I shoot home intruders on sight. Lucky for them I don't live there.

I have updated my FMCDH sign-off with the addition of (BITS).....Blood In The Streets, which I foresee coming soon, due to the enormous increase of the communist progressive movement being shoved down the throat of this failing REPUBLIC through the Judicial tyranny of fiat law, and the passing of unconstitutional laws by the Legislative and Executive branches of our government.

This is a valid case for the ACLU, however, I doubt very much they will be fighting this case.

You need to use "banglist" as a keyword above, to link to the old "*bang_list" bookmarks most folks still use. Just say NO to tyranny!

Look, even if this article is 100% factual from beginning to end, don't sweat it. The ACLU will come in and sort this all out. It's their job. [/snot]

I thought this was Massachusetts until I read further...

WTF?

Has anyone verified this story in one of the local papers? This doesn't pass the smell test. It would have made national headlines for the scope of Constitutional abuses.

Outside of all the illegal activity by the police in this story, I'm sick of these stupid politically correct euphemisms. What ever happened to "suspect"?

Most current published data on Violent Crime from the Bureau of Justice Statistics:

Not sure if a weapon used = 6%
Total Non-firearm = 17% (knife, bottle, 2x4, etc)
TOTAL FIREARM = 9% (from Saturday Night Special to Atomic Cannon)
No weapon used = 68%

How are the Oshgosh B'gosh police doing with the 68%?

Citizens' guns were seized through searches of area homes. The police promised to return the firearms after forensic tests proved they were not involved in the crime.

F$%^ THAT ..... there would have been dead cops if they tried that in my neighborhood .....

It would have been WAY past time here.

This incident has made it around to several other websites as well. As here, most seem to focus on the constitutionality (or lack of same) of the police actions. A few have noticed another thing though.

Does anybody remember the California Highway Patrolman who was shot down as he exited a courthouse a couple of months ago? Like here, in that case every available police officer hit the streets, kicking bushes and shaking trees, looking for the shooter. Why don’t those same police forces use similar tactics when an ordinary citizen is shot? Are we to believe that the lives and well-being of police officers is more important than that of the peons? If that is true, then we have devolved from a constitutional republic to something more akin to Japanese feudalism, complete with a “Samurai” class which holds our lives and property in its hands.

Someday, somewhere, someone will shoot a police officer and as a defense he will claim that he thought the officer was drawing a gun and shot in self-defense. If that defense holds up in court I will then begin to believe that we citizens are truly equal to police officers in the eyes of the law.

I don’t think I’ll hold my breath….

" Police last week seized a number of firearms during consent searches of homes in the area, but need the bullet to match against them. Police also served a search warrant at the property they believe the shot originated from."

The residents gave their consent.

what they see as theft of their property

"What they see"? -- Someone at that paper has a mental breakdown.

It was theft.
