I'm a U.S. citizen living abroad.

[Capitalocracy]

If the government decides I'm a terrorist and kills me, how many of you will be cheering my demise?

[gateley]

1. This is really getting old. We get it. nt

[Capitalocracy]

3. So that's one dancing on my grave.

Who else?

[TheWraith]

21. As long as you're not participating in actual and attempted mass murder, you're cool.

Don't pretend like this is a matter of "Well, the government said so and that's the only evidence." First off, the guy confessed. Repeatedly, loudly, and happily, extolling how he was a part of the attempted murder of hundreds of people, and how he viewed it as a mission from God. And that's on top of the fact that he was tried and convicted of incitement to murder for his part in the death of a French citizen in Yemen.

[bluestate10]

53. I agree. Having concerns about your government is not the same as

planning and executing the murder of innocent people. The OP seems to want to set up a a virtuous model, yet the premise that underpins the challenge is all wrong.

[bluestate10]

52. Move on. nt

[Harmony Blue]

2. Apparently a lot of people

as I saw people clapping about this news. So sad.

[bluestate10]

54. If the OP killed thousands of innocent people. I would not have a problem

even WATCHING him be killed, or doing the killing myself. Folks, we are not talking about a death row inmate that got poor legal representation, OR ANY death row inmate. The man killed yesterday was a cold blooded killer of thousands that would have loved to have been in position to wipe out a big US city.

[FSogol]

4. Check thru your wallet. Do you have an Al Qaeda membership and rewards card?

If not, you are probably safe.

[rustydog]

10. Where can I get the Rewards card! LMAO

:rofl:

[cliffordu]

26. BWAHAHAHAHAHHAH

"Don't leave home without it...."

[louslobbs]

34. omg.....lol, I tried not to laugh, but.......I'll say 10 hail marys before I turn in later.

Lou

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. Keep an eye on her, too.

[brewens]

6. Put me in your will and I'll throw a big party! n/t

[rustydog]

7. It all depends what the Government puts out to the media

If Uncle Sam says you were plotting to kill our children as they petted puppies in a petting zoo, they would cheer your death.
oif they said you thought of killing Americans and changed your name to Imam bin Imam, you are fucking GUILTY and we will cheer your death.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

14. Re names: I wonder if I should look out above every time I leave the house?

[whatchamacallit]

8. All the same people who are cheering now

and they won't require any more proof than they do now. Which is none.

[ixion]

9. I didn't support the Bush Doctrine when Bush was in office

and I don't support it now.

[BeHereNow]

11. Not me- I want them to interrogate you first.

Which apparently defies common logic.
As evidenced here:

12. Unless you join Al-Qaeda, I won't.

[BeHereNow]

13. Rec. btw. n/t

[larkrake]

15. al queda is the enemy. anything less than killed is thought of as weakness.

Obama is talking to the enemy by assasinating terrorist leaders. They understand killing, they laugh about trials. I do not want my tax dollars going to pay for a trial of a confessed killer, nor do I want him to speak another word to some dumb schmuck about ten thousand virgins.

[BlueCheese]

16. Just find out if you're on the highly classified list of people to be killed.

If you're on it, just turn yourself in. If you're not on it, turn yourself in otherwise for accessing a highly classified list.

[cherokeeprogressive]

17. Most DU'ers, it seems.

If the President wills it, listen for missiles.

[Motown_Johnny]

18. How much evidence is there to support the claim that you are a terrorist?

[Recovered Repug]

19. That could be the next All-State commercial.

[Safetykitten]

20. Depends on where you are. Certain parts of Italy are quite popular with celebrity zombies.

[hlthe2b]

22. Well, I'd never cheer ANYONE's death--even Osama bin Laden...

With the latter, any sympathy was in much shorter supply, however, I'd readily admit. So are you less sympathetic than Osama bin laden?

No? Then why, pray tell, would anyone cheer your demise?



(Granted, if you were nailed holding hands with Rush Limbaugh, I might have to reconsider)...


:eyes:

[frylock]

23. best to watch what you post around here anymore

[Lucinda]

24. Not me...but I am always the last one to adopt new fads.

It's certainly been a weird day at DU.

[cliffordu]

25. Post film of yourself online calling for the death of

American civilians and I won't give a shit what they do to you.

