The pirate could have paid them off with a few pieces of eight, but only if
his hook was registered with local authorities.  Probably easier to catch -
the pegleg slows him down.

Who knows about the parrot, however, as the parrot could be an illegal
immigrant.

What gets me even more is the quote "University Police Chief Jimmy
Williamson said Ransom was released as soon as he was found to have
violated no laws."

I'm sorry, but I missed the part where they're (be it ATF or the police)
supposed to go after someone WITHOUT believing a law has been violated???

Didn't prevent him from being detained with a knee on his neck - that
looks uncomfortable! And he was like that long enough for someone to
find and ready a camera to take the picture.

He was stopped and roughed up on suspicion of doing something unusual,
which apparently is a crime these days. I have zero problem with
jumping both feet on people who actually do something wrong, but all
the action taken to supposedly "prevent crime" makes me nervous.

I hope your are not one of the people who also say that the feds should have
stopped the 9/11 hijackers cuz they were suspicious (but did not yet break
any laws).  That would be a case of having your cake and eating it, too.

If someone is lurking around looking suspicious, ANY AND ALL law enforcement
officials should be doing something.  The last time I saw someone with thier
face covered in public, he popped open a cash register and broke for the
door with a wad of money.

I was not there, I didn't even read the article.   I am saying that the
officials are trained to react to situations and this was one of them.

Law enforcement officers are also trained to find out wtf is going on in
the community around them. DECENT law enforcement officers would have
asked their event coordinator about any other events happening on campus
at the same time as their own shin dig.

BZZZZTTTT!!!  Wrong answer!

They're fully within their rights to watch, follow, etc., someone
looking "suspicious".  But no way in hell do they have the right to do
anything else until they've broken the law (or at the very least have
'reasonable grounds').

If dressing funny and acting goofy on a college campus was 'unusual' or
'suspicious', I don't know of a campus around that would have anyone left.

Haven't you heard all of those stories about how they've seen someone
looking suspicious, and then the follow them, and at the POINT WHERE
THEY COMMIT AN ILLEGAL ACT, they are arrested?

This is getting WAY beyond crazy (and I'm considered a very conservative
Republican).

I agree, the 9/11 hijackers committed no crime, up to the point where
they attacked the people on the plane.  AND AT THAT POINT, passengers
(and or airline personnel) should have had their own weapons available
to fight back.

If the government had proof of the conspiracy, then yes, they could have
done something.  LACKING THAT, they did nothing up to the point where
they pulled out and used (including threatened use) of their weapons.

Conspiracy charges make me nervous. No one was harmed; and I'd wager
90% of the people who "conspire" to commit a crime never do.

Certainly in high school (several decades ago) a couple of friends and
I talked about who we'd like to see dead. Were we going to do anything
about it? Of course not. But today, we'd be in held without bail just
like some local boys right now - none of whom actually posess weapons.

As Robert Heinlein (who I consider my spiritual father) once wrote, "An
armed society is a polite society."

The details are hazy, but I recall an incident in Australia a few years
ago where a looney wandered around a park for over an hour shooting
people at random. There were over a dozen casualties; it took so long
to stop him because the has to send for armed officers to deal with it.

My thought at the time was that in an armed society this would have
been a third page story rather than a mass-murder catastrophy.

I wonder if any of these JBGTs remember the golden rule.

I suppose that we shoud all treat these agents as armed thugs whenever we
deal with them. In a situation like this, I'd grab the nearest phone, and
dial 9-1-1 and tell the response center that it was a situation involving
armed assailants.

Alas, these days it seems that they are trained to OVERreact to situations.

Law enforcement reaction to a situation should be proportional to the actual
threat. To engage in a high speed chase for someone going 10mph over the
speed limit is reckless. To treat someone dressed "unusual" on a college
campus as a thug (refer to the picture of the JBGT kneeling on the kids
neck, and the story about agents with guns drawn) is assult and battery, and
a violation of the kids civil rights. I hope there's lots of lawyers on
campus.

Absolutely disgusting. And something that will continue until these thugs
are arrested, tried, and jailed for manslaughter. If there were no warrant
issued, then I'd elevate the charge to first degree murder, which is what
the police would charge a civilian with in the case of a felony that results
in a death.

Government, especially police, MUST be subject to the same laws and
punishments as the rest of society. No on is above the law because of their
badge or office. Not a cop on the beat, a SWAT team member, or the
president.

