Idiot Of The Day: Richard Howard of Edgewater

Mr. Howard had a letter to the editor published in yesterday's Capital. He had an opinion on the recent illegal immigration raids in Annapolis and the gist of his opinion is that our Constitution protects these individuals. As any local teen might say....WTF??

I am sorry, Richard, but our Constitution protects our CITIZENS! Here let me quote (sorry no source) the first 7 words:

We the People of the United States

Please note that it does not say, we the people of Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Canada, Cuba, Spain, or even Saudi Arabia. It says the UNITED STATES.

You claim that Leopold is trampling our freedom, I beg to differ. Who trampled our freedom on 9-11? I believe it was people under the Saudi Constitution.

Get real! You are the idiot of the day!

What do you think? Here is his letter:

There is good reason why this country's laws do not allow the military to act as police. It is deplorable when the police are allowed to use military tactics.


Immigrationis such an emotional issue that many probably applauded County Executive John Leopold's Gestapo-like tactics in rounding up illegal aliens.


However, our elected officials are supposed to uphold the Constitution, including provisions about due process and Fourth Amendment protections againstunreasonable and warrantless search and seizure.


This is America, not the Soviet Union. Unrestrained police violence against people accused of nonviolent crimes is an abomination. It was not too long ago that jackbooted bullies kicked down a door in Eastport and manhandled a pregnant woman, only to discover that they were at the wrong address.


These tactics are ultimately counterproductive. They create a general paranois in crime-ridden neighborhoods, provoking law-abidingcitizens to leaveand making the situation worse.


In this illegal alien roundup, people who were later proven innocent were roughed up and had their property destroyed. In this country, everyone is innocent until proven guilty.


If, in the world we have after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, opportunistic politicians are allowed to trample our freedom for popular causes, then we have in fact lost the war on terror.

This guy from Edgewater is part of the problem with the United States. This liberal fuck really doesn't get it. These people are "illegal aliens". They are here "illegally". If I did something "illegal" I would be arrested too!

Absolutely right. No one is screaming foul when they pick up a shoplifter at the giant. Just because there was not a handgun involved are we supposed to look the other way.

We sent Elian back several years ago..
