My new favorite line from DrLiberty: When will fools like you ever pick up a book?

I wonder if the neighbor who alleges Cooper was threatening with a gun is the same neighbor who alleged the guy in California was telling people he was a federal marshall, and the next thing he knew, he was shot dead and his house was burned to a crisp.

It's highly unlikely it was the same person.

(They probably ran into each other around the office, though.)

I was just thinking that in the last few months I know of 4 people who have died while the police are trying to serve some type of warrant. The 2 guys at the campground, Beck, now this.

All of them known to police to be armed. All of them had a problem with the way the government works. All of them out spoken about government abuse and unlawfull practices, All of them are now dead. All of them killed on their own property.

This is just the 4 I know about. There is something very wrong here.

uh, prodigal , that man in calif who was shot and killed took out a sheriffs deputy, and continued to fire upon police and firefighters as they tried to extinguish the fire that it is believed he set. Decisions have consequences, and bad decisions often have unfortunate and rather permanent consequences. I often don't agree with our government, or the things it does, but that does not give me the right EVEN IF I AM RIGHT to bring down a firefight in a town and wound and kill cops. If you disagree, fine, speak and be heard. Killing public servants does nothing for the cause of personal liberty, except portraying all its adherents as screwball loonies who will resort to violence on the thinnest of pretexts. BTW, I am a cop and if someone pulls a gun on me, the last thing on my mind is a persons beliefs, race, gender or politics.What I see is THE GUN. This person chose to settle his differences with violence, and officers acting in self defense(as is their right by both the constitution and common law)chose to continue breathing. Mr Coopers death was the direct result of a poor decision making process, and nothing else. Not "jackbooted thugs" , just cops who wanted to go home at the end of the day and hug their wives and children. Im sure mr. cooper wanted to do the same, but his actions left police no other options.

Slainte,
