Note: I had recently decided not to frequent FR, but with William Cooper's death, I came back to see what kind of response his demise engendered. The posts I read are so ridiculous that I felt it necessary to post my thoughts in a new thread, along with the audio link that succinctly illustrates what happened to Cooper, a man I found very hard to take serious. I tried to listen to him, but I find that people like Alex Jones (who I also find hard to listen to) are more worthy of my time to. Good Patriot radio should be a clearing house for information, with legible documents to back it up. People who just espouse their theories and beliefs IMHO should get down off the soapbox and stop taking themselves so seriously. In Mr. Coopers case, it appears that he bought his own rhetoric hook, line and sinker, which resulted in his own death and the critical wounding of what was possibly a Peace Officer who respects the TRUE spirit of this Nation.

My indifference to William Cooper has turned to disgust. He has just thrown mud on the Patriot movement to which he imagined he was the leader.

I would like to see the affidavits responsible for the arrest warrant.

The "friend" of Cooper who was on the Jones show, at least the first night (I can't recall his name), had been repudiated by Cooper as someone who betrayed him, which a caller pointed out to Alex near the end of the show. His assertions should be seen in that light.

And Alex's "theorizing" on what happened to Mr. Cooper is just that.

Heck fire, here ah was thinkin you was talkin about J.D. Cooper. Whatever happen to that boy?

in the end he was just another nut who misused his Right to bear Arms to threaten and hurt other law abiding Americans.

No kidding. Ya think so???

Enough already!

Why can't people see the actions of Mr. Cooper for what seems obvious (after hearing the accounts from neighbors), without making other illogical inferences.

1)He lost it and started brandishing a weapon in town.
2)This forced local law enforcement to do what they had long-avoided doing for the Feds...bring him into custody.
3)Cooper, allowing his justifiable suspicion of our Federal government to overtake his long history of law-abiding conduct, misjudged the situation and wrongfully injured an innocent man and got himself killed.

This DOES NOT NULLIFY all the good work that Cooper did in the Patriot movement, on the 16th Amendment, or as a volunteer in our Air Force and Navy!

So now that he's dead why don't you all stop twisting the knife in the poor soldier's back?
