Sheriff,
This situation in Plainfield, as
currently configured needs to be defused.
The Browns have a right to be
able to plead their case in a courtroom, and the judge who denied them
that right needs to be removed from the case - so that sanity can have its
day in court. If this is not possible in the case of Ed and Elaine Brown,
then this nation will have become the police-state that many believe it
already is.
If situations like this are
allowed to remain outside the venue of an open courtroom somewhere, then
chaos, both real and de facto will reign in far more instances than just
this one case.
I've been working on the fringes
of the CRIMINAL-Justice-System since the late 1960's - and I've watched
the whole thing deteriorate over situations just like this one, for
decades. Either your office means something to the people of your area, or
it does not. But there was another local officer in New Orleans, during
and after Katrina who did what needed to be done to feed and provide water
to the people of his area. He was ordered not to get involved by the feds
- but he did what he needed to do for his people who were in serious need
at that time.
Be that man that makes that
critical difference now Sheriff, or find a way to effect what needs to
happen in order to return this problem to the courtrooms where it belongs.
This situation calls for much more from everyone with a weapon - but
especially from those "officers" who are employed by the county,
state or federal governments. Too many people have forgotten that these
"officers" are not our jailers - they are our employees. The
Imposter in the Oval Office has made crude and illegal behavior into a
merit badge for too many thugs in uniform today. You are an elected
official who needs to stand for actual law and order - and not for this
political stunt that the Bush government is trying to pull off in your
neck of the woods. There will be consequences if 'law-enforcement' again
goes nuts: because this time the world is watching!
The only way to avoid a slaughter
is to separate the parties and give the Browns their free and open day in
court!
Millions of people agonized over
what Janet Reno did and did not do before, during, and after Waco. And
Ruby Ridge proved not to be the FBI's finest hour. There are way too many
guns in the surrounding area of the Brown's estate, for something not to
happen. Please facilitate the right of the Browns to have their case heard
in open court, because if that does not happen it will mean that what
little is left of this country has no real meaning anymore.

"I live in Plainfield NH,
approximately one mile from the Brown's house. Although I don't know Ed
and Elaine personally, I am familiar with the fact that he has been
outspoken on this subject for many years and has also been the leader, for
the past decade, of a well known local militia. Needless to say his
outspoken attitude has made him a target for the feds for probably many
years prior. Ed's ideas are interesting to say the least. I agree with
many of the premises of his arguments, and I sort of admire his spirit.
However, unfortunately, in interviews he can come across half baked and at
times extremely contentious. The people (not all but quite a number) that
gravitate towards his cause and house, unfortunately, are not all that
stable. However all of this aside, I believe this entire situation has
been a botch job from the very beginning. During the court proceedings,
Ed, sans a lawyer wasn't allowed to present his case before the judge.
Granted his arguments are novel yet this is still the USA and, consider me
naive, I thought one was still allowed to present their case before a jury
without the judge denying them that right. But alas I guess I was
mistaken. So Ed skips court and he was tried and found guilty in abstentia.
So in come the US Marshals to get him. Unfortunately this too has been
become a major !*&^%! up. They show up in our town at nine in the
morning, without notifying any of our town's police or fire department
personnel. Suddenly our town goes from peace to virtual lockdown.
Residents within a quarter mile of the Brown's house are forced to leave
their homes! State Police that I have never seen in our town before,
driving dark weird looking cars, stop every one traveling on every road in
town and armed with M16s proceed to question where you are going etc... It
was very disturbing and absolutely uncalled for. Then just as quickly as
they showed up they left, claiming all long it was just a recon mission
and that they will one day be back. Needless to say the residents of this
town are not really happy. Myself personally had not much sympathy for Ed
Brown, yet after seeing the way the Feds and the State Police conducted
this swaggering botch job, I am more inclined to think that they should
just leave the guy alone I have watched every interview with that Monier
guy and I don't believe that guy is capable of telling the truth. In the
beginning I actually believed he really did want this to end peaceably,
yet in a recent interview, he unequivocally stated that the US Marshall
service will not be defied. Hardly the words of someone who wants to see
this end in peace. As a Christian I have recently been praying that this
entire situation ends with no deaths involved. In an ideal world the
federal government would just walk away. But all too often this never is
the outcome."
