Given the government’s aggressive tactics in the last decade or so, I’ll give this guy the benefit of the doubt until I learn more about what is going on.
In July 2004, Burgert pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess illegal firearms, possession of a machine gun and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Federal prosecutors argued he led a group that amassed machine guns and explosives. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Burgert had been arrested in February 2002 after a standoff and a chase. He had a machine gun when he was arrested, and authorities found thousands of rounds of ammunition and homemade explosives while searching sites associated with Project 7.
At the time, officials in Flathead County in far northwestern Montana said that Project 7 also conspired to kill local police officers, judges and county prosecutors.
NBC station KCFW reported that authorities in 2002 discovered a hit list of government officials who Burgert hoped to assassinate.
From what I’ve seen, the guy sounds like a nut and I’m more inclined to believe the feds are attaching him to a militia group.
“Armed and extremely dangerous”
May that be said of all of us.
The LEs on various levels are kicking in doors, openly assassinating a Marine here in Tucson, harassing and humiliating a guy in Stockton, many other examples. I no longer assume that LE is in the right.
If he can just make it to Ruby Ridge...
Here they have a guy who is known to be very mentally ill and they just turned him loose ~ to do what?
The neighbors aren't afraid, but the cops are, and rightly so. Reminds me a lot of Bucky Phillips in New York ~ he managed to tie down a considerable part of both the New York and Pennsylvania State Police.
There's a judge out there who should be even more afraid ~ he should be FIRED!
I have stopped believing anything out of the government and law enforcement.
And I am one of those nice people who work hard, pay taxes, school my children, bake for church sales.
If I am unbelieving this country is in trouble.
