http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5139598/ A home-made armored Caterpillar turns Colorado into Palestine? One and a half hours is not enough to scramble an A-10 Warthog or an Apache attack chopper to knock out that concrete-armored caterpillar? What the hell the Colorado ANG was doing? Damn, if the driver was Musa al-Zarqawi, he could crawl all the way to Chicago and razor the Sear Tower with confused cops firing pistols at him to no avail! Don't tell me this scenario was unexpected. Some two years ago a drunken guy ran amok with an M-60 tank. He was finally stopped by a static obstacle, which just like this case, had nothing to do with law enforcement. The incompetence of namby-pamby US authorities ridiculizes America all over the world. Waco, Columbine and many other SWAT or anti-terrorist operations have been screwed. No matter which agency, US spec-ops just suck. Everyone is so diligent about covering his/her ass administratively and kevlar-wise that the job never gets done well and civilians and officers are getting killed in the end, not to mention the resulting PR disaster. It is time to learn from the Russians and the Germans. The governor and the ANG leadership should be fired with regards to this bulldozer incident. Sitting idle is not in-line with best american tradition! |

Sitting idle is not in-line with best american tradition! Ahhh, just maybe the military isn't generally used to enforce domestic law... Posse Comitatus Act and such, controlling use of army and air force assets in continental US...sort of the idea that the government actually follows the law... Yeah, lets fire 'em all for actually following the law.... no real "Mercun lets little things like law and constitution get in the way of shooting up some domestic bad 'un! -- Jim McLaughlin Please don't just hit the reply key.

Posse Comitatus Act and such
...do not affect the ANG (Air National Guard), of course. You didn't read the very post you replied to! |

Well given the common side effects of Israils use of air to serface missiles, for terminating people who dare to disagree with them, sending in the ANG to blow **** up might well kill more people than letting the idiot drive around for a while. And given that if the missile so much as musses a bystanders hair the county sheriff gets sued for his liver and lungs you can see how they might be a bit reluctant to let the ANG drop bombs all over their town. |

Indeed it *does* affect the Air National Guard. Internal law enforcement is left to the civil authorities. The national guard would not be involved unless the governor of the state orders units to respond. |

The national guard would not be involved unless the governor of the state orders units to respond. Very small nit: In the event of a *total* breakdown of law and order and the *total* inability of *all* local law-enforcement agencies to do their jobs, the Governor *may* declare Martial Law. At that time, he hands over total control of everything within his State to the State Commander of the National Guard (the ANG Commander answers to him). The situation in Granby didn't even equal a pimple on the ass of that size a monster, so it didn't happen. -- The One-and-only Holy Moses™ |

If the Russians had responded to the above incident, their artillery would have destroyed 3 times as many buildings as the enemy, they would have shot down an unsuspecting airliner, and the State of Colorado would be so enraged as to be on the point of secession.
