Repeat offenders getting away with it tell us more about the state of law enforcement and the justice system than the low life offenders; we know what they are. The answer is not to let the government ignore it then suddenly go on a binge of executions or other draconian measures, which would only encourage the worst behavior of all kinds by government, ranging from malfeasance in allowing criminality to crushing punishment beyond the nature of the crime. But if we can ever achieve a government that enforces laws to protect the rights of the individual, when someone is deported several times and returns for more crime despite proper border controls, then we are safer with him in prison here rather than sent back on the loose.

Instead of acknowledging that his equation of burglary with terrorism, for which the perpetrator should be "executed", was inappropriate, Blarman has launched into his typical personal speculations and attacks, now claiming he is being "persecuted". He was not misrepresented, he was quoted exactly. I do not misrepresent him, do not "persecute him" and have not been "warned about it by the forum admin". I respond to the content of what he writes.

I did not quote him with the phrase "illegal government executions or vigilantism"; he said he wants the burglar to be "executed", and I said "Please do not use this forum to advocate illegal government executions or vigilantism" -- because that is the only way to do what he advocates.

He's now shouting that "TEN CRIMES" as "critical" somehow justifies his position (at first he claimed three was the criterion), then dishonestly claims that I "don't believe that borders or border laws mean anything", which obviously is not true and has nothing to do with his calls for "execution". It is Blarman who is "engaging in inflammatory remarks and dishonesty" contrary to the guidelines for this forum.

You repeatedly misrepresent what I write to fit your own persecutorial attitude. And you are well aware of exactly what you are doing because you've done it multiple times in the past - and you've been warned about it by the forum admin. All I have to do is point to your comment about "illegal government executions or vigilantism." Your words you want to cast as mine.

The guy was convicted of various crimes AND illegal entry TEN TIMES. Not once. Not twice. TEN TIMES. A fact you want to ignore because you don't believe that borders or border laws mean anything. To you, it is neither invasion nor is it a breach of property rights but merely an inconvenient law you wish would disappear. And so because you wish it would disappear, you downplay it, even though it is a critical point in the entire debate. You try to paint me as being the "illogical" and "dishonest" one when it is you who are dissembling. Post flagged and downvoted for inflammatory remarks and dishonesty.

Blarman said he wants the burglar to be executed for committing more than two burglaries: "The guy out [sic] to be executed as a terrorist. He's clearly going to keep breaking the laws." That's what he wrote. There is no excuse for it. He still subjectively pronounces "To me this is terrorism" and "he doesn't have to be blowing people up to represent a threat". We know the seriousness of crimes. It is not "absurd" to reject Blarman's equation of burglary with "terrorism" as a capital crime. His retreating behind a claim to "hyperbole" as he tries to have it both ways -- "harsh punishment" is the "most effective method of preventing future crimes" while subjectively pronouncing "To me this is terrorism" -- is dishonest and illogical, along with his pompous posturing with his "and you know it".

...and the judge and all demo-commies should serve 5 years time in Venezuela...welcome to socialist heaven...

Not a big deal but......FYI, the judge is a she

The judge should stay in jail until they all return to court.........

Here in Alabama, we have a "three strikes, you're out" law. A third felony is an automatic life sentence without parole. Some consider that worse than the death penalty.
That law a partial result of prison overcrowding, new Alabama prisons were being built during the 80s and are now bursting at the seams.
Me dino began work at one of the new one during 1982. By the late 90s, general population two-man cells were being converted into three-man cells by maintenance simply welding on a new bunk to the wall over the two-bunk stack.
Having seen what I've seen, there is no way I can be tempted to do anything to get me dino sent to an Alabama prison.

To me this is terrorism. He is a non-citizen repeatedly committing crimes against citizens of this nation. He doesn't have to be blowing people up to represent a threat to our citizens. An unrepentant repeat offender is a danger to any law-abiding citizen.

Yes, my response was hyperbolic, because it illustrates the absurdity - not only of his behavior but of the government response. My response was only half tongue-in-cheek, however. What is the most effective method of preventing future crimes? Harsh punishment. That's been proven. The murder rate has skyrocketed since capital punishment has been taken off the table (for all but the most egregious crimes). The number of illegals crossing the borders has skyrocketed since Obama refused to enforce the laws. And on and on.

But it is similarly absurd to criticize me for advocating "illegal government executions or vigilantism." I did no such thing and you know it. If you want to call me out for hyperbole, you'd better not use it yourself either.

Yes, a repeat criminal is not a terrorist. Mixing up the two creates confusion. Trying to attach a derogatory label on a group of people so they may be condemned is not justice nor does it allow for intelligent discussion.

However, blarman's point, without the hyperbole, has some validity. Why let repeat criminals out? At some point have they not proven themselves to be criminals? Isn't prison the place for such people to be?

Also, the previous comment posters are referring to another story about a small group in Arizona unrelated to the article. Those folks seemed, from reported info, to have been promoting terrorism.

There is no indication in the article that he is a terrorist. The only crimes mentioned were burglary and illegal entry into the country, neither of which are punishable by execution. A 'third offense' does not become a capital crime. Capital crimes include various forms of killing, espionage and treason. Please do not use this forum to advocate illegal government executions or vigilantism.

You'd think the businesses in San Francisco would start screaming about what the city is becoming. I know people that would like to go there but have declined now. Politics seems more important to the left, even more so than common sense and survival. And what the youth of this country is leaning by us letting it happen will ultimately destroy our way of life as we know it today.

A wall should be built around D.C. and as soon as someone gets elected they will enter never to be heard from again, or obeyed.

That boggles me dino prehistoric pint-sized mind.
That must be because Democrats are really fat-headedly all puffed up with themselves about how freakishly tolerant they are. .

Regarding the Taos terrorists, the local angle from the perspective of one who has lived in that general area for over a year (originally San Francisco and Oregon - you get the picture), and at one point was accepted into the judge's alma mater (Hastings) to become a lawyer (we all have something to hide), I can tell you the vast majority of the Santa Fe community supports releasing the terrorists, and the Democrat judge who let them out is in an elected position in a hugely Democratic district. Most folks in this area think she did the right thing. When one reads the details of their existence near Taos (not necessarily easily obtainable), it is beyond the pale that they were released. The kids were actually being trained to shoot up schools, per unbiased news reports and police sources. It boggles the mind. If you have one.

To a Muslim terrorist, anyone who does not convert to their kind of Islam should be dead or a slave, and me dino does not think they are interested in male slaves.

Yeah, at San Francisco's most smelly site for the homeless.

How about the same for Kalifornia.

Absolutely! Does the media think that it's immune from terrorists attacks. Well, it's not. To a terrorists, if you're an American you should be dead., .

Methinks most if not all of Fake News will simply ignore the story.

Coming soon near you, the third movie of a franchise~ESCAPE FROM D.C.
A trailer scene snippet: Soldier in full body armor stands on sand bags waving a sword over a row of machine gun nests.
Dialogue~"Wait until you see the whites of their zombie eyes!"

True. I was thinking about their enforcement

I agree...

A lot of their immigration policies are economic protectionism and should not be adopted here. Switzerland is another example.

This judge, I think, is from San Francisco and a real Liberal. What makes me so upset is that too many people in this country will be fine with what she did. The media won't call these terrorists Muslim terrorists.
