I think it is absolutely insane to feel entitled to convict somebody of a crime before the crime is committed.

From there it is just a hop and skip to imprisoning people because the police has a "gut feeling" somebody is about to commit a crime.

My perception of justice demands that people can only be tried for they HAVE done.. not for what they MIGHT do in the future.

I mean how the hell can you possibly justify any arrest without a crime??

COnsidering how protective of your freedom and civil liberties the US public is, i cannot for the life of me understand how such flagrant violation of the principles of justice isn't scaring the hell outta people.

The principle of "pre-emptive strike" is just as ridiculous in civil matters as it is in international politics..

Tragic...
