Seven vehicles carrying a dozen ATF agents, armed with AR-15s and dressed in tactical gear, raided Fincher’s home in Clayton. This intimidating display culminated in Fincher being handcuffed on his deck while surrounded by agents. The presence of armed agents and their aggressive behavior left Fincher and his son traumatized.
“It was like the Trump raid. They called me out onto my deck and handcuffed me. My son was there and saw the whole thing. He’s 13 years old,” Fincher told Williams.
“They held me on the porch for about an hour. I was surrounded by agents. One by one, they yelled at me about what I was doing. In my mind I decided if they were going to beat me up over every little thing, I’m done. As soon as I said, ‘If you want my FFL, you can have it,’ one of the agents pulled out a piece of paper and said, ‘Well then sign here.’ He had made three copies in case I screwed one up. It was exactly what they wanted. I was shocked,” Fincher added.
“You’re done. We have to shut you down,” Fincher recalls Mongell saying. “You tell all your FFL buddies we are coming for them. We are shutting the gun shows down.”
I think it started when the police started showing up in cammo’d fire teams. Then flash bangs and gas bombs. Then we went into free fall the day the Local Police Forces started showing up in Armored vehicles.
You can thank 9/11/01 and the Patriot Act for that, so much equipment was being used that they created huge surpluses that the Federal Government sold off in job lots.
Where I live, there is not a single body of water that is deeper than 12 inches (except swimming pools) but our PD has a tricked out Zod and a dive team.
…and someone once said “they wouldn’t be just following orders”
They are following orders.
Once the order goes out, American soldiers and or law enforcement with all kinds of letters in front of their names, will be shooting Americans in their neighborhoods, please don’t doubt this. It’s only a matter of time!
I saw a news article yesterday saying that the NYPD will be using drones to monitor private backyard Labor Day parties. Just big brother with an eye in the sky hovering over your family gathering. No big deal, right?
If you have nothing to hide you hide nothing… aaaa I mean if you have nothing to hide it doesn’t matter, I’m everywhere looking at everything and I’LL decide what needs to be hidden from you.
