A Massachusetts woman says the FBI used a chain saw blade to cut through her door and held her at gunpoint for at least 30 minutes before agents realized they were conducting a raid at the wrong home.
Judy Sanchez, of Fitchburg, says she awoke to heavy footsteps in the stairwell on Jan. 26 and walked into her kitchen in time to see a blade chop through her door.
"I took two steps, face the second door, and I heard the click of a gun, and saying, ‘FBI, get down,’ so I laid down on my living room floor,” Sanchez told WHDH.com. "I was screaming, ‘You have the wrong apartment, you have the wrong apartment,’ over fifty times. And then I seen the big blade coming down my door."

I like the way you think.
Heads up.
Bear in mind the SWAT raid of the Jose Guerena family home was to seize evidence only. The Guerena raid was the culmination of a twenty-month investigation. There was no arrest warrant and Guerena was only suspected of illegal activity. When he responded to the ‘break-in’ armed, he was killed. He never fired a shot and the weapon he had chosen to use in defense was found to have the safety engaged.
As a result of that raid a lawsuit in the amount of $20M was filed in August? 2011. No arrests of any of the others suspected of crimes have been made, or at least announced, in the local news reports.
Homes to the rear of the Guerena home were hit by rounds fired by the SWAT team. One can only imagine what might have occurred had shots been fired as randomly in this raid as when they were fired in the Guerena incident.
Here is the link to the Wiki background on the Guerena raid. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_Guerena_shooting
Yet these raids, along with the unintended consequences, continue.
The FBI went downhill after J Edgar Hoover died. Now it is a overblown law enforcement agency.
I have a friend who is on the FBI hostage rescue team. My other friend always brag about talking to him and hearing his exploits. I bet he dont mention this little escapade.
The FBI should go back to investigating crimes instead of Committing them.
I’m Celtic/Danish.
We’re a pretty nihilistic bunch.
;D
I’m a thistle plant.
I’m not overly attached to this life and there’s people and critters I really miss a lot waiting for me in the next.Absolved, Chapter I, the battle of Sipsey Street.
Sure beats the hell outta laying in some hospital or nursing home, dying by degrees.
A 1911 isnt an automatic and you know it. She knows it too.

Cool anything that shoots ACP is a legal auto.
“Uh, if he’s a GySgt, he would be a Marine. SEALs are Navy. ;)”
There are plenty of Marines in the SEAL teams because the Marine Corps is also part of the Navy. I know this because I’ve been married to one for almost three years.
Personally I would go for a shorter blade to make cornering quicker
for that special downward zipper effect.
Your link accidentally picked up an extra http. Here is the correct link. :-)

A hundred years ago when it was named, they named the round it fired "ACP".
Can you wake up your other brain cell and figure out what that "A" stands for?
"The M1911 is still carried by some U.S. forces. It was widely used in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Its formal designation as of 1940 was Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911 for the original Model of 1911 or Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911A1 for the M1911A1, adopted in 1924. The designation changed to Pistol, Caliber .45, Automatic, M1911A1 in the Vietnam era.[1]"

Dude, you are showing yourself to be more ignorant all the time. Better give it up before that nice young lady (who was smart enough to marry a Marine) fires up her keyboard and verbally kicks your smart @$$ for you. (And I'm fairly certain you won't want to PO her husband...) '-}
She wasnt offended and knew what I meant. I know what ACP stands for goob, I own 1911s and while they load automatically like my XDM they dont shoot that way do they.
BTW she doesnt need you to defend her. Shes very well written and easily understandable.
“A 1911 isn’t an automatic and you know it. She knows it too.”
Irrelevant. The model 1911 is properly referred to as an automatic. Why? I don’t care and I don’t need to care. I just need to be understood when I ask my husband to pass me my .45 automatic at the range.
Ultimately it is spiritual and ideological moral battle. Government is sanctioned by God and its just use of the sword of men, but the government must itself be governed.
The founders of America peacefully sought and then fought for independence in principled dissent, not because they had a basic animosity toward moral authority, as occupiers and anarchists seem to have today. But the government the founders wisely instituted realized both the danger of autocratic power in the hand of fallen men, as well as the fact that if men are not ruled from within by God and conscience, they must be ruled from without, “either by the Word of God, or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible or the bayonet,” (Robert Winthrop May 12, 1809 – November 16, 1894), Speaker of the House, and later president of the Massachusetts Bible Society).
Without this men shall “live by” the sword and die by it, as it becomes a battle of weaponry and reliance upon such, and in which both the government and the rebels can both be detrimental, as seen so much under Islam.
It is the work of evangelical Christianity to bring souls (by spiritual means) to be ruled from within - being born again in repentance and faith in Christ who gave Himself for us - so (in addition to salvation from sin) they need not controlled from without, and will elect leaders who uphold the right.
But instead the war against God in America has cost this nation tremendously in souls, lives and money: http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/RevealingStatistics.html
And now a word from Daniel Webster —
“If there is anything in my thoughts or style to commend, the credit is due to my parents for instilling in me an early love of the Scriptures. If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.”
If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth be not diffused, error will be;
If God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendancy; If the evangelical volume does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will;
If the power of the Gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of the land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness will reign without mitigation or end.”
“Lastly, our ancestors established their system of government on morality and religious sentiment. Moral habits, they believed, cannot safely be trusted on any other foundation than religious principle, nor any government be secure which is not supported by moral habits.... Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens.”
