Yep, and that whacko killer was an FBI agent who ended up getting promoted.
Like I implied in an earlier post, this country needs a lot more Garry Watsons, though preferably with better target selection.

Garry was a troubled person that came off the night shift and 'lost it'.
Yes, I agree he could have planned a lot better.

Too bad you are not "man" enough to fill those shoes.
Hard to tell from the article if this was an existing easement, or something new. Of course if new, then eminent domain applies. From the article:
Residents say officials grew dissatisfied with their existing easement, and announced they were going to excavate a new sewer line across the landowner's property.
My line would be crossed if the city 'took' an easement without reasonable compensation. ---- I would go after the officials responsible, not the workingmen.

In post #81 above, You replied.
"You got that right. Our [governments are] in the midst of pushing ~way~ to far, imho."
Again, we seem to be in agreement that the government at all levels is assuming much more authority over our lives and property that is considered reasonable by ordinary men.
With that in Mind, I want to ask you the same questions again.
Be assured that the questions are not intended as an attack on your integrity but rather are to satisfy my curiosity about what a reasonable man such as yourself would consider justification for becoming involved in an insurrection or revolution.
Do we have to have some tribunal meet to declare that the government is acting in a tyrannical manner?
No
Just where is the line that must be crossed before good men are allowed to act?
You ever read "Unintended Consequenses" by John Ross? Good example of 'my line'. -- A clear effort by our governments to deprive us of any of our fundamental individual rights would involve me in an insurrection or revolution.
Well, I presume you're a girl (liberal fat chick?) but you will certainly never find out if I'm "man enough" because I don't associate with mice. Regardless, I hope I am never in a position like Watson where I am pushed to the limit by oppressive and tyrannical government.
Have a nice life and don't get wet,

--A clear effort by our governments to deprive us of any of our fundamental individual rights would involve me in an insurrection or revolution.--
Some don't understand 'being involved in an insurrection or revolution' and 'losing it and blowing away a few local civil servants.'
--Regardless, I hope I am never in a position like Watson where I am pushed to the limit by oppressive and tyrannical government.--
Come on. The entire town is what, 400 people?
Did you mean to make a reply?
You say you wish there were more like the subject guy. Well, step up and put your gun where your mouth is. When they arrest you, just give your handle here and we will all know that you are a man of action.
-Well, I presume you're a girl (liberal fat chick?) --
Not the first time you were wrong and I doubt your last.
You're a liar.
I apologize for thinking that you thought that more people should have the guts of Watson. You said that these things need to happen more often. From that I inferred that you were one of the 'many, many'.
"Sadly, citizen responses like Watson's need to happen more often, only it should be the scumbag politicians who are held accountable for their greed and tyranny, not their minions. Watson did what many, many people only wish they had the guts to do."
Not yet, but, I will get around to it soon.
Good example of 'my line'. -- A clear effort by our governments to deprive us of any of our fundamental individual rights would involve me in an insurrection or revolution.
Thank you very much for that very frank answer.
You might want to think about your last answer. Did you really mean to include my rights? Again in an effort to satisfy my curiosity, is this thing about rights just for you to decide. Will you leave me on my own to stand up to tyrants, or is it to be a community affair?
Who decides just when the shooting starts?

--You're a liar.--
BTW, as a non-newbie, you should know that it is against rules to call one a liar here. You may refute the statement but personal insults, particularly the one you used are not. Besides, it usually detracts from the credibility of the one that resorts to such tactics.
If I get caught with a gun in my car in our parking lot and I not only lose my job, but I lose my access to any future jobs as soon as they ask why I left my previous job. As of now, they don't do random vehicle searches of cars coming onto company property. But if you forget and leave one in your briefcase as you go through the metal detector ....
I think that if the parking lot is open to the general public, then the employer has a harder case to make. OTOH, he is your boss! If you don't like his policies, work to convince him otherwise or go find another job.
Like shooting maintenance men working on a sewer? A sewer that falls directly into "public use" covered by the Constitution that you "libertarians" pretend to uphold?
Most of us also agree that we can spread our views from behind a computer or a piece of paper in order to try to convince other fools to do the right thing.
Trying to convince others to become the next Drega or Watson isn't the right thing. In fact, it's one of the reasons that we have a Second Amendment in the first place. If violent wacked out freaks think they are going to bully their way into establishing their own warped view of reality, the rest of us have a right to defend ourselves.
So will you my boy. -- Very soon.
I'm not your boy. And unlike Suprynowicz and his ilk, I know that God exists, and that I ain't him.
