Police State...
Makes one wonder when "by the people, for the people" was removed from the Gettysburg address.
This case hinges on whether the enclosed area was "open to the public or not." If it was open to the public, it was illegal. If it was a private club requiring membership and possibly a waiting period, then it was legal.
Neither case is any excuse for the Rambo-esque "over the top" actions of the government jack-booted thugs. Incredible.
All I'll say is, paraphrasing George Washington, "Government is like Fire- a wonderful Servant, but a fearful Master..."
"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."
Hillary Rodham Clinton
The Legacy of the Clinton's is alive and well in the USA.
If this kind of thing happens to US citizens under a Republican Administration, God help us if the Democrats take over! Are we slipping into socialism or are we already there?
It was replaced in the 70's with " of the lawyers, by the lawyers, for the lawyers".
As far as I'm concerned, they shot the wrong pigs.

Virginia was labeled "the communist state" by truckers as far back as the late 70's.
Officials would break into trucks at truck stops to forcibly remove radar detectors.
"Why was a 5 a.m. raid necessary? If pseudorabies was suspected, why were the owners not simply notified and a remedy worked out with the owner?"
That would have taken all the fun out of raiding the place and shooting all the hogs.
Does WACO come to mind?
Does Ruby Ridge come to mind?
Does Alleen Gonzalez come to mind?
Bacon bump
And here I thought the Clinton "Justice" Department went out of bidness in 2000.....
Cant you see them now dressed in their black swat team outfits and rifles hunting down hogs with 4 wheel drive vehicles shooting them down with automatic weapons fire.
Any redneck would have a field day at such an event. The only thing missing is a six pack of Budweiser. Well: maybe that wasnt missing. Sounds like great fun to me, but you have to be a cop to do it.
South Park needs to do a jack boot thug show. Can you imagine the heat they'd get for doing a show on that?
interesting story.

Something doesn't smell quite right about this.
Not that I am a tinfoil hat wearer or anything, but sounds like to me someone had an axe to grind with this guy.

SWAT teams are a bigger danger to American citizens than the criminals they are supposed to be apprehending.SWAT teams ought to be illegal.SWAT teams are like having a rabid wolf for a guard dog.SWAT teams are composed of people with the mentality the press condemns in members of any other gun carrying group.Recently,I watched the SWAT officers suit up in black/gray BDUs and body armor to work crowd control detail at a music event shich consisted of a few thousand country western fans watching several bands .If there were any drunkards it should have been the city that was sued because they had a city sponsored beer garden,and if a tavern bartebder can be charged for serving over the limit,then so should the city.
Never trust the people in government;power attracts too many of the petty tyrants.
Perhaps a well connected land developer has an interest in the property.
