"Carpet bombing a city is just a distraction from having drone strike'd some guy's house" kind of argument, and it only gets more ridiculous every time it is used as the number of new crimes attempted to being swept under the rug by redirecting to old crimes grows more numerous, and who does this even work on anyways? Who is going to seriously ignore new crimes, worse, even bigger crimes, because some asshole (or a fed, who knows) tried the shittiest attention redirection attempt again for the trillionth time?
