tonight while recording a guest spot on a podcast i experienced an unacceptable level of disrespect from one of the hosts. so i decided to do what felt right for me and i left. i didnโ€™t need to stick around to show iโ€™m โ€œtoughโ€ or โ€œthick skinned.โ€ i reminded myself that no one is owed my time.

Not a military guy or anything but if you are tracking what you think are boats smuggling drugs into the US, why not track them until they reach US waters and then have the US Coastguard intercept them, and arrest anyone doing anything illegal instead of murdering them with a million dollar missile?

"If you find yourself overwhelmed or in distress, embrace that. It may well mean that you arenโ€™t yet blind, that you have a conscience, that in a time of unbelievable cruelty, youโ€™re choosing instead to be human."

That notion, which is rare among the most-developed countries in the world, is grounded in the language of the 14th Amendment. The amendment, ratified after the Civil War, states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

You could write this. Or you could write: โ€œThat notion, which has been the rule in nearly every country in the Western Hemisphere for over a century, is grounded in the language of the 14th Amendment.โ€

All how you choose to frame it.

Iโ€™ve obscured their picture and user name, to deprive them of the attention that they crave.

Here we go -a few reminders to those covering this:

- These are killings outside of armed conflict
- There is no self-defense justification for the killings
- That makes them extrajudicial killings under int'l law; murder under domestic law
- No label ("narcoterrorist" or "DTO") changes any of that
