As did Waco, because we as citizens allowed them to. Because we foolishly, chose to accept the authority of some federal officers who we later found out were terribly wrong.

Randy Weaver and his folks stood alone.
The people at Waco stood alone as well.

A government agency perpetrated a terrible crime both times. And it didn’t have to happen, but the might of the government came down upon those people.

We, as a nation, chose NOT to interfere. We, as a nation, were wrong to choose that path. It matters not whether it was indifference, fear of reprisal, or just plain ignorance, the fact is that we allowed these injustices to happen (and, while that is a topic for another day, we allowed those who perpetrated these tragedies to remain free….and alive).

As an aside, not only did we as patriots fail these people, but the Press did so as well….

It looks like that sort of injustice may happen again.

If WE LET IT HAPPEN. If we stand by and allow the Feds to overreach their powers again.

Will we?

What would happen if each Federal Agent were shadowed by 3 or more concerned citizens? Armed Concerned Citizens? If every vehicle entering the “closed area” were followed by another, privately owned vehicle….again, full of “”Concerned Citizens” …..

What happens when they try to stop people from coming into the area that they have chosen to close off for no real reason and they are ignored? They can’t arrest 1500 people….They can, but they won’t….

Remember, the Feds chose not to push this and backed off 2 years ago.

Now if I can only find a way (and the time) to get there……

HatTip: Outrider

ETA: It is accelerating .

Pointing firearms at people not breaking the law? Arresting them for being on a public highway?

Where are the other authorities? Afraid of the feds? THIS IS THE Bureau of Land Management for Christ’s sake. Just because the BLM (and who says that they have any authority?) says some land is off limits, it gives them a reason for all this?

Question for the Geeks:

Since modern aircraft are apparently connected full time/real time by satellite and other methods of data communication, why aren’t the Flight Data Recorders given a channel to transmit data ?

I mean, the actual amount of data is really fairly small. A few Kilobytes a second for flight instrumentation and engine data, a few more for cockpit voice and radio traffic.

Really a fairly small amount f data, considering the connections most modern aricraft have today to send and receive data from their systems.

SO why? Why don’t we have a portion of one of these channels set aside? Why don’t we have the last moments of cockpit and voice data and radio traffic stored on someone’s server where we could get to it to see what the pilots were seeing and hearinf and saying to each other?

Sure, these systems could be disabled, and the Flight Data Recorders (the “Black Boxes” which are actually bright orange) would be the only backup. But if they were disabled, we’d know that something was up….

‘Cause i need some for each range bag/box, and a few for my preps and some for general first aid kit and then there is the ones for gifts for like minded friends and then…..

Simple invention for penetrating wounds gets FDA approval

Seriously, I’d buy a bunch if they were available today.

But still, being held captive because someone decided that you are too old to take care of yourself?

Bet it happens here is the US soon as well.

Elderly couple demand hospital end “Illegal Detention”

So this couple in British Columbia (Victoria)goes to the hospital (clinic at the hospital) for some medical care….

The doctors and hospital staff decide that they are unable to take care of themselves (being 84 years old and all)….

They prevent the couple (both of them) from leaving…Even to putting Mr Allen in (essentially) a straitjacket and cabling him to the bed.
They freeze access to their bank accounts. Their assets are under control of a Public Guardian.

They aren’t allowed to determine when and how they get care….they couple would prefer to have a nurse visit them weekly AT THEIR ASSISTED LIVING HOME. They wish to be as independent as possible in their old age.

It is currently in the court system.

Soon, it’ll happen here.
Bet on it. 

There is a LOT of money to be made in situations like this.

And, strangely, no real description of them.

No hair color..

No height…

No weight….

No race….

Just yoots.

Who killed a man.

Yet no description.

Interesting. Seems to be a LOT of that going around.

Yes, we can read between the lines when there is no mention of race. But one wonders…..Why?

Things like this help no decent citizen find equality….And they don’t help quench racism. Not that the perpetrators care. We, o course, are supposed to not notice, but we all do.

Is that anyone needs this sort of law.

The fact is that anyone that disciplines a schoolkid for the things protected in this law demonstrates that they shouldn’t be in any position of responsibility over children. If they have so little sense, then they really shouldn’t even be AROUND children, much less teaching them.

“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who
comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to
us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it
is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or
birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming
in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no
divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but
something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one
flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and
that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty
and that is a loyalty to the American people.”

Theodore Roosevelt – 1907

Of course we don’t know who they voted for…..

I mean, it could be that these suspiciously alike voters (and a bunch of dead ones) could have all voted Republican….right? Nearly 200,000 of them in North Carolina alone… How much more do we need to see here? How much more fraud before we find out that our President and Senators have not the votes to make us believe that they won beyond the “margin of cheat”? How much more before we no longer believe that our government isn’t a giant fraud perpetuated on the American people?

I know, if you are a liberal, you are saying “it couldn’t happen”

Believe that? Really?

Wanna buy some great farmland in Florida? How about some beachfront property in Arizona?

I got a cousin has a bridge for sale….

ETA: How many of these people will be prosecuted for Voter Fraud?

As pointed out HERE, 7.1 million (supposedly) people signed up for Obamacare…

But the plan was SUPPOSED to insure the (mythical) 48 Million that were uninsured.

Not working out that well, is it?  And on wonders just how many of those 7.1 million were those who had no choice because the new Obamacare regulations caused them to be uninsured from their old plan…..How many people of that 7.1 million were newly insured? People who didn’t have any insurance before?

BTW, link is SFW, but the main page is definitely *NOT* SFW. 

Yeah, if things were really the way they should be then THIS is what would actually happen.

Sadly, Officer Friendly doesn’t exist anymore.

Instead, we have gestapo like tactics, and the Police and Border Patrol are not respected. Instead, they have made themselves the enemy of the lawful citizen…

If you don’t read Resistor in the Rockies daily, you should.
