Thieves like that are opportunists. If they can't see anything worth taking inside your car in less than 5 seconds they will go break into another. Just hide under the seats if you can.

and, as I live in Brazil, paid extra for international shipping.
I wouldn't mind (much) the change if they honor my current subscription and send me the magazines I already paid for! I just sent an email demanding a refund and cancelation.

Anonymous already denied it and, AFAIK, they don't do sneaky attacks and do not steal personal info.
It's not what I call them that I am debating with you, I am complaining about the legality of the whole thing. By any conventions or international laws that the USA signed of those guys could not be considered soldiers. So the law/convention is wrong, fine, let's change it. But that does not give anyone the right to go against it. We can't just ignore them because we don't agree or don't fit our agendas.
I'm not saying this might happened and I'm not saying they were wrong doing it. What I am against is the whole "hunt and kill" from the start.
I see your point but I am talking about the intention. There was never the intention to capture and try but to kill. You talk about armed soldiers but there was no declaration of war so he couldn't be considered a soldier by the Geneva Conventions.
I know it is a gray area but I wish the USA had shown some higher morals by capturing and trying or at least tried to do that instead of going after a manhunt with the declared purpose of killing.
So, if someone comes to a cop in the middle of the street, say in Texas, where capital punishment still exists, and says "I killed those people found in the park yesterday", the cop should shot him dead right there? You can tell me this guy maybe crazy. I could say the same about Bin Laden and who can prove him or me right or wrong without due process? Because he said so? Because people believe in him? Because other people died for him?
Due process is about following procedures and the law.
Again, good riddance with him but this was murder, no more, no less.
So what if he took credit? Even if he plaid guilty which is hardly the case as he didn't do it in front of a judge or court in a hearing (I am *not* defending the creep at all!) he has the right to a lawyer and be defended in a court of law in whatever jurisdiction, civil or military. He would be found guilty and killed? Very likely but what bothers me is this double standard. The USA likes to talk about due process and human rights but only when it's toward it's interests. Like it or not, no matter how horrible his crimes were, this this guy should be arrested and face a trial.
Ok, this guy deserved to die? Hell yeah but shouldn't he be captured and brought to justice to stand trial? I mean, the USA didn't even try to say "We tried to capture him but he was killed during the firefight". The idea was hunt and kill. Where is the famous due process?
That would impossible here in Brazil due to our consumer laws in two way I can think of: they can't limit the way I use the service (unless I'm doing something illegal) and they can't change a contract term or assign a paid service unilaterally.
Please, bare with me (no pun intended!) as I'm not from USA.
a) If this is a blatant violation or your constitution as many of you say, why don't anyone takes this to the appropriate (supreme?) court that judges constitutional matters?
b) This may be harder but, I doubt things will keep the same if there is a *very* sharp decrease on flights. If the airlines start to complain very loudly that would add a lot of pressure over the government.
The original post comes from a humor blog and some news outlets, specially abroad, picked up as real.
I don't need to point that:
a) DHCP is been defeated using hardware removers for a long time already
b) Despite how some USA companies believe, DMCA is not valid worldwide and in many places rip a DVD or BluRay is perfectly legal as long it's for your personal use at least.
