Online rants, anti-government radicals fuel fear of U.S. cop killings (Guess who he blames?)

The celebrating began before the coroner could collect the bodies of Alyn Beck and Igor Soldo, the Las Vegas patrol officers ambushed and executed while eating at a pizzeria last month.

“The good news is, there are two less police in the world,” read an entry on the Facebook page for CopBlock.org.

The post was visible for less than a day, but it attracted at least 6,300 likes and comments by the time the page’s administrators removed it.

Jerad Miller — who along with his wife, Amanda, gunned down the Vegas police officers before dying during a shootout with police — was one of Cop Block’s 780,000-plus Facebook fans.

The decentralized advocacy group says it disavows violence while spreading a belief that “badges don’t grant extra rights.”

But the Millers, described by investigators as anti-government extremists, had a deadly animosity for authority.

“Bout time to start killing cops, eh?” Miller, 31, wrote in May when he shared a viral video of police brutality on Facebook. “Maybe if we can kill all these despotic goons they will turn on their masters and once again be public servants and we can end this madness.”

You guessed it: "...and an exploding right-wing movement are creating anxiety about attacks against police."

Last week the SPLC issued a report warning law enforcement about the increasingly hostile anti-government movement, which it estimates has grown from 150 groups in 2008 to nearly 1,100 last year.

Any article quoting the SPLC as a source has tipped its hand as Leftist. The SPLC is the Left's version of Stormfront.

So, one of 780,000 people that viewed that site committed a terrible crime. Let's indict ALL of them

Here's a question - what percentage of the Occupy crowd committed crimes?

I wish I could find the actual statistics, but I remember that in a time period (1-2 years?) MORE citizens were killed by no-knock SWAT attacks here in the US than were our soldiers killed by our enemies in the Middle East.
Somewhere around 5,000 vs. 4500.

Mebbie some hostility results?

I had a little fun with a liberal named Lesley who was practicing her creative writing on that article. She stopped responding...
