"No one is excusing Frein."

Really?

"Yeah, the Founding Fathers were just downright menaces, weren't they? I mean, they were worse than Eric Frein, because they set multiple ambushes for the enforcers of the legitimate government? They should have been put on Death Row, huh? " http://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3221510/posts?page=14#14

Don't pretend my comment was in a vacuum. DJMacWoW spoke the incredible blanket statement "[a]nyone that can ambush another human being that coldly is a danger to society." I was just showing him/her/it how stupid that comment was, and what a broad brush he was painting with.

And yeah, the cops are the standing army the Founders feared. Frein, the cops, the politicians, all of them are guilty in this.

But the reaction to this story is very enlightening. It tells me is that when Americans do rise up to stand against tyranny with rifles, they will be called "murderers", "terrorists", and worse for standing against "The Legitimate Authorities" who are just as dirty and just as guilty. And it will be done RIGHT HERE ON FR.
