"In view of how this played out for me, what is going to happen the NEXT time someone like me spots a bomb in the future..? Well, he's going to want to avoid being the next Richard Jewell, and he'll simply run away AND SAY NOTHING..."
Was he right..?
Probably yes.
I’d say he was right. I felt that way after Ruby Ridge and it was reinforced after Waco but it wasn’t an absolute to me that they couldn’t be trusted for anything at all. The last three years has cured me of ever giving them the benefit of a doubt again.
There isn’t a grain of hyperbole in my statement in post #54.
Yeah; that line in the movie made the FBI guy speechless and was one of the high points of the movie.
Something I thought was ironic is that Jewell, who wasn’t a genius, got a clue when they tried to talk him in to signing something. It didn’t feel right, and he demanded a lawyer (which they didn’t want to give him). He got a bad feeling and refused to do it. The FBI played Flynn basically the same way they played Jewell, but Flynn just kept talking, they told him he didn’t need a lawyer, so he just kept talking.
