” I do hope the Morning Journal will follow up on this story. The paper did not mention the SWAT participation in this, but a very disturbing account of it is plastered all over the internet. It could be a “rumor,” but other of these types of incidents have been reported in the mainstream press. If the SWAT story turns out to be true, then the Ohio governor’s office, the ODA, and the mainstream press should most definitely be inundated with public outcry. Please follow up. “

How can you be a true American and allow commoners to disturb the lawful rightful cash flow upwards into the hands of the rightfully deserving of the USA?
Interfere with the USA’s elite class, corporate systems and wealth/powerful special-interest groups at your own risk.
The law enforcement bureaucracies exist to maintain the distance between the elite class and you mere commoners.
Simply OBEY your betters and all will be well.
Disobey and prove your lack of loyalty, your lack of patriotism and your likely non-support of the troops.
Let this event be akin to Waco and Ruby Ridge, a message to the masses of citizenry that OBEYING is the safest route.”

In a comment today on the Complete Patient blog, “An Observer” gave a possible explanation for what seems like the excessive use of force in this case:
“….And, as far as the use of law enforcement during the “action,” things changed after the murder of USDA and state inspectors in 2000 at a meat/sausage plant. Sadly, due to the violence, I don’t think it is taken for granted by regulators that anyone is just a “peaceful farmer.”
