My suggestion: Have something just as powerful in your own home, teach everyone you know or love how to use it, pass it down to your children and never let anyone take it away from you.

FBI agents involved in the mistaken traffic stop and shooting of an unarmed Pasadena man March 1 had a photograph of the actual bank robbery suspect they sought and earlier that day had discovered that an air pistol, not a handgun, apparently was used in the holdup, court records show.
Those details, contained in an FBI affidavit in the bank robbery case, could play a central role in the investigations into the shooting of Joseph C. Schultz, as authorities examine how much federal agents knew about the real suspect they were tracking and how dangerous they thought he was.

Do not worry. FBI Director Mueller and Attorney General AShcroft will protect the FBI agents no matter what they do including murder and maiming innocents. Just ask Lon Horiuchi from Ruby Ridge.
The Nuremburg defense still works for FBI agents carrying out unlawful orders or acting unlawfully on their own.
Civil Rights and Constitutional guarantees for the peasant citizens mean nothing to Mueller and Ashcroft and Freeh and Reno. Just ask Richard Jewel. Only the elites,Congressmen on intell committees like Gary Condit, FBI and DOJ agents and officials have rights any more.
Because of their negligence, arrogance and corruption, the FBI and DOJ under HW Bush, Clinton and now GW Bush created and caused the problems that they now say can only be solved if we give up more of our freedoms.
If the FBI offices should get attacked and wiped out by ME terrorists, will innocent Americans be better or worse off?? Which is better, being "protected" by a corrupt FBI or not having an FBI at all anymore to squander your tax dollars and take away your freedoms?
I predict that the FBI will become the gestapo for the AntiChrist, the enforcers for world government paid for by global taxes someday if they continue on their present course.
Another FBI agent, Christopher Braga, shot Schultz that day.Remember that name forever. If he comes to your town, make sure word gets out.
be cautious with with your words... people with other ideas are watching...
He is mentioned at the end of the article.
Like this?
Typical FBI.
The shooting was a deliberate,premediated , conscious act by the agent.
The same thing happened at Waco and Ruby Ridge.
The fbi is now, at this point in time infested with sadistic thrill killers who are allowed to kill with impunity.
That said, the air gun thing is a total red herring, they were right to consider the real perp, armed and dangerous. The perp had 24,000 to go shopping for a real gun.
He's probably black. What else can I think if the FEEBS aren't releasing a mug shot???
I thought we were led to believe it was a same day bank robbery mistaken identity incident. I've gone over this article twice. Thanks in advance.
but of course, who else would cause free citizens to feel cautious about speaking freely? /sarcasm
This story just gets worse and worse.
The agent involved here needs a lengthy prison stay and a monstrously large civil penalty levied against him here.
Having said that, I'm sure the FBI will promote him. They have a history of doing that in these cases.

BLOTTENBERGER MICHAEL J, PFC ARMY, BALTIMORE, MD. , 01MAR70 S.VIETNAM 27JUL49, HOSTILE,KILLED
I wouldn't be surprised if Braga knew right away this wasn't the guy they were after, but still couldn't put down the tough guy attitude. He was pumped, primed, and ready for action. Wasn't about to let the facts get in the way of having some fun pushing people around.
Dunno if someone else has caught this yet. If so, sorry -- if not, here it is. Michael J. Blottenberger, Jr. is from Maryland and is 32 years old.
A Michael J. Blottenberger, make that PFC Michael J. Blottenberger, died in 1970 in Vietnam.

One day enough will be enough, and the armed federal goons that run our society will be put down and a Constitutional government restored. And I guarantee it isn't going to come about with letters to Congressmen. It's going to come about with the muzzle of a rifle and shotgun.

I sure don't think that Mike Blottenberger would like it if he knew his son grew up to be a criminal, or that the FBI used him as an excuse to shoot somebody else. There's just one tragedy after another ....
Now to see who was fighting in Binh Dinh in March '70.

Now, we have no proof that he is the father of this bank robber. But the numbers align nicely and it is an unusual name.

Have you ever read these "Let's hate the cop threads" carefully?
It's one thing to be upset with a specific incident. But many of the people who hang out in these constant threads, day after day, (the activists) have strange brain problems. They're not upset with specific incidents. They're upset with the entire concept of law enforcement.
Nothing good can come from assoicating yourself with these people.
These libertarian nuts are no different from the liberal bleeding heart nuts who say that all guns and all gun owners are bad because there are a tiny minority of scum bags and reckless idiots and outright criminals who own/use guns.
If I were going to be a psychologist, I'd say, in fact, that the brain damage is the same, just manifesting itself in opposite ways:
The liberal, bleeding heart nut wants to TAKE ON individual responsibility for ALL OF SOCIETY;
The libertarian lone nut wants to SHRUG OFF awareness of anything but whatever whims or emotions or random thoughts bubble up from THEIR OWN fevered individual unconscious...
But these sad, sick people -- the liberals and the libertarians -- have no more in common with "normal" and "healthy" people do that, say, anorexcic/bulemic or obese people do. Some people just have brain problems. They react to normal human life by flipping off to psycho extremes. We should have pity on them, and we should be available to help them get themselves back to good health if they choose to try. But we should NOT indulge them and make them think that their sickness is "normal" or even acceptable.
I'm done with these let's hate the cop threads. Nothing good can come from being here. You sad, sick, psycho, libertarian losers (I don't mean you, blackdog, I mean the activists) need to help yourselves before you mingle with decent, normal, thinking people.

