I watched "The Ox-Bow Incident'' last night
Edited on Sat Oct-01-11 09:14 AM by Ichingcarpenter
I was gonna follow up with ''12 angry men;''... which I think are two of Henry Fonda's best films. The first movie was nominated for best film in 1943 at the height of WW2.
It was about Vigilante Justice without a court of law. where a certain group of people are judge, jury and executioner. Perhaps Americans should view this film again

Even the Nazis got trials at Nuremberg ...... and I hate Nazis.

1. Watch fewer movies, and get in touch with reality.


In the real world, special ops missions take time to put together, and then can and often do go wrong.

In the real world, not everyone who needs to be stopped can be captured neatly.

4. ... TORTURE them first, of course ....
:sarcasm:

When the few who support it wake up to find that the MIC and torturers aren't their

friends, it will be too late!

2. k/r
Justice without due process isn't 'justice', it's barbarianism.

8. I watched the Ox-Bow Incident
in Air force Basic Training back in 1952. The US Air Force believed that it was a useful tool for training the troops.
