In reply to the discussion: Pic Of The Moment: Justice? [View all]NM_Birder
(1,591 posts)177. no comment about my use of plastic bags ?
I know I must sound like this weeks "America's Most Wanted", but you'll have to take my word for it, I'm not hauling ass around town talking on my cell phone smoking dope trying not to run down citizens. But yeah, I have and will use my cell if I need to, I much prefer to smoke than drink but do neither while driving, and turning on red in NM isn't against the law, it's just for us "thrill seekers". I travel NM extensively for work, and if you know anything about NM, there is a LOT of NOTHING between cities, I have been known to exceed the speed limit, and even god forbid...... talk on my cell.
The point was, I understand the risks involved in my crimes, and if caught I'll suffer the consequences. Manning is enjoying the fruits of his crimes right now, and will be for 35 years, and I'm glad for that.

Yes, and I think it's time to just ignore all these 'diversion' OPs and stay focused on the issues.

Wrong. In fact, "practically all" I do is respond to baseless personal attacks.

It can't be more clear that he and all of the other big banksters have stolen more than the mafia

I'm hoping that someone, somewhere will figure out a way to try them even if in absentia.

Why didn't Manning enjoy the same immunity as the other government employees?

Ignoring the Military Whistleblower Protection Act of 1988 is why he is not a whistleblower

one may then easily rationalize that some laws are illegal to break, and others not so much...
