Robinson was one of 1,250 fugitives busted in Georgia last week as part of Operation Falcon, a nationwide sweep to arrest some of the most violent offenders. Of the arrests in Georgia, 724 came in metro Atlanta; two were suspected killers, authorities said.
Multiple sweeps like these have already taken place in other cities in recent weeks as part of Falcon. More are coming to undisclosed regions of the country. Authorities would not release further details about the nationwide hunt due to the ongoing nature of the operation.
"Our primary focus when we do this operation are violent offenders, sex offenders and gang members," says Keith Booker, the commander of the U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force leading this sweep that included 115 federal, state and local agencies.

While I despise criminals of this variety, it is quite comforting to know that LEOs are getting practiced up for mass round ups eh? This disturbs me- reminds me of history class and learning about how Hitler rounded up 1000's en masse. I hope we don't let our power become perverted.
What hope do we have to stick it out if they take all of us gun owners who won't give up our rights in just one night? Am I just being paranoid?
