You forgot to say "allegedly"
I completely agree with securing the data (can't have people bleaching servers or deleting incriminating emails)
I completely agree with multi-pronged raid (office, residence, etc) providing there are proper warrants for searches made.
Stone is not a Branch Davidian or a murder suspect so I feel that the show of force was just that, a show. And it was done in the pettiest of ways. They made a spectacle of him. What if that was your dad or some other relative. And inviting the cameras for the show??? They tipped off the biggest blabbers in the world...people whose profession is to communicate. The cover story of protecting data is a thinly veiled lie.(IMO)
As to motives...
I do have my own demons to fight when it comes to perceived wrongs and the desire for justice.
There was a time I would have cheered like those watching the apprehending of Stone. I was more partisan than patriot...I more interested in my spin of the story than the truth. I have seen what happens when, like sharks, there is blood in the water and a frenzy of hate-filled assumptions and what-ifs is the order of the day.
I desire to see the accused treated as innocent until proven guilty and the rule of law upheld for all citizens, even those I do not like or agree with.
for my own philosophy I choose to follow a Proverb of Solomon:
Proverbs 24:
17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
and when he stumbles do not let your heart rejoice,
18 lest the Lord see it, and be displeased,
and turn his wrath away from him.
19 Do not fret because of evil people
or be envious of wicked people,
20 for the evil person has no future,
and the lamp of the wicked will be extinguished.
21 Fear the Lord, my child, as well as the king,
and do not associate with rebels,
22 for suddenly their destruction will overtake them,
and who knows the ruinous judgment both the Lord and the king can bring?
TL;DR People shouldn't gloat or be mean. That is poor sportsmanship.