After thinking abut this a bit longer, it's right on par with Waco and Ruby
Ridge. Murder charges definitely need to be filed here.

No police officer should have to think twice before shooting an armed
suspect that is a threat to them or others. But they MUST think twice before
shooting any one else, or suffer the same fate as a civilian that
accidentally shoots a cop.

Would you watch a documentary on the "Protocols"?  Or one that
denied the Holocaust?

Of course not, because you would know that the underlying reason
for such a thing is the driving hate behind the producer, and there
would be no merit in watching it - nor would you want to fatten the
wallet of its creator.

That's the thing, Michael Moore thinks he's a documentarian but in
reality he's a film maker.  And of course a film makers primary motive
is the wallet first, entertainment second.  Nothing new here.

In all honesty I've only seen Roger and Me and not really too thrilled
about it either.  I've see bits of Bowling for Columbine and was
somewhat entertained of the butchering of clips of Heston but that was
only because it was all so obvious what Moore was attempting to do(and
failed).  I'll eventually get around to seeing all of Bowling and will
also see Fahrenheit 451 but in no uncertain terms will I accept any of
these flicks as facts, only topical entertainment at best.  Hollyweird
is, well, Hollyweird for a reason :)

Fahrenheit 451 is a 1966 movie adaptation of Ray Bradbury's classic SciFi
book. Methinks you mean Fahrenheit 9/11.

Of course even I have trouble with movie titles with numbers in them. WHen
Apollo 13 came out, I hadn't even seen Apollo 1-12 yet :-)

Funny you should say that. Just recently I did some research on the
"Protocols" (of Zion, I presume you mean). I learned a lot; I'd always
assumed there was much doubt as to their authenticity, but discovered
how thoroughly they had been discredited and how viciously the
falsehoods had been used to promote an agenda.

When there's that much buzz about something, you owe it to yourself to
check it out and make up your own mind. And often, the first place to
start is the propogandists material.

Again, I DON'T know that - I've been told that. And, silly me, I don't
always believe what I've been told. You never know, there might be some
truth there - if not, at least you understand the enemy better.

It's a University campus...when is there NOT someone lurking around
looking suspicious (or silly)?  I went to UGA, trust me on this one.

Seems the A-team was performing the following training class. This part is
very funny.
"Core materials frequently contain, but are not limited to, characteristics
of armed gunmen"

I guess the book has pictures of black clothed youth with red bandannas in
that section.

BTW, Hobby Lobby has bandannas for only 63 cents this week.

I don't see anything in there about APCP purchase, storage, and use.

The WOOSH folks did get the BATFE to do a presentation for them once, but
the BATFE refused to allow it to be taped for use by those who couldn't
attend.

I know there are regulations regarding taping phone conversations, but what
are the regs regarding taping events in your own home or place of work?

I've done a good bit of training for and by some large companies -
generally the rule is that they not be taped. It's not a "regulation",
it's the choice of the presenter.

First, because the content is a salable commodity, which probably
doesn't matter to the BATFE.

Second, because what you say on tape can haunt you ad infinitum.
Generally, I was allowed to noodle around and ad lib quite a bit in
presentations; on the one or two sessions that were taped, I had to
adhere precisely to a prepared and approved script.

And that was just corporate stuff. Imagine how much harder to pin down
the goon squad must be!

It is against state law in Georgia to wear a mask on an undesignated
holiday.  He could have been charged, he is lucky they weren't in the mood.

I didn't know it was up to federal agents to enforce STATE laws.

He also could have been charged with jaywalking, or resisting arrest,
or any one of dozens of other "convenience" charges which give cops
carte blanche authority to arrest and imprison anyone, anytime they
feel like it.

The Patriot Act had nothing to do with it.

ATF agents have been acting like mindless goons for years, long before this event took place.

They are mall-security-grade idiots with badges - Diane Feinstein's own personal Gestapo.

1,

It's weird, but every conversation and personal meeting I've ever had
with the ATF has been professional and cordial. I don't know, but I'm
wondering if the east coast, city ATF agents are part of a different
culture than the other ATF.

Out here, one was a nitwit, one was ok, two were thugs, and two made up
rules as they went along.

I'll take your word for it. I guess it's just another of those things to
add to, "that's what I like about the south" list; give me a G for God
and Georgia. Eee haaa.
