Are there parallels between the Duke Lacrosse Players
persecution, the Border Patrol agents imprisoned for doing their jobs, the
massive federal, state, county, and local enforcements agencies’ raids on some
cockfighters recently, and Hollis Wayne Fincher November 12, 2006?
In all cases there
were overt efforts to demonize, dehumanize, and instill fear. Don’t know much about the cockfighters’ case,
other than it smacks of overkill.
The Duke and the Border Patrol cases demonstrate a
willingness to distort and withhold evidence—anything to win. The Fincher case was gross overkill against a
well-repected Constitutional patriot—openly honest with the public and
officials, but descended upon with
military-type furor by eight agencies on a lone 60 year old man in poor
health. Why?
Some possibilities include his legitimate, well-organized
Washington County Militia, his brilliant treatise and defense of 2nd
Amendment rights, his prime property perhaps in the way of development and his
opposition to the passing of a county eminent domain type bill, his possession
of “federally unauthorized” weapons (well
known by local and county law enforcement) was the official reason for eight
government agencies to pounce, arrest, and incarcerate. Now after SEVEN months
in jail, Fincher is finally facing sentencing this Friday, 6/22/07.
The question is: How do all these agencies with their
personnel, equipment, time, tax money and power justify their pursuit of these
cases when our country is being invaded and occupied by criminal gangs, drug
and human smugglers, illegal aliens stealing identities and sucking up social
services of all types, and the employers of illegals are felons according to
our present laws, subject to fines and imprisonment?
Are we to believe that the Border Patrol agents, the
cockfighters and Fincher are of greater danger to citizens than all of the above? We get the picture and await the verdict.
