Well Shooting Them IS An Option

J.J. Jackson* | April 9, 2006

Especially those ones that engage our law enforcement officers with firearms - which does happen.

Arizona’s attorney general and a U.S. federal attorney filed a complaint with the Federal Communication Commission yesterday against a Phoenix radio station and a fill-in talk show host over comments made last month suggesting the solution to the illegal immigration problem was to “randomly pick one night every week where we will kill whoever crosses the border.”

In their letter to the FCC, Attorney General Terry Goddard and U.S. Attorney Paul Charlton criticized the March 8 broadcast by host Brian James on KFYI as “dangerous.”

“This type of threatening and inciting speech is dangerous and totally irresponsible for anyone, particularly a licensed body using the public airways,” Goddard and Charlton wrote. “We are deeply concerned that, given the intensifying conflict over immigration in Arizona, this speech may lead to violence. Tempers are short on both sides and the situation is highly volatile.” - WorldNetDaily

Gee, I seem to remember something … something about freedom of speech and Congress not making any rule against it …

The FCC is granted power by Congress (by law) so by logic the FCC cannot infringe upon free speech except in the one instance stated in the Constitution which is treason. Is the FCC now going to say that shooting criminals in the act of a crime that fail to cease and respond is not a valid tactic? Boy, I’d hate to be in thee shoes of the FCC, Goddard and Charlton the next time a police officer has to kill someone threatening him or her.

And no, this isn’t incident akin to yelling fire in a crowded theater either.
