Dunedan, no one, and I mean NO ONE is a 24/7/365 agent of the state. It's just not possible.

No? Take a swing at an off-duty cop sometime, watch what happens. Better yet, blow past one on your motorcycle while he's riding in an unmarked car. The last guy managed -not- to get his shit kicked or his head shot off, but he's also not getting his computers or helmet-cam back anytime soon either.

Is this a concession that your OP sucks and that you want this thread deleted so you can try again? Because that sure seems appropriate based on what you've done thus far.

No, it's a concession that I should either have been excruciatingly explicit in my OP, because people here can't seem to find anything debate-able in the OP other than my opinion of the violent act itself and need their hands held to find the topic, or should have just stayed out of Tilted Politics altogether.

You're smarter than this thread makes you look, Dunedan.

I would say "thank you," but...no. I'll simply say that this thread's making a -lot- of people look dumber than they are, myself included.

what kind of penalty would be sufficient to satiate Dunedan and his ilk? The chair?

I'd settle for a Congressional impeachment (loss of job upon conviction) and charges/trial/conviction on whatever variation of Assault & Battery is on the books in DC, with punishment commensurate to what an ordinary person would receive for assaulting another ordinary person.
