FBI to Put Criminals Up in Lights

Posted by samzenpus on from the billboard-busted dept.

coondoggie writes "The FBI today said it wants to install 150 digital billboards in 20 major U.S. cities in the next few weeks to show fugitive mug shots, missing people and high-priority security messages from the big bureau. The billboards will let the FBI highlight those people it is looking for the most: violent criminals, kidnap victims, missing kids, bank robbers, even terrorists, the FBI said in a release. And the billboards will be able to be updated largely in real-time — right after a crime is committed, a child is taken, or an attack is launched. Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Miami will be among those cities provided with the new billboards."

    So you had no physical damage done to you, but you beat the living shit out of somebody? Congrats, the charges are perfectly valid. Self-defense doesn't include the right to teach people corporal lessons.

    "... people (especially in USA) would over act."

    What a crock load of fear mongering.
