I just heard a defense against strong action against potential “honor killers” because a “crime has not yet been committed.”
Well and good. But what about the Arizona anti-illegal (immigration) law, which was criticized by the Left because “it might lead to racial profiling?” I remember that the defense of the law on the basis that “no crime has been committed and we don’t know if one ever will be” was not given validity.
When I heard about the “no crime” defense in connection with the honor killings, it reminded me of the same defense, only in reverse in connection with the anti-illegal law.
