They framed me when I was a teenager. After 2 of their trainee deputies became sexually involved with a minor. My friend who had witnessed them together ended up dead, and the Sheriffs dept. Called my parents claiming I had kidnapped the girl they were having sex with. I was stslked and harrassed by associates of theirs for decades afterword. They routinly left mutiated cats on my porch. Killed my dogs, slashed tires and got informants (Jerry and Jerrid Allen among others) to make false reports and death thrests agsinst me. The established community leaders in Custer engage in child sex abuse, fraud, extortion and every other criminal racket possible. The Sherrifs Dept. acts as enforcers of the depraved abusers who control the community. And not as any "Law enforcement" entity. Engen was trying to take the power from the evil doers by tsking on their military wing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03945200157541421888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371904020164697258.post-27038198299625645392011-09-17T21:21:13.774-05:002011-09-17T21:21:13.774-05:00Rohrschach moment. We see what we want... especial...Rohrschach moment. We see what we want... especially Mr. Ellis.<br /><br />I see no implication that Dr. Newquist excuses the "aggressive, deadly beahavior" committed by Tiger and Engen. I see only the continued effort by Mr. Ellis to deter people from taking arguments seriously by simply claiming that Dr. Newquist is part of some vast nameless "ilk" whom we may scapegoat for every problem in America. <em>Every</em> problem: that claim is the silliest thing I have heard all day... and I spent most of this day in the company of a five-year-old.<br /><br />I guess I just don't see the elitism or even the mistake in thinking that people who despair, people who think they have nothing to lose, are more prone to commit acts of desperation and violence. As Dr. Newquist notes, this understanding of despair is a pretty basic part of the training for police and other surely patriotic professionals who deal with intense confrontations. Are the police part of the liberal ilk Mr. Ellis sees around every corner? Of course not. <br /><br />Dr. Newquist does not excuse desperate violence. He diagnoses conditions that may lead people to it. Even if we ascribe all moral responsibility to the perpetrators of such violence (they do have free will), it still makes sense for the community to at least avoid creating conditions that may foment despair, if not (as Jesus appears to direct his followers) actively dispel such conditions.<br /><br />Summary of Mr. Ellis's screaming: if you dare question an American political and economic system that is reducing options for low-income and middle-income folks, you are going to hell.caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371904020164697258.post-3372192645075323292011-09-16T13:33:46.542-05:002011-09-16T13:33:46.542-05:00I grew up very poor by American standards. There&#...I grew up very poor by American standards. There's a good chance I grew up even more poor than both of these guys. Incidentally, we did not have health insurance. <br /><br />Yet I had hope. I understood the law. I understood right from wrong. And I was expected to act properly like everyone else.<br /><br />Your implication that there is no hope or expectation for low income people is as revolting, disgusting and offensive as it is wrong. Your elitist attitude that one cannot understand right from wrong, restrain themselves or behave in a civilized manner if one is poor positively reeks! What pathetic snobbery!<br /><br />What may even be more disgusting than that is your implication that lawlessness and murder can be excused if the lawbreaker comes from a low income background. I dare you to say that to the face of the loved ones killed by Daniel Tiger. I dare you.<br /><br />If there is any truth at all in your assertion that "the badges and uniforms of American authority...no longer signal messages or hope and expectations of opportunity, equality, liberty and justice, then lawless, anti-American trash like you are COMPLETELY to blame. You are to blame for breeding and fostering the Marxist class warfare, envy and hatred you've cultivated since the 1960s. <br /><br />You and your ilk have lied to the American people over and over and over and over from the media to the education establishment, trash-talking the most free and just system ever devised by man, and led people to believe they were getting shafted by "evil rich" people. You have sown the seeds of discontent, envy and malice...and now we are reaping your dark and malevolent crop. You have sown contempt for everything right and good, and now it's harvest time.<br /><br />The contempt you and your liberal ilk have sown for morality, ethics and values, coupled with your message of low expectations for low income people, has created a perfect storm of societal angst. You've broadcast from every avenue possible the message that there is no truth, that morality is relative, that our traditional values are flawed and obsolete...and you you have the audacity to act surprised when people behave as the intelligentsia has told them they are expected to act? What a crock! You liberals are like the mischievous children who, playing with matches, sets the house on fire and then pretends to not know what happened.<br /><br />If you wonder why Daniel Tiger and two good cops are dead, go look in the mirror. If you wonder why there is no respect for authority, go look in the mirror. <br /><br />YOU and your ilk are 100% responsible for virtually ever problem in American society right now. I'd tell you to man-up and at least take responsibility and credit for what you've wrought, but I've yet to encounter a Leftist who was grownup enough for that, so I won't bother. But you'll get to explain it to your maker one day...and it won't be pretty.Bob Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413354616356999953noreply@blogger.com
