Don’t worry. freedomwarrior998 can explain why this is all ok.

He did it on a previous thread on this subject but I — not having the high mental caliber of freedomwarrior998 — forget all his reasons.

freedomwarrior998, could you please explain again why this is all ok and how it is we’re all getting upset over nothing? (Because I must confess, reading this once again makes me very, very upsted.)

I apologize for my inability to remember all the great thoughts you previously posted on this subject — on why there’s nothing wrong here, why it’s not really a SWAT raid, and why we’re all getting upset over nothing — and I would dearly love to be re-illuminated by them.

Thanks in advance for your troubles.

Something I hadn’t thought of before, these 15 jackbooted thugs for the department of Education had to be flown in in. the DOE better not have a LEO force nationwide.

How much did this cost for a nice little raid in Stockton? Tens of thousands of dollars? how much was defrauded?

Remember, everyone arrested is guilty. LEOs never make mistakes. all alleged perps are scum, even if they have no record.

I think that this would utterly horrify our Founders as it appears to be the very thing that our 4th Amendment is to guard against. Yet we learn that a complicit executive and judiciary are sufficient to overcome this protection with the stroke of a pen and there is no redress.

There should be a "/sarc" at the end of this but I lack the proper Orwellian mindset. Paging Mr Kafka, will Mr Kafka please pick up the white courtesy phone?

*** Something I hadn’t thought of before, these 15 jackbooted thugs for the department of Education had to be flown in in. the DOE better not have a LEO force nationwide. ***

From the earlier, original article:

1) NO the DOE doesn't have a nationwide force. They had one local cop with them to 'make it legal' (or seem legal). And fwiw, the local cop didn't get involved in the raid, he stayed outside.

2) Yes they had to be flown in. Prolly on Gubmint owned Lear Jet type 'business' plane. (as seen on tv shows NCIS or Criminal Minds)

And according to freedomwarrior998 on another thread (sorry for not forgetting this, freedomdude, but you really, really ticked me off on that other thread and I'd love to see you come on this one and try posting your tripe here), the "perp" in this case is a "fraudster", which I guess makes it all ok.

Frankly, I don’t care if you get “ticked” or not. The fact is, there was no SWAT team. The lying media how desperately ran with the sensationalist version of the story has now confirmed that. So this columnist is lying right from the start.

Second, according to the statement released by OIG, he was not handcuffed, and the children were not held against their will. So unless you were there and can provide proof, all you have are the ramblings of a liar. Since we already know that the first version of the story that this liar has put out there has been retracted (because it was a lie) then give me one reason to believe any other version of events he offers.

You can stamp your feet like a petulant child and tell me how ticked you are if you like, but you will get no other response from me, especially since you don’t have a right to demand anything of me. Here is how it is... no matter how “ticked” you get, unless you can provide proof of the sequence of events, then you don’t have a leg to stand on, and this is just more Alex Jones tinfoil nonsense that you just want to believe so you will deny reality to believe it. So go back to telling us about “Satanists at Bohemian Grove, Lizard People, evil Jews controlling the banks, FEMA teams, concentration camps, black helicopters, and SWAT boogeymen.”

Since there is no way to rationally communicate with folks who want to believe that black helicopters are after them, I’ll not even try. Post away. You aren’t going to get anything further from me in this thread, even if it makes you “really, really, really, ticked.”
