Is this the same Bill Cooper who used to broadcast on short wave?

I may have heard his show occasionally several years ago, but lost track.

Can you supply some background information to refresh our memories?

Many have wanted to debunk Bill Cooper, but I think he was a brave man. Sorry he had to go out like this. Sorry he had to go out. Read Behold A Pale Horse, and it figures.

I hate to hear about things like this happening. Largely because one side or the other invariably gets some of the "facts" wrong, and the whole thing gets blown out of proportion.

Although I abhor heavy handed tactics by law enforcement, I also tend to not have lots of sympathy for those that die in an armed standoff when law enforcement is serving lawful arrest warrants. You got a problem with the warrant, that's what the legal system is for. Mr. Cooper had legal options available to him from the beginning. Since the thread stated he refused to pay taxes for several years, he's had an extend period of time to resolve this prior to this attempted apprehension.

I don't know any details about the man or his "cause", merely what has been posted in this thread.

Before passing judgement on the Sheriffs office, or government (local, state or federal), I'd prefer to see more solid facts. Although this is said to be what was told by the Sheriff's department, the wording is such that this also wasn't a press release, or in the Sheriff's departments words.

My thoughts go out to his family.

I have been listening to Bill for many many years. He was a true American hero. I did not agree with him on everything he said but he still had the right to say it. I think he thought this would be the way that he died. He just got together with his long lost daughter last year or the year before. I think he had sent his wife and 2 little girls out of the country for their safety. It is really a sad day for all patriots in this country. He spoke up when no one else would. He was a Vietnam vet and served the country that he loved deeply. MamaB

RIP Mr. Cooper.

[Mercuria]

Here, too.

No report yet on exactly what "local issue" they were serving a warrant on him for?

William Cooper is a GREAT AMERICAN And, if, this Republic is to survive, then, all your childrens' children, will know his name! We shall insure Republican Constitutional Government!
