This is an exclusive. A look at George Zimmerman's journal...

That's nothing compared to a glimpse inside the mind of the goddamn Zimmerman!

[farchivist.livejournal.com]

We apparently have the same thought, yo. See my latest.

[madscience.livejournal.com]

What George Zimmerman did to Trayvon Martin is the moral (and probably legal) equivalent of what Barack Obama did to Anwar al-Awlaki and at least two other US citizens. I'm baffled and disturbed by the lack of outrage over the latter.

Yea and gang wars are totally the same as when the United States invaded Afghanistan!

[madscience.livejournal.com]

Smedley Butler famously said something like that. And I agree.

Yeah, law says no.
And several moral systems would disagree too.
Yes, yes, we all know how you feel your moral system and thoughts on legality (and those that agree with it) are the only right ones.

[madscience.livejournal.com]

So, pray tell... in which moral system is it permissible to kill someone entirely on the killer's word that the victim was behaving in a threatening manner?

[farchivist.livejournal.com]

Why ask me? I don't have knowledge of the entire 7 billion moral systems extant. Variants of nihilism, I'm sure. Chinese legalism. Bushido, depending on sincerity.

[madscience.livejournal.com]

You said there were several that disagree with me, so you ought to be able to name at least one.

Yep, sweet tea and skittles are the equivalent of going between safehouses of known militants with intent to cause violence against American citizens. You're much better than this petty logical fallacy. Whether or not one likes this policy. Your argument is flawed.

[madscience.livejournal.com]

"going between safehouses of known militants with intent to cause violence against American citizens"

Allegedly.

The similarity is that in both cases, we have only the killer's word that the victim was in any way suspicious.

Oh please; you were in the military and you know there's constant SIGINT on all that, more video footage then you would find in a 50-year-old peeping tom's collection. You're just ticked off because you don't get a look at the classified intel and you can't make the government show it to you.

[madscience.livejournal.com]

No, I don't know all that. All I have is the government's word that there's a single shred of evidence implicating al-Awlaki in anything.

But you're right about one thing: I am ticked off that this alleged intel was not unclassified and shown to the public before al-Awlaki was killed in our name. Very, very ticked off. And rightfully so.

Here's (http://www.metafilter.com/90796/Is-Anwar-alAwlaki-a-meddlesome-prei-imam) your (http://www.metafilter.com/94370/Saving-Anwar) outrage (http://www.metafilter.com/107918/Anwar-alAwlaki-killed-in-Yemen).

[madscience.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's a sad whimper. Where's the MSM? Why isn't the GOP all over it? (Answer: because Obama's one of theirs.)

[new-wave-witch.livejournal.com]

Also chemtrails.

[american-geist.livejournal.com]

Lol that's a stretch.

[i.livejournal.com]

Yes, because Trayvon Martin was working for Al Qaeda and George Zimmerman is Commander in Chief of the armed forces at war with them. It wouldn't at all surprise me if George Zimmerman believed something very similar in his tiny, diseased mind.

[madscience.livejournal.com]

Barack Obama says al-Awlaki was working for Al-Qaeda. George Zimmerman says Trayvon Martin was behaving suspiciously. Why do you believe one and not the other? I think they're both shitbag liars on a power trip.

[i.livejournal.com]

good for you.

[farchivist.livejournal.com]

Because one is vetted by SIGINT and HUMINT and the other wasn't. There isn't any doubt that al-Awlaki was a member of Al Qaeda. Even before 9/11, he was known to be affiliated with them and acted as a recruiter. It's not just our government who claimed that either.

Ah, for a minute there, I thought he had an LJ.
