Ummmm......How?? When I had the foresight to save the thread it was at about post #27.
Perhaps I read a response referencing the original that contained the word "not". If so then I am wrong.
Stay safe; stay armed.

This once sentence blows YOUR credibility to hell. If the patrol cars passed you by, it's obviously because they were on other business besides traffic control. I know literally dozens of people in town that have been nailed by the OHP for their infamous speed traps.

One mph over the speed limit would NOT stand up in court.
If you want to hyperbolize, you might want to make your numbers a little more believeable.
I am pretty sure I understand your thoughts. However there is a time when any person needs to understand who has the upper hand at that time. The article says the guy got out of his car firing the gun.
Lt. Gary Lewis of the Highway Patrol said the man got out of his car with a high-powered semiautomatic weapon, and that he fired first at officers.
There is no way in this world that I can justify this.
I hope that's a compliment! 
Amen, Dan. Amen.
At least black people aren't afraid to suggest something like that when it comes to someone like Rodney King. Could things have been handled better by the side that should keep it's cool? A better outcome for both?
That's really an issue of concern to the good citizens of Ohio rather than to their busy-body neighbors.
Interesting. Usually the inane libertarians are the first ones to insist that our entire transportation infrastructure be privatized. "Toll booths Uber Alles!"
Actually, that's the post I was responding to when the thread got yanked. I was trying to tell whoever posted it that he was getting a bit too paranoid about the whole thing. I don't think about his post really leaned towards the "it was okay to shoot the cop" opinion though, IMHO.
And they probably would have thought that the guy was a bit daffy, and that society is better off by his thinning of his particular branch of the gene pool. Even if that does suck for his wife and kids.
On the pulled thread, since it was posted by a friend of the suspect, I merely gave my condolences. But this guy sounds like some piece of work, and I doubt that he and I agreed on very much other than that the federal government has extended its reach too far.
Why don't you hire Shirley MacLaine to do a seance and you can ask them. If you give her enough money she will probably give you the answer you are looking for.
Anyway all kidding aside, I highly doubt that the Founding Fathers, if alive today, would condone such a senseless act, JMO.
BTW, you were the first one to bring out the text book Libertarian defense of that the Founding Fathers would condone such an act.
Rule 23 in the Libertarian handbook,
When in trouble in losing an arguement bring up the Founding Fathers. Hey they are dead and can't speak for themselves. We(Libertarians) might as well do the talking.
There is a really good way to keep it cool. Show your driver's license to the cop. Be polite. If you have an issue with what the cop has determined, you get your day in court, and, from what I have seen in life, if you care enough to show up to contest the ticket, you've got a really good chance to get it thrown out. That is the rule of law. The rule of law is NOT, NOT, NOT served by driving away from a routine traffic stop because you think the states have no right to enforce traffic laws, the 10th Amendment be damned, and then precipitate a gunfight that leaves a cop dead. That is not the rule of law. That is anarchy, in its most perverted form, trying to wrap the Constitution around it shoulders. All that accomplished is that the Constitution get soiled in the attempt.
Oh, it's so nice to learn, after two years as an active poster here, commenting on the actions of other state governments here - JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES - that I'm only allowed to discuss things that happen in MY state.
JimRob, please start cancelling most Freepers' accounts right now! None of us appear to be worthy!
