or be thrown in prison with out trial? Who will stop the government if they decide to do these type of things? Who will even know???

you are right my friend, this extraordinary human experiment known as America is over, and this is by courtesy of the Military Industrial Complex, the Rockefeller, the Rothschild, and the Morgans. most of the politicians, State or Federal have been bought and paid for and the only thing we can do is to change the system. and this will take time, and effort by all Americans. just be smart and dig deep its all there, just read.

Rethink your comment on forcing diversity. Embrace is all I have to say, also don't forget that Arizona was a territory of Mexico and the influence is and will always be there. How can anyone be opposed to learning something new? let your knowledge expand and just enjoy it.

Actually, the American Japanese had this same experience during WWII when they were put in internment camps simply because they had come from Japan or had Japanese ancestry. They were given no trials and were put in indefinite detainment until after the war ended because they "might be dangerous". This bill counters everything that the Founding Fathers tried to protect with the Bill of Rights.

Put simply, Ron Paul is the candidate most likely to tell Congress to GFYS when they come up with crap like SOPA.

The average person on the street has no idea what the NDAA is or stands for. Take a random sampling from your friends and associates and ask if they know who the Secretary of State is...

The fact of the matter is the US national news has only briefly touched on this subject. To get a really subjective view point you have to look to external news sources (Irish Times, BBC [NOT BBC America] and the like).

Many, maybe most Americans are worried about keeping their jobs, keeping a roof over their heads and feeding their families. Personally I work 12 to 14 hours a day and spend another 4 to 6 hours 'watch-dogging' the below the radar news quips.

Weekends are spent training my kids and wife on how to read maps and preping for social breakdown, stock pilling canned food goods and water. Our parents are now doing the same and they thought we were nuts when we started this 6 months ago!

The American people are not ignorant (well, not the majority) but they have been side tracked by the Federal Governments diversions that have been and are playing out even now. Has anybody seen what's going on in Hungry now? Heard any news?? If you do then you know what we're headed for unless we take action now!

Ladyjenbe, your friend who has cancer should look into clinical trials, they are usually free because they are a research program and they have saved the lives of many people who would have died because of inability to pay.

No reason to worry. They're just negating the very freedoms that the forefathers of this country fought for while at the same time eliminating due process of the law. They now have the power to detain you without the right to a fair trial which is in the Bill of Rights! How ignorant are people now to not see the NDAA as a threat to the American people?

Apathy to the blatant destruction of the Bill of Rights is simply not acceptable. Speak now or forever lose the right to be heard. Silence = acquiescence.

This is different than felons because everyone including you is losing thier right to a fair trial, while felons lost their rights once they were convicted. Yeah its far fetched that you will become a victim of 'being called a terrorist', however, detaining, interrogating and potentially torturing citizens indefinitely without trial is rediculous. We have come 10 years without attack since 9.11.01 without these violations of our constitutional rights.

Yes our economy is slowing down, and yes our President should be doing something about it. But, not spending won't help us either. Some of his spending has hurt business owners and such, but most of his spending has helped those that this recession has hit the hardest - people who worked hard and lost their jobs and can't find new ones. If we stop spending on unemployment and other social programs that keep the standard of living at a minimum our economy won't slow down anymore: it will come to a complete stop. Spending isn't the fundamental problem.

WTF. . . seriously? how could anybody say the NDAA or the PATRIOT act are "OK" ? This is a direct violation of our constitutional rights as U.S. citizens. This is very wrong. If the military can now hold us indefinatly without trial or indication of a charge then this is not the america I want or what america was founded upon and what it stands for. frankly this is the opposite of that, the opposite of constitutional, and the opposite of democracy. "AKA" communism. We the people of the united states of america can join together and use our second amendment right, which by the way was to allow the people to fight the government if they were to become unconstitutional. what the people want is to be given the unaliable rights they are intitled tounder the U.S. constitution.

I may only be 18 years old and live in a very small town in Indiana but I like to think I know what I am talking about.

40,000 Americans die from the flu each year--more than died from Islamic terrorist attacks on our soil SINCE OUR COUNTRY’S FOUNDING. Perhaps it's time we heeded this quote: The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home.” -- James Madison: US fourth president, 1751-1836
