- One of the factors which precipitated this change of tactics by the OR
- folks, is that in the Commonwealth of Massachussetts the courts are laying
- on 2.5 year jail sentences for blocking clinics. Even the Christian
- Martyrs think twice before risking the jug for a couple of years.
-
- I have a modest proposal. Two and a half years jail time imposes a
- consider expenditure upon the folks of Massachussetts, and this in itself
- may tempt some activists to risk the jail term. What I have in mind is to
- use this new electronic bracelet to confine clinic burners to their homes.
- If they wander, then shoot'em. This works out best for both sides. For
- the Christian Martyrs it is a way to be with De Lawd, and for the rest of
- us it is good riddance.
