Tim's worst nightmare.,..
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- here we go again, the AP wire just laid on this morning's action at Roby IL --it sounds to close to Ruby Ridge for my taste. This is beyond police harassment and save face for what was a civil action and will now end up with the poor lady wearing a ciminal jacket longer than her life. October 27, 1997 Woman in Standoff Shoots at Police Filed at 10:12 a.m. EST By The Associated Press ROBY, Ill. (AP) -- Gunfire rang out again at the home of a woman involved in a month-long standoff with authorities who have a court order to bring her in for psychological testing. Shirley Allen shot a police dog through the nose Sunday after officers threw pepper spray into her farmhouse, state police director Terrance Gainer said. well, wouldn't you if the dog is put in your house... She also fired a shot when police used mirrors on long sticks to peer in, but no one was injured, Gainer said. well, wouldn't you? Gainer said sound detection equipment had picked up a conversation Mrs. Allen had with herself on Friday in which she sounded as if she was ``moving closer to suicide,'' followed by a long period of inactivity. 33 days the lady has stood off a virtual army who cut off her power, water, and telephone --wouldn't you talk to yourself for company. hell, who wouldn't commit suicide rather than face the scheiBesturm she faces when they finally "bag" her. That prompted police to drive an all-terrain vehicle around her back yard Sunday, break her windows and a sliding glass door, throw in nine canisters of pepper spray and send in a German shepherd wired for sound. She fired once at the dog, Gainer said. The dog was taken to a veterinary hospital for treatment. shit, let's airdrop her a dozen TOW missles. she can put them to good use. nine canisters of pepper spray --who the hell do the think they are? Los Angeles police beating Rodney King? Mrs. Allen, 51, has attracted the sympathy of many neighbors, and her case has become a rallying point for those who compare it to Ruby Ridge and Waco as an example of overzealous law enforcement. she needs more than sympathy, she needs some action! Gainer said Mrs. Allen's actions show that she is dangerous and prove that state police cannot back off and leave her alone because she is a threat to herself and to others. she wasnt dangerous until the bastards violated her privacy; all over the fact a greedy nephew wants to get control of the valuable 40 some acres. most of the family say she's fine, but the liberal press does not report that fairly. The standoff, about 20 miles southeast of Springfield, started Sept. 22 when she used a shotgun to resist sheriff's deputies serving commitment papers obtained by her family. Relatives said Mrs. Allen, a former nurse, had become increasingly depressed after her husband died of pancreatic cancer in 1989 and recently began refusing to see or talk to her mother and brother. hell, if your relatives are being assholes, you can turn the switch off there, too. a telephone is solely for calling out with --and connecting to the net.... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: latin1 Comment: No safety this side of the grave.

Not really "Tim's worse nightmare..." Besides, you folks ought to see the latest self-protection gizmo, which I just bought at the San Jose Gun Show. An Olympic Arms OA-96 pistol, firing 30 rounds of .223. Basically an AR-15 with a barrel cut down to about 6 inches, a pistol grip, and a few other changes. (Sadly, the 30-round magazine is welded in place, to comply with the letter of the law on "assault guns.") I needed something for answering the door in an era where the Bad Guys routinely wear body armor sufficient to stop handgun rounds (.45, 9mm, .40, and sometimes even .44 Magnum). My existing AR-15 and other .223 rifles (5.56mm, in metric/NATO) will of course punch right through any feasible body armor now being sold, but bringing such rifles up to bear in a doorway is tough. Hence the market for .223-based machine pistols. (The guy who sold it to me says he's been selling quite a few of these to police SWAT "entry teams." Entry teams, for those of you not in the know, are the folks wearning black ninja suits and body armor who break down doors and spray everything inside with submachines guns--usually things like H&K MP5s. Apparently they're feeling the need to move from handgun calibers to .223.) These new assault pistols are already being marked for eventual outlawing, which is why I was in kind of a hurry to get one. Ironically, I live up on top of a ridge, about 500 feet above the valley floor below me, with three sides almost impossible to conventional entry methods. So, if there's a "Ruby Ridge" or "Roby Ridge" at my place, the dynamics will be quite different. (Yes, besides my "readiness to hand" weapons, I also have some long-range, scope-equipped weapons.)

I'm wondering ... surely all those militia types are watching this case -- wouldn't it be a real coo to intervene and rescue Mrs Allen :-) Let's talk tactics ... how would you disable the Feds without killing Mrs Allen -- helicopter and nerve gas -- well organised get away?

Perhaps a variation on the 'Parker Plan' might work. The Date: Mid 1980's The Situation: Sitting in the hills of Humboldt County, Ca. guarding the 'patch'. Relaxing on the half-moon commode when there comes the sound of CAMP (Campaign Against Marihuana Production) vehicles and helicopters coming over the hill. The Solution: Put on shades and baseball cap, tuck .45 in belt, join the 'crew' as they march toward the shack, kick the door in, grab the TV and a chainsaw, go outside and throw them into one of the vehicles, wave to the 'guys', saying, "You guys get the pot, and I'll meet you back in town."
