NEW HAMPSHIRE: FEDERAL INCOME TAX TRIAL RESULTS IN ARMED STANDOFF
January 19th, 2007Via: Boston Globe:
A man who has holed up with armed supporters in his fortress-like house for most of his tax evasion trial was found guilty Thursday, along with his wife, of engaging in an elaborate scheme to avoid paying federal income taxes for a decade.
…
Brown and about 25 supporters said they will defend themselves against capture if necessary. Bernie Bastian, a supporter who said he was carrying two guns, said they would stand with their friend.
“He’s here at the house, and he’s not leaving of his own free will,” Bastian said.
It’s unclear how many others were carrying weapons.

It’s absolutely disgusting how the media is sensationalizing this story. “Compound” and “watchtower” my ass.
And the fact that there IS no law requiring anyone to pay federal taxes is politely ignored and glossed over.
Every single time this has been challenged in court, the Federal Government has never once produced the law as evidence. NOT ONCE out of hundreds of challenges.
Dirty rotten mofo bastards, I hope they kill a whole bunch of these scum.
Glad to see one more person step up to the plate and say “HELL NO”!
There is much more information here, with updates and actual details of what happened and is happening – http://yannone.blogspot.com/2007/01/will-plainfield-be-another-waco.html
while people are standing up for themselves, perhaps this will inspire you more. apparently the constitution doesn’t expressly grant us any rights, it only says the gov’t can’t take them away…

He’s screwed.
If this guy ends up dying in an armed standoff, he deserves a statue in his honor, for being a true patiot and fighting the thieving, scheming, unAmerican, deceiving bastards in D.C.

You’re right, but he’ll more likely get Koreshian style treatment.
