This same kind of thing happened in Utah this year. Did a no-knock entry on a USER and he didn't know who was rushing his house. He comes around the corner of the hall with a golf club raised and they pop off on him. Dead. The video and story here. It's disturbing.
Police Kill Man In Drug Raid Gone Wrong (VIDEO)
Although most everyone will tell you Timothy McVeigh was the main culprit in the OKC bombing, the truth is that he was merely a dupe in the operation, it was a moslem operation from the getgo, they were just able to incorporate a 'lilly white' to be the fall guy.
Strangely the stupid sob kept his mouth shut about the whole thing all the way to his execution.

The sheriff in question seems to be echoing Napolitano about our main fear of terrorism is returning servicemen who have put their life on the line for America.
What a douchebag!!

There is a cure of ignorance but so far science has found no remedy for stupidity.
On the contrary, with preschool programs rampant where supidity can be promoted at an early age, we seem to be on track to be living in an idiocracy sooner rather than later.
Give me a freaking break.
I just scoured Google finding anything I could on Hussain Al-Hussaini's connection to the OKC bombing, and literally the only things out there were right wing blogs quoting Jayna Davis, and the biggest extent of anything anybody could cite was that McVeigh was seen a few times with the guy. To be modest, that's a few steps shy of evidence of collusion on a terrorist attack and you're a few nickels short of a buck.
McVeigh and Nichols were both former-military, Christian raised NRA members that were incensed by what happened with the Branch Davidians and influenced by things like the Turner Diaries. People who believe the OKC bombing was an act by Muslims are the same level of batshiz crazy as those who believe 9/11 was perpetrated by the US government, but with a small fraction of the circumstantial evidence.
Got anymore retarded ideas you'd like to pull out of your ass?
so, if gs were to call Mandela a "terrorist", by your own admission, he would be correct? Regardless of the motivation, acts of terrorism should never be excused. Mandela himself insisted that the ANC not cover-up or censor the actions of the MK.
perhaps by your definition of terrorism it was, but not mine nor most other peoples'
There is no universally agreed, legally binding, criminal law definition of terrorism.[1][2] Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for a religious, political or ideological goal, deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (civilians), and are committed by non-government agencies.

Where is the line drawn? Mandela and MK armed themselves to fight for human rights and the ability of native south Africans to be self-governed. Were the Patriots terrorists? IRA? How does one define who is terrorist vs. freedom fighter?
did the Patriots target innocent civilians? did the IRA?
seems to me that terrorists will always engage and kill soft targets first. Shopping malls, school buses, etc.
Firstly, weaponry has advanced exponentially during the time span between the revolution and the existence of the IRA and MK. The Patriots and IRA did carry out violent actions against civilians at various points, though neither to the extent of the MK. The comparison is apples to oranges though.
I think one could make a case that without armed rebellion and guerrilla warfare, apartheid governance would still exist in South Africa or at least carried on for much longer, and that armed rebellion that happened to occur in a time and place when civilian casualties were practically unavoidable. Do I find some actions by the MK abhorrent? Yes. Do I subscribe to the idea that continuation of apartheid was the best option for the sake of non-violence? No. It's very much a 'do the ends justify the means' type of situation.
Back to the thread at hand, perfect example of why the 2nd amendment is a good thing.
