You show no signs of ability to think.

Seriously ...

I’m analyzing this incident objectively, and applying lessons learned to other similar situations.

You are displaying emotional incontinence.

Have a nice day.

our sheriff and others in neighboring communities stood together saying they flat refused to do this to law abiding citizens

Good for them. Aside from being morally correct and constitutionally correct, it's just smart. Armed citizens are not likely to approve of an attempt to forcibly disarm them.

Big Media will portray YOU as a violent white supremacist threat to "Our Democracy".

Not me. I posted my pronouns

Agreed, and that was part of their argument. Not to put their officers in harms way for something that will more likely than not become heated.

Those attempting to conflate the two are attempting to take their crusade into areas it doesn’t belong. It’s simple, violent felon evading warrants, Marshalls have a potential location, tragedy ensued in the execution of their duties. Period, end of story .

Ruby Ridge, Waco, Bryan Malinowski (& too many others to list) have entered the chat...
- ‘Violent felons’ of govt’s making: Check
- ‘Govt having *potential* location (when safety was damn near ensured on other day(s) & diff. local(s)): Check
- No knock RAID via SWAT so militarized State agents can play dress-up & w/ their new ‘toys’ (no pet spared): Check
- ‘Tragedy ensues’: Check

*lick lick*

To be fair, this guy probably was an actual scumbag criminal.

That’s not the point.

The point is that an armed individual, determined not to be taken alive, exacted a high price for his death.

Better. I just made up something random. I worked for a university. Our department made pronouns mandatory in our email signature. That lasted less than a week and happened before anyone could address me as “Your Lordship”.

This has absolutely 0 to do with what you are attempting to gaslight out here. So, now we know you like when lawful executions of arrests are made that officers are executed. Now that we’ve cleared that up. When was your parole date parolee?

This has NOTHING to do with any instances of illegality performed in the past of Government malfeasance and you know it. There are no lessons to learn here other than a felon executed four officers who were LEGALLY carrying out their duties.

Does anyone have more information on what his initial felony was for? The one that got him reclassified as a “prohibited person” that sparked this whole shoot out?

The only thing I’ve been able to find so far is that he was a felon in possession of a firearm for a previous felony... of owning a firearm.

Gotta be something in there to pass muster in my mind as that whole 2A thing kicks in pretty hard for me.

As with the Airport Admin in Arkansas and the homebuilder in New York were both “felons” in the eyes of the FedGov because they exercised their 2A Rights in ways our Federal overlords didn’t like.

Granted... this guy looks the type to have a lengthly criminal history... But what is it?

“Just following orders” hasn’t been a valid defense since Nuremberg... Try again.

There are no lessons to learn here

Congratulations! You just made the stupidest comment of the day ... and it's not even 1200 here yet.

If you wish to wallow in willful ignorance, that's your prerogative ... don't expect anyone to have any respect for you when you do.

Oh, another supporting a violent felon. Wow, we don’t have to find them, they just show themselves.

I have no sympathy for this cop killer whatsoever. I’m just flummoxed that he was able to invoke so much carnage before he was taken.

According to this article, he did prison time for Breaking and Entering, and had been arrested for a handful of charges related to marijuana possession.

Just stop, we really get it. You support violent felons who execute lawful police actions. Anything for the crusade eh comrade? As long as I can conflate this situation and gaslight it towards gun control. Anything for the crusade.