[madinmaryland]

27. Have you threatened the US Government and supported efforts to overthrow

the US Government and kill US Citizens??

I kind of doubt it. You are still posting here.

eom.

Un-recced.

[Gormy Cuss]

56. Note that the OP's premise is that the government has decided that he is a terrorist.

So, would you cheer the OP's demise or not?

[mmonk]

28. Here, it depends on who's president.

[Zorra]

29. Well, if Obama decides you are a terrorist and has you offed,

it must be the right thing to do, because Obama said so.
:sarcasm:
So, probably about 30% of DUers would be cheering your demise in that case.

[sabrina 1]

41. Seems that is the standard. Which party is in power determines

whether something is right or wrong. I am constantly amazed at what I am discovering about the so-called left.

A few days ago the 'left' was outraged about Republicans cheering for executions. But those executions were in Texas and the candidate was a Republican.

It gets so confusing. This man has not even been charged and now I see some of the same people who were so outraged with Republicans, cheering this execution.

[DirkGently]

42. It's not mindless bloodlust when WE do it.

[customerserviceguy]

30. If you're not only plotting

but enabling the death of American civilians, I hope the government gets you soon!

[tkmorris]

43. Question: How would you know he was doing that?

It would be quite easy to accuse him of doing so, simply because you wanted him out of the way for whatever reason. Wouldn't it be nice if he could be protected from such false accusation by law somehow?

[customerserviceguy]

55. We have his speeches and so-called 'sermons' and other writings

We have all kinds of connections between the thugs we eliminated and the terror on American soil. Sorry you can't see it.

[Modern_Matthew]

31. No. Cheering on the MIC is disgusting. nt

[MrMickeysMom]

32. Depends... could be away on a Soma Holiday....

[Zywiec]

33. Why would the government decide you're a terrorist?

What a ridiculous OP.

[louslobbs]

35. For the same reason the government decided that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction?

Lou

[Zywiec]

37. I was talking about this particlular OP, not some country

Should the hundreds of thousands of expats be worried tonight in your opinion?

I think they should sleep well tonight.

[louslobbs]

40. No argument with that. n/t

Lou

[Webster Green]

39. To make you an enemy.

Not so many years back, the chimp administration lofted a trial balloon claiming that anyone who used illegal drugs was supporting "The Terrorists". I've heard timber corporations on the CA north coast claiming that environmental activists were terrorists. Our government is now under the control of predator corporations. It's not a far reach to expect that anyone they are uncomfortable with, will be declared to be terrorists.

We're on a slippery slope here with Obama embracing the Bush Doctrine. How about when we wind up with a real fascist asshole rethuglican president again? Who will be his (or her) targets for assassination?

[Capitalocracy]

44. Maybe someday I'll be considered a terrorist just for being against extrajudicial execution.

Who knows?

[BeHereNow]

45. EXACTLY! Do we want President Bachmann to inherit this power?

I swear, the lask of "future" thinking is alarming
We'd all be dead within hours if some nut case religious whack job
was elected.

BHN

[AsahinaKimi]

46. Just the thought of a

President Bachmann should bring a chill to each and everyone's spine. We will all be dead.

[Sheepshank]

36. I may cheer

I may not...depends.

[TwilightGardener]

38. Well, if you had been abroad during the reign of the Nazis and joined them

in helping fight against the United States and its allies, I'd have cheered your demise. Same if you joined Al Qaeda. So my advice to you is to not join and support any organization that has declared death to America, and then hide like a chickenshit in a foreign country.

[MineralMan]

47. Why would they decide you were a terrorist?

Common sense can really prevail, if you let it.

[Harmony Blue]

49. Common sense

says there is a reason why the U.S. has checks and balances to ensure power is not focused towards one man. This continuation of the Bush era doctrine betrays everything I was taught in civics when I was in school and how our government should operate.

[MineralMan]

51. My reply was directed at the OP, and has nothing to do with

your argument. It has to do with the statement from the OP worrying about whether he/she could become a target of such a thing. Common sense dictates that it is a silly question.

[Nye Bevan]

48. Don't publically say anything that the US Government might object to.

There. Simple.

[bluestate10]

50. If you kill innocent americans, I will. nt

[krabigirl]

57. I won't.
