You gotta know that about a skrillion people know about this . He can't go anywhere and use his name without this coming up . The feds may protect his freedom but they can't give him his life . This will follow him for the rest of his days .
Another question . Was he old enough to have been on a grassy knoll in Dallas about ......probably not . Just a thought .

Paratrooper: If he had been old enough he would have had to have been aiming for Oswald to hit Kennedy.

One thing that is almost NEVER mentioned by the press is that this was over a $5 tax! The government sent in dozens of armed men, flew helicopters over the home and ended up killing two innocent people and injuring several others over less money then most of us have in our pockets right now! The shotgun wasn't a "sawed off shotgun". The barrel was 18+ inches . . . it was a mere 3/4" too short overall length (if I recall correctly). This isn't a $200 tax 'short barreled shotgun', it's a $5 tax 'any
other weapon'.

If they had sent ONE person to collect the tax, it would have cost more in gasoline then the tax was worth! Yet, they are killing to take human lives . . . for what?

Well. This really is no surprise to me.

it follows suit that in order to recruit new bodies in to the ranks, you must purvey the message that you will be protected. This is a reaffirmation of that premise.

Has anyone on the gov side of this ever been held accountable? You already know the answer to this. As do I.

Mr. Horiuchi also realizes that he WILL be called into action again to do this same thing, simply because... that's what he does, and agrees to do.

"Soldiers" just following orders is the worst, cheapest lie around. A moral, and personal conviction has to be part of the equation.
Without it, we're all in deep sh!t!!
Perhaps there is a lesson to be learned from this though...

If we, you and I, are ever in the same situations, where will our minds go? Will we say, "To hell with 'em, they're just a bunch of murdering pigs, and deserve to drop for what they've done". That's an individual choice. I've already made mine, but won't elaborate here, at this time.
As for whether Vicki Weaver deserved to die, no she didn't. She didn't commit the alledged crimes. Yet she was executed for something. As was her son.
This was a test that we Americans have failed, horribly! The test moved on south to Texas, and we failed there as well.

The ATF was there for the arrest of Randy Weaver, after placing him under survellance for 18 months. I wonder how much that exercise cost the taxpayers? NOT a very good tradeoff was it? Why the hell don't the beancounters raid the ATF? A surefire way to place them under some for of control...

Best Regards,

Get control of all means of publicity, and thereby get the peoples' mind off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books and plays, and other trivialities.
Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance."

(LawDog, thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not interested in becoming a pen pal with this fellow.)

One other thing. Years ago I was lucky enough to discuss this issue with one of the jurors from Weaver's trial in Idaho. The man was in his mid-60's, and far from a 'radical'. He said an older woman on the jury thought that Lon should have been taken out and shot for what he did. It sounded to me that the fed's had no credibility left with that jury.

Ironically, the thing that saddens me most about such cases is not the acts themselves. I accept that people aren't perfect, they make mistakes, and we sometimes have bad people in charge of government affairs. What saddens me the most is that they can't bring themselves to accept justice in the end. Even after retrospection and judicial review, they fight to avoid justice and truth. And, thereby do far more damage to their reputation with the citizens of our country.
