That’s why I knew if he was still in the states it would end in another Waco style event. There is a bigger issue here and some people need to do some serious soul searching. If we are a society of laws based on, innocent until proven guilty, then executing suspects in the name of justice should not be acceptable.
On the other hand if we are ready to say ‘just kill that MF,’ making blind judgments on people we don’t know, based on accusations or news reports (how many times did the media get it wrong yesterday?), or you don’t like his politics then it is a sad day. There is nothing to stop the system from deciding you are a criminal and if you decide to resist, even better because they can just take you out, clean, so no one will ever hear your side of the story.

That's just the way it is, but not for every thorn in the government's side, just for some of them.

And if you don't threaten violence, the government will still hand you your ass, in jail. "Might makes right" is the way of the world, and the feds are expert practitioners.

Anyway, this incident doesn't change anything. The reality in the United States has been like this for a couple decades, at least. The government NEVER admits doing anything unacceptable, not even after it loses in court.

Amen Axamari! This is scarey stuff, the stuff of tyranny.

What was the Keanu Reeves cop movie, Street Kings? where the key line in the movie was about how the “truth does not matter, it’s what we write in our reports.”

Kinda sounds like one particular Secretary of State, eh?

Well said, to many jumping to defend or attack based upon the offical storyline.
