"To show how ruthless FBI is, I would put my own wife, daughter out on the front lines to be shot"

A former Arizona sheriff who has taken the side of cattle ranchers in Nevada said this week that he would have allowed his own wife and daughters to be shot as human shields because it would look bad for the federal government on television.

In a statement to Fox News on Monday that was first flagged by Glenn Beck’s The Blaze, former Sheriff Richard Mack talked about their strategy to put women on the front lines if a gunfight broke out between “rogue federal agents” and rancher Cliven Bundy, who reportedly owes the taxpayers more than $1 million for allowing his cattle to graze on government land.

“We were actually strategizing to put all the women up at the front,” he recalled. “If they are going to start shooting, it’s going to be women that are going to be televised all across the world getting shot by these rogue federal officers.”

Snip:

“I’m sorry, that sounds horrible,” he continued. “I would have put my own wife or daughters there, and I would have been screaming bloody murder to watch them die. I would have gone next, I would have been the next one to be killed. I’m not afraid to die here. I’m willing to die here.”

It works for ISIS, as every drone-kill pisses off many Muslims, creates more marters and is a great
recruitment tool.

They see themselves as being in a fight of good against evil. Their "philosophy" is a bunch of transparent horseshit, but that doesn't mean they aren't willing to fight and die for it. In that respect, they resemble a cult pretty closely.

Is he a detective down in Texas?
Does he know just exactly what the facts is?
Is he not gonna let those two escape justice?
Does he make his living off of other people's taxes?

Several Photos to consider. Five Tactical vehicles,flat bed trailer loaded with portable flood lamps,another type of specialized vehicle,and a Specialized Helio. If you do go to that Newspaper to view the photos,notice also the License Plates on the SUV's and the two Hertz Rental trucks. This will end probably tonight or by this weekend when the moon is in daytime phase.
