Involuntary Manslaughter?

wallacesawyer, I don't know where you live but this happens all the time. This occurence always happened in history albiet when some oppressed entity(ies) is violated by a powerful yet corrupt or bias entity pushes their moral code on an oppressed entity(ies), biet hippies or indians! even Nazis or Judians ...See also the Russian revolution.

So the answer to your question is YES!!!! because nobody has ever received any sentence for a crime(s) that they deserved... thats our judicial system hard at work. If a punishment had ever fit the crime then there would be less need to reform any criminals themselves or any potentially new ones, when "An Eye for an Eye" worked so much better in the past. Now there is simply no risk in commiting a crime, you simply get food, lodging and clothing at the expense of the imprisoning body. This is just pacifism in sheep's clothing. Just think of all those empty prison cells that old philosophy would provide.

Dislike what UR viewing _what UR hearing _whatever's happening! U could go elsewhere or turn it off

As noted, he was only defending himself (and a young girl) against a cop who was shooting at both of them. The cop wasn't just racist, he was highly corrupt, and had previously helped kidnap a young boy who ended up being killed by some of the captors.

In real life, BJ would not have been convicted of anything, as the girl would've corroborated that he was acting in self-defense.

It's *possible* BJ would've been convicted of an earlier killing of the young man who raped his friend. But in that case, the young man was shooting at him, and had just helped kill the young boy. So I don't see any conviction happening there either.

It does happen! And they frequently become 'parks'. By law, the tribe that exists in the area is supposed to get 'first dibs' at taking it over or buying it out. At Fort Columbia, on the Columbia River in Washington State, as soon as they found out the Chinooks were actually interested, they decided they weren't giving it up, weren't closing the 'park'. But while this was all in the works, someone stole the huge, ancient planks of old growth cedar out of the theatre. That was worth something, let me tell you. And they never did a thing about it!

Great post!!

Certain people on imdb STINK!

Normal Person, a large loose knit group of people forming protests and communes in over four years (Hippies hitting their stride in the mid 60s but being around since the beginning of the decade and having origins from Beatniks before that) is very different from a small group of orphans and runaways raising the money to build various studios from scratch, creating a news magazine, and developing a miracle cure for child abuse. The last one is especially frustrating since people dedicate their lives to helping those who were abused, and evidently it took the uneducated orphans of the Freedom school less time then it takes to get a bachelor's degree to succeed.

Emotionally traumatized teenagers aren't known for their ability to work faster then people who have money, experience, and resources. In their effort to make the freedom school seem awesome they gave up realistic credibility. They even included that idiotic lie detector that can tell lies through the TV. Something like that would be far fetched in a sci fi movie in the future, much less being made by somebody with no training or even a lab to work in

The Billy Jack series was better off making us think the kids at the freedom school were good at in prompt, rather then trying to make us think they are smarting and more capable then all the scientists and government officials of the world
