Criminals don’t generally try to wake up the whole neighborhood when they do criminal things.
This guy does a pretty thorough job as well.
Synopsis: He was buying for resale without an FFL and selling those guns at gun shows without doing a 4473. Hundreds of guns. The markup he was getting was due to the no need to do a 4473. Some guns were recovered in crimes (although three were traffic stops for suspicion of marijuana). He knew the ATF was on to him, but apparently continued.

You assume that's what happened because that's what the ATF said.I wouldn’t call it murder. They went to serve a warrant. He shot at them and they returned fire. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
And yes, f*** the ATF.
If a 6AM raid needed to happen, the BATFE should have rolled a police vehicle up to the front of the house, turned on all the lights and announced over the PA on max volume “This is the ATF executing a search warrant at 123 Main St” and repeated it several times.
This, along with the guys making entry yelling repeatedly “Police Search warrant” “has the effect of letting the citizens inside the house know that that they are not in the middle of a home invasion, and makes it a lot less likely someone will mistakenly get shot.

I am putting a sign out front saying the doors were just replaced so wait down the street and spare my dog.I will make a guess
Guy is getting investigated for something. That something they have evidence and evidence is also in his home
Guy has a home full of firearms
Those firearms and all the evidence, he is not going to randomly flush down the toilet (I mean literally)
I will guess he was living his normal life, coming and going.
Why not just wait until he is getting his morning coffee at Starbucks, grab him, and search the home after
These guys get off on these raids
If you create a situation that is highly likely to result in death or serious injury to a specific person when the logical alternatives have extremely low probability of injury then yes, your true goal was death as an outcome.I wouldn’t call it murder.

They went to serve a "Search Warrant".......NOT and arrest warrant.I wouldn’t call it murder. They went to serve a warrant. He shot at them and they returned fire. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

you may be right, but it was a for profit operation for him, considering the volume: "purchased more than 150 guns between May 2021 and Feb. 27, 2024, which he then resold without a firearms license".I wouldn’t call it murder.

so if he was selling to gangbangers - frankly i see no reason to cry over his fate too much. people like that are the reason why law abiding people are getting raped by atf for no good reason.

Compassion is not my strength“Statist”
The phrase is “equal protection under the law” - maybe the guy is an azzhole but that may never be justification for setting up an execution. Not here anyway.

No, piss poor planning and desire for funding is why law abiding people are getting raped by the ATF for no good reason.you may be right, but it was a for profit operation for him, considering the volume: "purchased more than 150 guns between May 2021 and Feb. 27, 2024, which he then resold without a firearms license".

Heck, dude's day job was as an airport manager, why not just find an excuse to get him to cross over to the secure side of the airport, and arrest him right after he goes through the security checkpoint?Matthew Malinowski said:"The easiest way to have taken care of this situation - the most common way - would be to wait until he gets in his car, pull over and arrest him. Or you wait until he comes to work and you arrest him there."[/I]
No argument from me.Or… maybe just go up to the front door and knock on it. Wait for him to answer. He’s a white collar guy in a prominent position with no record, who is accused of like a few non-violent crimes. It’s not like he can flush guns down the toilet to get rid of evidence.
They apparently didn't have enough for an arrest warrant.Heck, dude's day job was as an airport manager, why not just find an excuse to get him to cross over to the secure side of the airport, and arrest him right after he goes through the security checkpoint?
He was such a dangerous criminal that they... *checks notes* ...didn't even have a warrant for his arrest. Just to search his home, which they could have done without him.you may be right, but it was a for profit operation for him, considering the volume: "purchased more than 150 guns between May 2021 and Feb. 27, 2024, which he then resold without a firearms license".

In fairness... he looks like a nerd... i wouldnt picture him bussin back on a raidIf you create a situation that is highly likely to result in death or serious injury to a specific person when the logical alternatives have extremely low probability of injury then yes, your true goal was death as an outcome.
And if you take an action where the goal is the unjustified death of another that is the definition of murder.
Some people literally just get bored.Absolutely no reason to conduct a SEARCH WARRANT that way. Except all the fedboi goon squads seem to have gotten the memo from HQ that somebody wants it done hard and heavy, whether it's for praying in front of a Planned Parenthood clinic or selling guns without a license.
Why would a guy making over $250,000 (that's $5K a week) on his day job, feel the need to do what he did as a side hustle? Blatantly illegal and sure to bring down the law at some point. Some guys just need the buzz from living dangerously, I guess. And sometimes that ends up with your brain tissue spattered around your living room and your wife and kids without you or your paycheck, dumbass.

Idiot? Yes. Could he have been taken elsewhere, at a different time? Yup. They exercised poor judgement hoping to create a scene and/or "send a message" to people like you and me. JBT's!!!!![]()
