Yep
I didn’t expect a Remembrance for 2 more weeks:
On August 21, 1992, 18 months after Randy Weaver’s missed court date, six U.S. Marshals infiltrated his property. They were there on a scouting mission, checking out the lay of the land for the U.S. Marshals Office in their plan to stealthily capture Weaver in a future raid. However, things quickly spiraled into chaos. Randy Weaver’s 14-year-old son, Sammy, family friend Kevin Harris (who also lived with the Weavers), and the family dog, Striker, were out walking the property at the same time.
Striker sensed something, began barking, and ran in the direction of the six marshals, according to History. Sammy Weaver and Harris followed. The exact sequence of events that followed is highly disputed, but Sammy, Harris, and the marshals ended up exchanging fire. One of the marshals, Arthur Roderick, shot and killed Striker. Either Sammy or Harris killed Marshal William Degan. And somehow, Sammy Weaver ended up dead with a bullet in his back, according to Famous Trials. It’s not completely certain to this day who fired the shot that killed Sammy, or why. The marshals present at the time claimed they didn’t even know he was dead until much later.

There’s been a fair bit of this already.
30 years on, and what’s changed?
All I want for Christmas is a “Great Big Conga Line” (of people wearing Orange jumpsuits and wearing brand new wrist and ankle bracelets)...
This has been going on for too long.
Just for posterity...
Wounded Knee (x2)
Ruby Ridge
Waco
Elian Gonzalez
Hillary Clinton.
I could go on but won’t, except for this tidbit...
Robert Mueller knew Whitey Bulger better than the case officer handling him.
And as some of you know, Bulger was my cousin.
The FBI needs to be dismantled.

They were terrorists then and they are terrorists now.
It’s not even debatable.
