Legal-Easy

Knuckles is back! This time, he's helping celebrate the ten-year anniversary of Gitmo. Who can believe the Guantanamo prison camp has been around that long. See what Knuckles has to say about this special day and Obama signing the National Defense Authorization Act that brings indefinite detention to US law, yay! A Mark Fiore political animation.

Kudos for calling out Obama on his BS the same way you called out Bush.

@TheChunkyAtheist That's because corporations are making the laws. The president is just a figurehead. Still, Obama is more moderate than Bush was and he even passed a few good laws which is more than you can say for Bush.

My professor laughed at me said it was too conspiracyish. I wonder whats going through his mind now

@smaakjeks If we only had more people willing to speak the truth. Mark Fiore is a national gem!

I would like to get Obama out of office. But the problem is, if we do that, we'll put some crazy in the Oval Office. If that happens, I might consider applying for college in Canada (I'm 16 now).

We need a lefty for president!

I remember about ten years ago homeland security was trying to make precedent that if you bought a bag of weed you were supporting terrorist. Then about five ago it was this group and that group. They are setting precedent.

@alto100 i get what you mean now. But here is the dangerous part, it's all about precedent. Anytime someone is detained and charges are pending people are already functionally detained without trial, it's just a matter of considering them and determining the charges to make the decision as to weather it's criminal or terrorist. So in effect you could be arrested for anything by any form of law enforcement and it could lead to your indefinite detention.

Dude, you are such a genius.

[alto100]

@holywarbirhtday Right, and it is null and void. Oath keepers should not obey these laws. This of course depends that we still have due process and fair and judicious courts. So, since that may not be the case and it's law and it gets enforced anyway, there is the 2nd Amendment option. All I'm saying is this is unconstitutional and no one is required to obey it.

@OldSchoolSkill If you haven't yet definitely check out the Stanford prison experiment. Although I would love to believe that torture is a only a product of a "deranged minds" but I think it's dangerous to make that assumption. In the right conditions anyone is capable of such brutality.
