Is there anything the feds don't want involved in?

The US Senate is considering to outlaw theft of copper.  Um, it's already illegal to steal in all 50 states.  Why do we need a federal law? 

It's not just obama, it's both parties that are involved in the federal government overreach in multiple areas.

The need to "do something" once in Washington must be overwhelming.  How about doing nothing? We don't want or need any more of your "help".

Meigs County Sheriff's office did about all they could to blow this one

JUST BACK OFF!

I'm pretty sure too much testosterone was flowing for any thinking to go on in this situation.

Especially after the SO escalated this unnecessarily.

It's hard to back off after the cameras arrive.

This 80 something held off 3 or 4 county Sheriff's offices for 24 hours?

Not sure we'll ever get the entire story, but one version is that this individual verbally threatened a deputy.

However, the deputy was able to retreat and call for help.

And help did he get, the Calvary arrived then, of course, you have to have a "battle".

An 80 year old man, in his own house, ALONE, with an old shot gun.  Where's Andy Taylor when you need him?  Just back off and nab him the next he heads down the road.

These types of incidents bring up the "police looking for a fight" comments.

Then the Sheriff posts on his Facebook site: “After a long battle, the standoff is finally over! We have the male in custody. Nobody was hurt in this incident. We want to thank everyone that was involved!”

Battle?  Is that what they call surrounding an 80 year old man with an old shotgun and no shots having been fired?  Or are they predisposed for battle?
  
At least they didn't burn his house down with him in it...........however, they made an attempt by inserting tear gas, which is known to want to burn easily.

Sort of scary.  Not too impressed with Meigs County's new Sheriff so far.
