Cooper was a big-time anti-gov patriot radical from mid '90s. He had a large following on radio and published a number of books. My familiarity is only nominal, but I recall his reputation as being fringe fringe, but with a significant following.

I don't care what his politics were.

If he used a gun in any situation except in self defense or to foil a criminal act, then I'm glad they're mopping his insides off of some sidewalk.

fringe fringe

And beyond.

The Cooper you're talking about was a vocal critic of the new world order. It would be scary if they're starting to track down and shoot people like that. But the article said the man shot was a sheriff's deputy, so I don't think so.
