Now we'll see what the ATF really has on the man. Charlie was concerned about being at rick while in custody. I believe the reverse was true.

[toddst]

Uh, that's "at risk." Not enough coffee yet.

[toddst]

What the hell does that mean? You think they have some secret charges to spring on him at the last minute? If they have something of substance to charge him with let them do it.

I'm saying we haven't seen everything yet - at least in terms of what the ATF charges actually are. Let's see where it goes. Are they going to trial on charges or do they negotiate something? Now we'll find out.

[toddst]

The plan was to depopulate(move al the people out) this entire area which included several counties in each state and make a gigantic United Nations Biosphere Reserve.

Thanks for the information.

[toddst]

You said: "Now we'll see what the ATF really has on the man." That implies that you suspect that the ATF has someting on him that tey haven't told him or the public.

I suspect the ATF will CLAIM more than we have seen. If not, they will try to negotiate a plea to lesser charges. They have nothing, IMHO. Now we'll see because the ATF has to fish or cut bait with what they have.

Just hope he isn't charged with secret evidence under the Patriot Act, which is entirely possible (though unlikely against someone like this at this early date in our slide to Empire).

[AppyPappy]

he "was going to be the target of an assassination attempt by federal agents,"

Let me guess. His television receives radio waves from satellites and it told him this.

Nothing scarier than a well-armed nut. I lived down the road from one and one day, he just started shooting. He eventually walked out of the woods and started shooting at some deputies and they took him out. His mother blamed the deputies for not "trying to wound him". And he swore he was going to be assassinated by the FBI.

The February indictment charges Puckett with being a felon illegally owning guns, pipe bombs and almost 35,000 rounds of ammunition. A revised indictment later added a count saying Puckett intimidated a witness.

Something to watch for. However, in the larger picture Charlie Puckett is a little fish. I believe the ATF now has a problem. They overstepped their bounds in this case and behaved as though Charlie might (they hoped) "resist arrest." A dead Charlie, shot under such conditions, would have been the ATF's best scenario. Now they have to go to court with phoney charges. More blundering.

It's time to do away with this rogue agency, IMHO.

[AppyPappy]

It says "pipe bombs".

[toddst]

Nothing scarier than a well-armed nut. . . ."

OK, there are some scary "nuts" out there. However, what I'm much more concerned about is a well-armed ATF with a license to attack "scary well-armed nuts." Your thoughts on this point?

[zog]

which "it" says that? That he had actual constructed devices and not just plumbing stuff laying around?
