And the guys who just got busted for having fertilizer, diesel oil, and drugs on their farm had a whole three ounces of marijuana and personal-use quantities of crank. Maybe they were planning to blow up buildings rather than stumps; but the Feds are trying to paint them as max evil just to build up their case.
Who says they were going to blow anything up? It is perfectly legit for farms to have large quantities of fertilizer around--they use it all the time. Same with diesel fuel--what are they supposed to run the tractors and combines with? Dog piss? DUHHHH! As far as having the instructions for mixing them to go boom, who the hell made that a crime? You could bust most of the farmers in this country if you criminalize simultaneous posession of fertilizer and diesel fuel. Did these people ever actually mix any of the fert. and fuel together? Did they threaten to blow up anything? This whole situation is nothing more than jackbooted thugs getting a rush by stomping on people. FTJBT Jonathan Wienke
