but a cop was killed serving a warrant to a member of this group.
I know a guy that killed a cop too (drunk domestic and a gun nut) - so what? That doesn't make everyone who knew him automatically engage in plots to kill government officials. In fact was everyone who knew him was appalled and surprised. And even the fanatically anti-gun Urinal/Constipation didn't go as over the top as this article was.
Sounds like a whacko group to me. And this guy sounds like a whacko
There you have the essence of what I've been trying to get across. Of course, he sounds like a wack job. That was the whole purpose of the hit article - to portray him as a head case, to to ignore factual reporting for sensational speculation (anonymous source). What I'm saying is that the newpaper was doing the goverment's will in screwing public opinion about the guy (of course he may even be worse, but without objective reoporting we'll never know).
