(17,469 posts)If the police decided to attack a mobster in your neighborhood, explain your feelings in the following scenarios:
1) They take the guy, he is guilty as sin, but they also kill your six year old while she is playing in your back yard.
2) They takes out the mobster and his house, but they also kill your child and set fire to your house.
3) They miss the mobster, hit your house and kill your entire family while you are at work.
4) They hit the mobster, set fire to your house, then your family is killed by the "double tap" to make sure they got the mobster.
Revisit all of the scenarios above, but the mobster wasn't home and hadn't been for weeks.
Revisit all of the scenarios above, but the mobster wasn't really a mobster, just the victim of a neighbor who didn't like him and told the police he was a mobster.
Revisit all of the scenarios above, but the police attacking with drones were the Mexican Federal Police or the Royal Canadian Mounted police, not any U.S. police force.
Unless you are prepared to explain your TRUE feelings in each scenario outlined, we have nothing further to discuss. These are not questions of "it depends", these are NOT hypothetical situations, each of these scenarios have played out multiple times as a result of drone strikes.
