wrongly convicted men murdered women and kids at Waco were treated as "acceptable collateral damage" because the FBI's priority at the time was taking down the Mafia, covering up for the lies of the BATF.

Birds of a feather. They surely deserved their sentences and more.

[Lurker]

Sleep soundly America. The FBI is working hard to protect you.

you can't be serious...

that has to be one of the inane statements that I have seen on FR in a log time ... (that says alot)

I think you might be happier in China, N. Korea, Iran or another country where guilt by association. or trumped up false charges as used to imprison "undesirables"...

we don't aren't supposed to do that here...

bet you supported Nifong also...

Meanwhile, Whitey’s still on the run...

A voice of reason. Ahhhh, refreshing. Hey there L.

People are punished for crimes they actually committed, not ones they are framed for. If you can prove that these guys committed an actual crime, then fine. If not, then you're full of crap.

I suspect the latter.

[ozzymandus]

So are these guys mobsters who were not guilty of this particular murder, or were they innocent law-abiding citizens who were framed? There is a difference.

They surely deserved their sentences and more.

Here's hoping the FBI takes a real personal interest in you and then decides that your life will just be 'acceptable collateral damage.'

[Lurker]

There is a difference.

What exactly?

[SubGeniusX]

If any of these agents are still alive ... They should be placed in PMITA Prison for a minumum of 30 years ...

starting today...

[SubGeniusX]

There is a difference.

Nope... no differnce in this county we (are supposed to) get a fair trial ... and get convicted.. based on the evidence...

not have some self-rightous LEO frame us ... if they had commited a crime they should have been tried for that ..

[Inquisitive1]

you can't be serious...

I'm willing to bet that they have paid for the crimes they have commited, even accidentially, that they will never be brought to trial for.

[WoofDog123]

presumably there are some on FR who think the government maybe used to do things like this, but surely doesn’t anymore.

[SubGeniusX]

I'm willing to bet that they have paid for the crimes they have commited, even accidentially, that they will never be brought to trial for.

I am just thrilled to see that so many on THIS site have apparently no regard for this little document we have in have in this country...

please let me introduce you to it as you have obviously NEVER seen it and have no respect for it ...

it's called the CONSTITUTION

specificaly the part you appear ignorant of is:

AMENDMENT IV:
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.

please familiarize yourself with this document...I don't understand how you can have a problem with this...

please explain

[Elle Bee]

let's see ....

the Fumbling Bumbling and Incompetent frame several people who spend decades in jail

our tax dollars are used compensate the victims of the FBI's crimes and there is no prosecution of the FBI weasels?

they operate with complete impunity and they make the few honest amongst them colored with their felonious conduct

Birds of a feather. They surely deserved their sentences and more.

Depending on whom you ask, I’m sure we all do.
