He believed that the U.S. Constitution is the governing force of the people

Is this to imply that he's misguided because of this belief??

BTW- as the anti-capital punishment crowd ever shown up for a conservative (pro-guns, pro-life, pro-capitalism) on death row?

then turn a high-powered Czechoslovakian military assault weapon on them

So now Matthew's handgun, a .32, has been elevated to a high-powered assault weapon? The newshogs are in overdrive on this one. They are gonna twist this story like crazy, and that sucks. I hate having to perform media analysis over a sad event like this - but I also see what is coming at us from the damn newshogs...

Highway Patrol Lt. Gary Lewis said investigators were trying to determine whether Matthews’ actions stemmed from any connection to the Ohio Militia, a radical movement. Most of its members believe the government and police have no constitutional authority over them.

“Investigators are attempting to develop information which could substantiate that,” Lewis said.

Do the cops investigate the political beliefs of all dead perps? Or do they think there is some sort of conspiracy here beyond the fact that a perp ran, then decided to shoot it out?

The article is an attempt to make some anti-gun, anti-conservative hay by taking the actions of a now-dead crook, and smearing them on someone still alive. The political life of your average dead street punk doesn't merit this much attention and speculation.

Excuse me all to h*ll but we have another "Magic Bullet"

Can someone explain how the following can happen;

"Stark County Deputy Coroner Dr. P.S.S. Murthy said Taylor died from one gunshot wound. A bullet from Matthews’ gun entered Taylor’s left buttock and perforated his aorta, the artery that pumps blood from the heart, causing massive blood loss and death, he said.

This sounds like another "Carl Drega" type story. A guy who is abused by wrongful government finally snaps.

Read "The Ballad of Carl Drega" by Vin Suprinowicz http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0967025923

I will be interested to see what his interaction with government was over the prior few months.
