In reply to the discussion: Sheriff’s Office Claims Infant at Fault for SWAT Team Blowing His Face Apart with Grenade [View all]NYC_SKP
(68,644 posts)24. Oh My God!
The act of sleeping in a room about to be breached by a SWAT team constituted criminal conduct on the part of the infant. At the very least, the infant was fully liable for the nearly fatal injuries inflicted on him when Habersham County Sheriffs Deputy Charles Long blindly heaved a flash-bang grenade a destructive device, as described by the ATF, that when detonated burns at 2,000-3,500 degrees Fahrenheit into the crib.
Merely by being in that room, Bou-Bou had assumed the risk of coming under attack by a SWAT team. By impeding the trajectory of that grenade, rather than fleeing from his crib, Bou-Bou failed to avoid the consequences of that attack.
In any case, Bou-Bou, along with his parents and his siblings, are fully and exclusively to blame for the injuries that nearly killed the child and left the family with more than one million dollars in medical bills. The SWAT team that invaded the home in Cornelia, Georgia on the basis of a bogus anonymous tip that a $50 drug transaction had occurred there is legally blameless.

We are all potentially violent. Just that most of us, liberals especially, are careful not to be
