National "Do Not Kill Registry" Launched In Response To Drone Kill List 484
First time accepted submitter crtitheories writes "In response to the national kill list revealed by the New York Times a few weeks ago, an online "Do Not Kill" Registry has been launched where users can sign up to avoid being mistakenly added. From the Do Not Kill website: 'Through an active collaboration between the Do not Kill Registry, the brave pilots and operators of the U.S. drone program, and the American public, we believe that we can find the political and moral solutions needed to both protect the security of the United States while also satisfying the concerns of the broader global community'.

After a quick WHOIS search, and a bit of googling, I found that this is registered to an individual who worked in 2009 as a San Francisco Art Institute teaching assistant.
It's a joke site.
Now you tell me, I already enrolled Schrödinger's cat... not because I care about this overused meme, but because I've got money on the outcome.

it's a scam by the CIA, trying to tempt terrorists to fill in their name and whereabouts thinking they'll be safer.
also beware of the "do not steal my identity list", send name, address, SSN, mother's maiden name, bank details to apply

And if you manage to find out that you happen to be placed on this 'Do Kill' list [say, by a drone strike that misses you], and believe you are being mistakenly targeted, there is a defined process that you can go through.
Present yourself, in person, with complete documentation as to who you are, including birth certificates, passports, lists of friends, workplaces, acquaintances, all computers you own or have used recently, residences and anything else you consider relevant, to the nearest American Embassy. You must completely enter the embassy and request to speak to the security officer, who will look over your information and quickly render his/her judgement on your case.
And if you are not satisfied with their judgement, your family and/or acquaintances outside of the Embassy can file a formal protest with their government, requesting that you be returned from wherever you are taken to.

Reminds me of the old joke about the old Italian man. He wrote to his son in prison saying that he wouldn't be able to plant the tomatoes this year because he couldn't dig up the plot and that he wished his son were there to help. The son wrote back that he shouldn't dig there anyway because that's where the bodies were buried. After the agents swarmed in and dug up the garden, his son wrote another letter saying, "Sorry for the agents, but it was the best I could do."

You've been singing this tune for months now and never actually provide citations when people ask for them.
Now the number has increased to 3, *and* you've embellished it to include a minor.
Put up evidence or shut the fuck up.

if i close my eyes and fire into a crowd, that this somehow mitigates my legal responsibility since i didn't really know whether i was shooting anyone?
