Meh,

Europeans were killing each other too, for millennia! Vikings killing Saxons, Romans killing Ancient Britons, Celts killing whomever they could. Native Americans didn’t have a monopoly on that.

Yes, you cleaned it up. With Small Pox, Yellow Fever, and the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade…. Mmmm so fresh and so clean!

We were the victors because we had a bigger army, better technology and more advanced weapons.

This is why we must continue to spend the money on improvements to our military and our weaponry. It's also a good reason to support our 2nd amendment.

Last year, here in my town. A 9 year old girl kept saying her mother's boyfriend was molesting her. She even told a judge and he ignored her and made her go back to her mother. The grandfather killed him. I don't think I could find him guilty.

But it's okay to free them into a foreign society? If you're on the fence about the safety of doing that here, why would you foist them onto unsuspecting people anywhere?

It's really mind blowing to me the number of Americans who are so willing to toss the Constitution out on a whim.

Good for them. One more POS taken off the streets and not able to cause harm to other children

Worked out for me! I don't know why you'd stay here and take advantage of all of our evil hard work and engineering.

Btw, nobody said Europeans weren't killing each other.

Wow. Did they give the kids any jail sentence? They have a right to protect themselves under the law. Civil rights law.

The murder victim was ALLEGED to have commited those crimes. Nobody knows here if or what he did. But people know he was murdered. And yet they cheer on the murderers. Vigilante justice is 3rd word. The comments on this case are mind boggling. They will and need to be found guilty of murder.

If somebody wants this country to be a Banana Republic, he or she should leave and move to one of those countries where they still think witches exist and burn women because they were found guilty of being a witch.

"Protecting themselves" ? You obviously didn't read about the case and yet, you still felt the need to comment without knowing anything.

While I explicitly wrote that I'm not sure about freeing them into society (and, thus, expressed doubt on calls by others to do so), no I don't have a concern about safety. If anything, we'd be safer with them in the country from where I stand. My point merely touched on what I thought was fair based on their disregard for our immigration laws.
