I remember Ruby Ridge and the controversy surrounding it. There was a lot of debate concerning exactly what happened. The range of interpretations that I saw was anything from a mistake under fire to actions that should have ended up with the trial and conviction of the agent involved. However, during the time, I've also seen multiple times that cops busted down doors looking for drugs, killing unarmed people. It certainly didn't get the news coverage that Ruby Ridge did. I know in Houston, at least, the cops never being convicted. I remember statistics being gathered at the time, but not the details of the statistics, I remember the standoff with the Branch Davidians, and how the government was chastised for being too hard on terrorists who were planning an action that would kill as many people as killed on 9-11.*** Second guessing the governments actions was fine; it was the anger at even trying to stop these terrorists that was amazing. Private militias, talking about actively opposing the government with illegal arms were defended as true loyal Americans. Indeed, as I mentioned before, I know a member of one of those militias who stated "its too bad about the babies, but the agents had it coming" after Oklahoma City. The hostility I felt, not just from this man, against going after terrorists like this amazed me at the time. I don't doubt that you can pull out some quotes from leftists who said the same thing, but this is the sorta thing I heard at work from just regular folks. Dan M. *** Whether there plan would actually kill that many people, I don't know. But, scores of gunmen with automatic weapons attacking a crowd coming out of a packed football game does have the potential at least for thousands of deaths. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
