Spotted owls and trash fish are *much* more important than my wife's relatives, of course, and since after you've taken jobs away from the timber beasts, and repudiated contracts for water delivery, your victims don't have the cash to appeal to higher authority (if there were one), there's no unrest. And of course the unregenerate bastards deserved it totally -- why, they (against all reason) failed sometimes to vote for leftists, despite being members of the Universal Proletariat who are utterly dependent upon the Party for their welfare...
Child molesters? To the pillory with the bastards! Sexual harassment? Jail him right now! Due process of law? What the hell's this? Are you actually on that slime's side? To Gehenna with you!
Sorry about your ox, Ash. Mine went for the EPA/EEOC picnic in '82 or thereabouts, so I have no advice on how to deal with Gores.
