Not sure why this gets posted as some kind of own.
The only reasonable response from most Americans would be to give the FBI more power to intervene in these things before they happen
EDIT: based on the responses from the good posters below me, I'm obviously not communicating well. I'm saying that repeating this line "they were on an FBI watch list" is just manufacturing consent to give the FBI more power to intervene preemptively. I'm not saying OP is participating in it, but this phrase keeps getting repeated in the news.
I said reasonable Americans. This was stupid. I only meant it seems reasonable to most Americans to give the FBI more power to stop these things before they happen. OBVIOUSLY, I think it's a stupid idea.
News story: The police knew about the pedophile ring being run in the house, but they were unable to act because of restrictive warrant laws. This is the 18th time we've reported on this phenomenon this month. If ONLY there were a way to prevent these things from happening in the future.
Burgerbrain viewer:
This has been happening since the 20th century and nothing has changed regarding feds’ powers as a consequence. The only thing we get is more cops in schools, but that’s not really relevant here. And even then, having a cop or two in school is a pretty poor event to policy ratio in the span of like 120+ years. Even in conservative states, literally all they do is propose more guns in school. They don’t care enough to propose more powers for cops, just more vague funding and power that they were already going to receive regardless.
