He wanted to "start a revolution" because he mismanaged his family farm into the bankruptcy? What a self-centered jerk.
Desperation does funny things to a man. In the farm crisis of the early 80's, we lost 4 neighbors to suicide in a 6 month stretch.
You're right he should have been executed for not licking enough boots.
His crime was not a failure to "lick boots".
His crime was to fail to do an honest day's work and then get so overwrought believing that the world owed him a living that he damaged public property, threatened thousands of people with harm and preoccupied law enforcement with his stupid antics, thereby placing other people in danger.
He licked far too many boots - his whole rationale for his shenanigans was whining about how US taxpayers wouldn't fork him over enough of those fat subsidies he was used to.
Ridiculous. Some L.A. gang members get less time for killing policemen or children.
Hey, anything beats having to face life's problems like a real man, right?
This guy's making me look bad.
LOL!
In reality, no one is going to support anything regarding the growth of tobacco (excluding perhaps increasing taxes). At this point, he's got a Boston Tea Party with minor federal damage.
But when he announced 'organophosphate bomb', that got the appropriate jackboot attention because this is when he crossed the line from protest to threat. These materials are neurotoxins (post synaptic uptake inhibitors) and are chemical cousins of material such as Zyklon B.
For 2 days, this guy's selfish actions shut down several of the major roads into downtown DC. If you know anything about DC traffic, his actions are almost a hanging offense.

Once I saw the picture of the tractor I knew it wasnt about me.
I make the red ones.
Yeah, well I figured it would have been quite a drive for you.
:)
LOL fellow cheesehead.

WTFIIWNC? :)
Massey & Farmall Cub were the ones that came to mind, since my family has one of each.
The guy's farm isn't far from my house, BTW.
