he "was going to be the target of an assassination attempt by federal agents,"

Let me guess. His television receives radio waves from satellites and it told him this.

Nothing scarier than a well-armed nut. I lived down the road from one and one day, he just started shooting. He eventually walked out of the woods and started shooting at some deputies and they took him out. His mother blamed the deputies for not "trying to wound him". And he swore he was going to be assassinated by the FBI.

Said Galbraith: "Henry Kissinger used to say, 'It's OK to be paranoid because there is a they out there, and they are out to get you.'"

I like this quote; anyone know if it's accurate?

Asked why Puckett hadn't simply sought police help after the assassination note, Galbraith said the government had not shown itself to be a friend of his client.

Obviously the best evidence here is the "assassination note". Where is it?

The "assassination note" must be analyzed to help determine who "they" are.

"There's just too much politics in it," Galbraith said. "He wants to get back with his wife and work on cars."

OK, let's go over this ONE MORE TIME because it seems that some of these individuals aren't getting it ...

If you are a felon, and you choose to take a high-profile and attention-getting position advocating absolute right to weaponry ... DON'T HAVE GUNS (OR PIPE BOMBS) IN YOUR POSSESSION!!! Oh, and don't bolt from house arrest, either, because that may prompt a search that will turn up some weapons that you are not allowed to possess.

Where's the upside for this guy? Admiration here?

You're going to go to prison sir. I think they have conjugal visits and auto mechanic shops in the big house. Kudos.

...Charles D. Puckett, had also been missing. But after he determined that no charges were pending against him he arranged for his father's surrender yesterday to Joe Walker, the Jessamine County sheriff. Walker could not be reached for comment yesterday, but Galbraith said Walker is a friend of Puckett and will testify on his behalf at trial. Puckett is to be arraigned Tuesday on the new indictment and a trial date will be set then.

There was no note.