That was my impression also, but going back and re-reading some of the early articles it appears that the FBI are claiming they were trying serve a warrant on Blottenberger Jr.
Blottenberger robbed the bank on Feb. 20 2002
Shooting took place Friday evening March 1, 2002
Excerpts from Baltimore Sun
Originally published March 2, 2002
FBI agents searching for an armed bank robber pulled over the wrong car last night on Fort Smallwood Road in Pasadena and shot a man in the face who had no connection to the crime, authorities said.
Several FBI agents were working with Anne Arundel police Friday to serve an arrest warrant on a man suspected robbing a bank. He is believed to be armed and dangerous, Gulotta said.
Excerpts from Baltimore Sun
Published March 5, 2002
Michael J. Blottenberger Jr., 32, of the 1600 block of Locust St. in Baltimore, was charged with bank robbery and made an initial appearance yesterday before a federal magistrate.
Schultz and Harkum, both of Pasadena, were returning home in her red Pontiac Grand Am after a shopping trip about 6 p.m. Friday when FBI agents in plain clothes and an unmarked car pulled the couple over on Fort Smallwood Road in Pasadena.
The agents were looking for Blottenberger, who was wanted in connection with the Feb. 20 robbery of an Allfirst Bank branch and who was believed to be driving in a red sedan Friday.
During an initial appearance yesterday before U.S. Magistrate Judge James K. Bredar, Blottenberger had short-cropped, light brown hair and wore wire-rimmed eyeglasses. He had a large tattoo on the back of his neck.
On February 24, 1996, three light aircraft left Miami on a routine flight. Their missions, to search the waters off the Florida Coast for rafters trying to reach the US shores, and bring them help by guiding the US Coast Guard to their location. That day in February, only one plane would return to its home base in Miami.
Tune in to Radio FreeRepublic this Thursday, March 14, at 9 PM EST, and listen to the actual sounds of a terrorist in action, murdering unarmed American citizens.
Sr. José Basulto, founder of Brothers to the Rescue and pilot of the surviving Cessna, will shed light on the events of that day, and detail how the Clinton administration withheld advanced knowledge of the attack from the humanitarian volunteer group, helping seal the fate of these four courageous flyers.
Radio FreeRepublic, fearless talk radio.
Our super secret FBI has struck again.
No ethics, no integrity, no accountability !!!!!!
Those details, contained in an FBI affidavit in the bank robbery case, could play a central role in the investigations into the shooting of Joseph C. Schultz, as authorities examine how much federal agents knew about the real suspect they were tracking and how dangerous they thought he was.
"In general terms, anytime anyone robs a bank, and a gun is displayed, they're considered armed and dangerous," said Special Agent Peter A. Gulotta Jr., who said that in assessing how risky a capture might be, agents also consider a suspect's criminal history.
Sorry,but I ain't buying that. It was the result of a dumb ass being allowed to become a Feeb,and another Feeb being stupid enough to allow him to carry a rifle. This idiot was approaching a car from the rear with the safety off and his finger on the trigger. I'm convinced it was a accidental shooting.
I doubt it. Not with a name like "Blottenberger".
What else can I think if the FEEBS aren't releasing a mug shot???
He probably looks nothing like the young man who was shot,and the Feebs don't want "civilians" making judgements on their abilities. Or lack of abilities.
Sorry, in my worldview, there's no such thing as an "accidental shooting". This strikes me as, at best, a negligent discharge, and at worst, a totally inappropriate intentional discharge that should be prosecuted as an attempted homicide.
This situation is completely different with the FBI:
An FBI agent murders a woman nursing her baby, and charges against him are dropped, and he is promoted. Agents repeatedly lied at the trials of the survivors, but none are prosecuted for perjury.
In Waco, the FBI at worst murdered 80 people in cold blood, and at best, gassed them to incapacity, and then denied fire trucks from putting out the fire that killed them. Not a single one faced any criminal charges for any part of the event.
The FBI was ordered to surrender documents pertaining to the defense of OKC bombing suspects McVeigh and Nichols... for some reason, some 3,000 pages of such evidence was withheld, against the law, and in violation of the court order and in violation of due process for the defendents. No agent faces any criminal charges for this mistake.
While in charge of investigating the crash of TWA 800, FBI agent-in-charge James Kallstrom took a souvenier flag from the wreckage and gave it to a family member of one of the victims, despite a law prohibiting souvenier collection from crashes. Kallstrom was not prosecuted. But when investigative journalist James Sanders obtained samples of seat fabric for testing (from one within the investigation who had lost faith in it) he was prosecuted by the FBI under the anti-souveneir-collecting law for pilfering wreckage, even though the sample was obtained for investigative purposes, unlike the one taken by Kallstrom.
Now we have a case in which FBI agents have shot an innocent, unarmed person, refused the person medical care, and now is trying to suppress investigation of the shooting.
There are other similar cases not summarized here. Together, they paint a disturbing pattern that FBI agents as a rule, not the exception, are unaccountable and operate above the law. If these cases don't convince you something with the FBI is seriously wrong, just what would it take?
They are the same thing.
