The investigation was into possible violations of the Clean Water Act, according to the EPA.

This was an Obama terror offensive against American citizens!

When you've got the power, you must use it. Otherwise, you lose it.

An ancient Sumerian curse was “may the dead outnumber the living!” Our curse is that our government goons outnumber our citizens...

They are practicing.

So the fact is they went to Chicken and laid an egg.

[LibWhacker]

Looked up Chicken on Wiki and found this little tidbit:

The median income for a household in the CDP was $66,250, and the per capita income for the town was $65,400. None of the population was below the poverty line.

I will be moving there shortly. ;-)

Downtown Chicken, AK (2006)

As of the census[2] of 2000, there were 17 people, 6 households, and 4 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 0.1 people per square mile (0.1/km²). There were 21 housing units at an average density of 0.2 per square mile (0.1/km²). The racial makeup of the CDP was 100.00% White.

These brave agents risked their lives to keep America safe. We should respect that. Ok, sarcasm in the extreme.

"The ongoing investigation conducted by the AK Environmental Crimes Task Force -- consisting of EPA, ADEC, USFWS, ADFG, BLM, Coast Guard, FBI, Alaska State Troopers, NOAA, & US Park Service -- did not result in a raid," the statement read.

That there is anything called "environmental crimes", much less that is has a task force, is sickening.

I think they forgot a few alphabets in that list: CNN, MSNBC, BYOB and WTF.

"The ongoing investigation conducted by the AK Environmental Crimes Task Force -- consisting of EPA, ADEC, USFWS, ADFG, BLM, Coast Guard, FBI, Alaska State Troopers, NOAA, & US Park Service ...... was into possible violations of the Clean Water Act, according to the EPA."

Let that sink in for a moment.

There’s no reason for body armored, jack booted thugs from a benign department such as the EPA to be allowed guns in the first place, It’s a wonder they didn’t have ninja suits and helmets! This is what happens when government employees are given guns and badges as the power goes to their penis-sized brains and they get into the Rambo mode. What’s next, FAA inspectors with guns checking airline aircraft tires for the correct pressures? It’s for our safety comrades !

"did not result in a raid"

A swarm of law enforcement officers wearing SWAT-like uniforms with POLICE emblazoned on them, wearing body armor, and packing weapons, is a RAID. If they are investigating clean water violations, you send in a couple of scientists with clipboards and lab equipment, and maybe a couple of investigators, and a PR flak to talk to the locals and explain what they're doing.

"The ongoing investigation conducted by the AK Environmental Crimes Task Force -- consisting of EPA, ADEC, USFWS, ADFG, BLM, Coast Guard, FBI, Alaska State Troopers, NOAA, & US Park Service -- did not result in a raid,"

WTF does one call it then when so many government agencies INVADE a town of 17 people?

I'd certainly call it a RAID ... and INVASION might be more appropriate!

This Government no longer represents or works for us, these jack-booted THUGS are doing their best to try and intimidate us ..... I say, the backlash is going to be a bitch. There's a storm brewing ... I hear it every day from people who are pissed off. Often times in the elevators on my way to my office from complete strangers.

Yep, there's a storm brewing and the BASTARDS are going to get what they deserve one of these days soon.

Alaskan’s don’t take to these kind of tactics too well...

I am related to a mess of em and those pretty much HATE the federal government.

But the moochers have found thier way up there as well.

I blame the discovery channel and Mike Rowe.
