    then deported to the most southern part of South America.

    Hey, I hear Argentina is a beautiful country and plan on visiting soon. They make good wine and olive oil and have very beautiful women. One of my best friends is from Argentina and is polite, educated, generous and very smart.

    Why are we focusing on his looks being connected w/ his behavior? Good looking people kill too.

    i do think that a persons looks are connected with their behaviour to an extent, but i agree with you sentiments entirely, if a person does wrong, they do wrong, but i don't think there's any need to villainise them because of their looks, that's what happens in racial disputes and the like, shotgun trial & mob justice.

    I think the officers were irresponsible in not killing him, instead of shooting him w/ beanbags and taking non lethal shots AFTER he had stabbed a BABY!!!

    I agree with your point about looks Avis, but disagree with this here. They still may have hit the baby if using live fire if it were still in his arms.

    If however the baby were not in his arms anymore then they shot him, unless he is using lethal force towards the officiers then they would be at fault.

    It seems that no matter what some of them do they can never do right. Too much force not enough, dosn't seem to be a happy medium.

    When officers saw Echevarria stab the baby, they tried to subdue him with the beanbag rounds, then bullets, Harding said.

    A baby would likely die just as quickly from a beanbag round.

    Then they shot his ass. They shoulda shot to kill, even if it were in the femoral artery.

    Judging by his mugshot, the bastard got walluped pretty good upside his face.

    Just drop the guy into the general population of any maximum security prison and let the inmates know what he did.

    End of story.

    I'm glad the baby's prognosis is good.
