Found this one though...
www.msnbc.msn.com
FTA: In an Internet posting, a user by the name JPatrickBedell wrote that he was "determined to see that justice is served" in the death of Marine Col. James Sabow, who was found dead in the back yard of his California home in 1991. The death was ruled a suicide but the case has long been the source of theories of a coverup.
The user named JPatrickBedell wrote the Sabow case was "a step toward establishing the truth of events such as the September 11 demolitions."
That same posting railed against the government's enforcement of marijuana laws and included links to the author's 2006 court case in Orange County, Calif., for cultivating marijuana and resisting a police officer. Court records available online show the date of birth on the case mentioned by the user JPatrickBedell matches that of the John Patrick Bedell suspected in the shooting.
So, a pro-pot troofer did this mad thing?
Sounds more like a libertarian than a liberal to Spud.
In any event, this basically boils down to a case of "Suicide by Cop" only writ larger than usual due to the particular cops he chose to engage.
The media have done a remarkable job over the years of making protesters of all political stripes look like dangerous morons and making anybody who questions government into a conspiracy theorist.
Idiots like this now dead whackjob just make their job easier.
Why does Spud note this?
Times are becoming increasingly grim for many.
Desperate people commit desperate acts.
Governments then use those acts to justify further erosion of civil liberties.
It's a vicious cycle.
During the global economic depression of the thirties the conditions led to the installation of three fascist authoritarian governments in Germany, Italy and Spain.
Anyone who thinks "It can't happen here" is kidding themselves.
Be Well.
