their daughter didn't want to fly to iraq to marry some old man.
parents probably sold her.
Boyfriend was unprepared to invoke the articles of the Frontier Commission of Texas of 1874 and put these two scumbags into the dirt where they belong.
When you love a woman from certain Indian (subcontinent) cultures or the Muslim culture and she loves you back, you love her unconditionally. I was with my Hazizah, my Swan, for 6 happy years before she had to go back to Algeria with her family because of family issues totally unrelated to our relationship and we still always keep in touch. We never faced any adversity from anyone in her community but I knew I had a duty to protect her and she knew as well.
There are scumbags in every sector of the population and one must understand that they are not dissuaded from arrest, jail, or even a wounding. The dirt is where they belong when they commit certain actions. In 1874, when Confederate veteran and former captain in the 15th Texas Infantry Richard Coke was elected Governor of Texas and finally unseated the hated Reconstructionalist carpetbagger Edmund J. Davis, Coke's first priority was to reestablish the Frontier Commission and the Texas Rangers, both formerly part of the State Guard which was dissolved by the Reconstruction Bureau as part of Texas's "readmission to the Union" in 1870. During the years of Davis's administration, when Texas had no state militia, both hostile Comanches and the Comancheros led by Quanah Parker had wreaked havoc across the western borderland, their activities virtually unchecked. From several hundred to up to a thousand friendly natives, Texans, and Chicanos were abducted or massacred. At one point, the Western Union Telegraph Co. issued one of the highest private bounties targeting just one man in the history of the Old West, for Quanah Parker's corpse. Because every time the company tried to expand their network of relay stations and lines to the still unconnected regions of the state, the Comancheros ambushed and killed the linemen trying to do their work. With the reestablishment of the Frontier Commission, Governor Coke authorized the Rangers to use any and all necessary force to not incarcerate, but eradicate the source of the attacks. The Rangers' protocol was simple and straightforward. "You raid one of our towns, we raid back 4 times. We will not burn, torture, or disembowel like your braves do to our folk, but we will shoot every single brave on sight. No quarter will be given".
In just 2 years, the remnants of the bandits that survived the Texas Rangers' scorched earth sweep of the plains desperately sued for peace with the Coke administration, their leader Quanah Parker pledging unconditional cessation of hostilities towards the state of Texas. The few who fled still westward into the still unratified Territories now found themselves facing a fully established Union Territorial Administration with over 2 dozen forts, each one garrisoned by several regiments of US Cavalry reinforced by mountain howitzers and Gatling guns.
The two savages in the Twitter link above chose to attempt what they attempted that day and they should have been terminated right there so they cannot harm anyone else again. Hope the boyfriend's (who is her classmate) love for that girl remains strong and he learns an important lesson from this. In a situation like this, no quarter is to be given. Sorry bub, you ain't getting outta here vertically. The modern "civilized" approach to the judicial system and emphasis of "rehabilitation" has done nothing but allow the population of terrorists, criminals, and other vermin to continually increase. Because for most who chose to harm, there is no such thing as rehabilitation, except through composting. That is why laws like Castle Doctrine must be expanded and other provisions that ensure one can use lethal force to stop an imminent threat to life without ANY threat of prosecution or unnecessary "investigations". A criminal who never makes it out of the crime scene is a criminal we never have to be concerned about again. Even if it does little to discourage future evildoers from acting, the main priority is that the previous subject will never reoffend again.
... And since I still got half a shot glass of Jim Beam in front of me, I figure this is one of these posts that can use a song to go with it...
