heads up

WND takes a shot at the IRS anyway, anytime it can.

Their "news" article is almost plagiarism.

Here's where they copied the "scoop".

Nicholson and friends are obvious tax protestors.
Could it be that they set the confrontation up and/or lied, or exaggerated facts ?

When it comes to IRS scandal, don't count on WND.

Doesn't this subject understand that the IRS is the government and they don't need to show no stupid law.

What's he think, that the fbi is there to serve him and justice.

Why the fool, he deserves to have his property taken for being so dumb.

Police Tight-Lipped on IRS Agent Investigation

Las Vegas -

10/16/01

A Federal Judge in Las Vegas sentenced a local man last week for assaulting an Internal Revenue Service agent.

Jeremy Toliver was indicted last April on two counts of assaulting a federal officer and pleaded guilty to one of the counts in July.

While Toliver was prosecuted for assaulting two IRS agents on March 26, another Las Vegas resident, Ken Nicholson, was assaulted by an IRS agent on October 2, and the police, FBI, and US Attorney refused to take a report on the incident.

The Las Vegas Tribune has learned that on March 26 when the two IRS agents visited Toliver, he tried to evade the agent and ran away from them. In the effort to evade the agents, Toliver pushed one of the agents against a table causing a scratch on his leg from a piece of furniture. There was no witnesses except the two agents who verified each other's testimony. Toliver was charged, indicted, and sentenced on just their testimony.

On October 2, Agent Wiley Davis, a team manager with the Colorado office of the Internal Revenue Service, allegedly assaulted Las Vegas residents Keith Milbourn and Kent Nicholson and no action was taken.

Nicholson accompanied his friend Milbourn to the Oakey Boulevard office of the IRS to discuss Milbourn's account.

When Nicholson referred to material obtained from Irwin Schiff and the Freedom Book Store, agent Davis reportedly went out of control and start hitting Nicholson in the groin with a chair and pushed him out of the building.

Eyewitnesses told the Tribune that the agent lost his temper when he was not able to prove that he was acting within the law when he placed a lean on Milbourn?s property.

Nicholson told Agent Davis that he was willing to give Milbourn the money to settle the account if the Agent could produce the code section of the IRS law that made Milbourn liable for that specific tax.

Nicholson said that agent Davis them attacked him in front of witnesses including other IRS agents, a court reporter, Milbourn and his wife Shawna, case agent Renee Swells, and IRS security guards.

Nicholson told the Las Vegas Tribune, "I know that if I would have assaulted the IRS agent, I would be sitting in jail right now. But because Agent Davis is the one who assaulted me, Metro took our statement and let him go."

Little did he know that few days later Toliver was going to be sent to jail for the same type crime Agent Davis had reportedly committed.

Several calls made by the Tribune to Detective Miller of the general assignment division of the Metropolitan Police Department were not returned, therefore we cannot report Metro's side of this story as to why they took no action against the IRS agent for the reported assault.

This is really outrageous. For the FBI and the IRS to refuse to even take a report is totally inappropriate. If they think nothing happened, then what are they afraid of?

A man pushes and IRS agent and gives him a scratch, and he is convicted of assualting a federal agent. A citizen is hit with a chair by a federal agent, and the federal agency for which he works refuses to take a report. Lovely.

Incidents of this nature tend to have Unintended Consequences. Heads up!

How dare this plebian question the King's man! He deserveth far more than a chair across the face. One is either for the government or against it, doncha know? /sarcasm

You got it right, GMan. These tax protestor idiots are so maddeningly stupid with their conspiracy claims and their wacked out BS legal "theories", that I'd have been tempted to give the guy a whack myself. (And I hate the evil IRS. But the only people possibly more evil than the IRS are these guys who dupe stupid people into believing that the income tax is illegal. On second thought, I take that back. The IRS is STILL more evil.)

It is a shame, though, that the Las Vegas DA is not more interested in filing charges, if for no other reason than to tamp down the inevitable howls of protest from the nutcase TPs. (Note to Freepers: DA's have a wide latitude in deciding whether to charge someone or not. And the Feds in this case have nothing to do with it.)

Oh, so if you assault a Federal Agent, it is a federal crime, but if a Federal Agent assaults you, it is a misdemeanor. Ok. I understand now.
