Oh, you mean, like, the Oklahoma City federal-building bombing?
Swarthy men? What swarthy men renting vans? We're looking for the vast right-wing conspiracy.
I heard that Mr. Leftkow was in a cast and that it would have been difficult for him to have gotten to the basement at all. A local radio host talked about how cruel it was that he was hurded into the basement in the first place. But this says that he went down there on his own. Earlier in the piece, though, it says that he was shot on the basement floor which has a different meaning to me. If this guy broke in at 4:30 am, then surely he had an opportunity to kill the judge had he wished to do so. So killing her family was the desire all along?
Gee whiz! When you are convicted of and awaiting sentancing for arranging to knock off a Federal Judge, and said judge's family is shot to death, lo and behold suspicion is going to fall on you.
Sympathetic to Nazi's are you?
All judges have kooks appearing before them yet few have serious death threats against them much less an actual murder attempt made on them. Therefore, I have to wonder what there is about this judge that resulted in her having 2 men (both possibly kooks, possibly not) threatening and trying to kill her in a relatively short frame of time. I don't believe in coincidences. Something is strange in this and I think perhaps her record needs to be reviewed.
The only reason Hale was involved with her is because she happened to be the one who presided over his copyright case. And she initilaly ruled for him until a higher court overturned her ruling.
Too bad he couldn't admit to killing JonBenet Ramsey while he was at it.
"Sympathetic to Nazi's are you?"
Somehow I doubt it but I prefer people to be convicted of actual crimes they commit not because we don't like them.
"the prime suspects until the police stumbled on this guy."
Stumbled is right because they sure weren't looking for him.
I don't think the police - or the media - should be fingering anybody without substantial evidence. Compare and contrast the behavior in this case, and in the DC sniper case, with the NJ case in which a family of Copts was murdered not long after they were threatened in a very similar way by Muslims. Consistency in law enforcement is a requirement of the 14th Amendment, and my objection is the double standard in which suspects are only identified if they appear to be white.
Defendants included the federal government, the State of Illinois, five doctors and four attorneys who had taken part in an earlier Ross lawsuit that was dismissed by another judge.
He should have moved to Montana and joined the militia. The type is familiar; these are the people who will want to show you their 8 inch thick file of absolute proof that the Constitution is not valid and green men are ruling the world from Area 51.
What a bunch of horsesh*t. I see suspects "identified" all the time by the police and the media "appear to be" other then white.
No one fingered anyone. If you arrange to have someone killed and they are murdered by someone else, suspicion is inevitably going to fall on you. Go figure.
Sure, it is the judge's fault. POSSIBLE kooks?
Both men are (were) without any shred of doubt kooks -- and psychopathic killers.
As we can see now, the results of prejudging the situation with insufficient evidence is that the real killer would have gotten away.
Did ya hear about Martha being released from jail by chance?
He fingered, arrested, tried, convicted and executed himself.
Apparently he had some remnant of a conscience.
As to his race, it's irrelevant.
"Gee whiz! When you are convicted of and awaiting sentancing for arranging to knock off a Federal Judge, and said judge's family is shot to death, lo and behold suspicion is going to fall on you."
Agreed. Matthew Hale's followers were known to have been violent. Did any of those complaining about the suspicion falling on Mr. Hale ever hear of Benjamin Smith? Hale had threatened the judge - that is why he was awaiting sentencing - they got it on TAPE.
Sounds to me that you would be quite happy to have allowed the actual killer to go on about his merry way as long as you got to see Hale convicted for it.
I don't know what you call it but it sure ain't justice.
Very true. I remember posting caution when these sordid murders were announced when some were jumping to conclusions about who did it and why.
