William Cooper Killed By Government Agents Put an end to popups!

The author of "Behold A Pale Horse" was killed Nov 5, 2001 in a "confrontation" with government agents outside his home in Arizona. The reason? He apparently owed back taxes and wasn't going to let them take his home I guess, so they killed him.

Of course, I call that murder... Medals awarded to the murderers will be forthcoming...

Osama Bin Laden Killed by Government Forces Get a bigger avatar today!

The son of a Saudi construction tycoon was killed Dec 15, 2001 in a "confrontation" with government forces outside his cave in Afghanistan. The reason? He apparently had some underlings that bombed and rammed some stuff and wasn't going to let them take his cave I guess, so they killed him.

Hmm...so an American citizen who was guilty of not surrendering his home is now comparable to OBL? Why not throw Randy Weaver and the people at Waco in with your rationalizations?

That's all I know at this point. No report of him shooting at anyone. But I wouldn't be surprised if he was holding a weapon when they tried to take his home.

It's people like you that cause these problems to begin with. I'm not a big fan of the government by no means. You get things changed by getting involved with the process not by stockpiling weapons and staring out the windows every so often afraid of the big bad government. It's people like you that give the government all the reasons it wants to pass more and more laws. Your just a whiner. A little whiner.

When weapons are finally outlawed completely, it will be because of you and those like you.

Indeed. The federal government has no business and no right in repossessing anyone's home, in my opinion, except in cases of eminent domain in which case the person must receive "just compensation" (5th Amendment).

How is this any different from a judge ordering your home repossessed because you owe somebody $200 000 according to a private contract? Your home is an asset, and if you have bills you are unable to pay then it can be repossessed. Otherwise you could claim bankruptcy and yet retain all your stuff.

You know, sometimes the only way to get criminals is to send the IRS after them.

Sooooo many crooks have been brought down through tax evasion because that was the only way to do it.

Berzerker,

Please provide a link to this story. I'm sure there are more details we did not get to see. Otherwise, this story is NOT credible.

Floyd,

I have all the facts I need - they claimed he owed them money, they shot him. Anyone familiar with Mr Cooper knows he wouldn't shoot first if at all. But for you folks who already think legalized stealing is okay, why would you doubt the government's version of the incident?

So far, Mr Cooper has been compared with OBL, Tim McVeigh, a criminal, a crook ala Al Capone, and all by people complaining about "facts" not being posted? The information I have is what I posted, I saw a blurb about his death in some magazine.

I'd like to know exactly what I posted about his death (aside from my commentary) is out of context or unfactual/deceitful.

From Cooper's website:
quote:

It appears at this time to be totally unrelated to the disputes he had with the federal government. All we know at this time is that he was shot and killed by an Apache County Sheriff around 12:15 AM Tuesday November 6th, 2001 while serving of an arrest warrant on a local issue. A sheriff was also wounded.

Remain Calm! This is in no way a cause for action.

Do NOT listen to or spread undocumented and unconfirmed RUMORS! If it is not here it is not confirmed as fact. Updates will be posted here as they become available.

His involvment in the "Patriot movement" tends to cast doubt on that assertion, Berz.

No. Can you produce the contract in which he agreed not to shoot random people? They're both prices of living under the protection of your government from foreign enemies and domestic criminals.

On a separate note, I wish they'd managed to kill him before he shot a cop twice in the head. He's an attempted-murdering ******* and got exactly what was coming to him. He owed money to the government of the United States of America (and by extension to every resident of the US), and the government has both a right and a duty to collect from him.

Did Randy Weaver's kid shoot first? His so-called "involvement" with the "Patriot movement" was limited to broadcasting and writing anti-government information, not shooting or bombing government people or buildings. According to the link I provided, he did shoot. Whether or not he shot first or the deputy was hit by his comrades is another matter.

No? No you cannot produce a contract upon which he agreed to pay/owe us money? Then don't give me this BS about him owing us money.

quote:

Did he shoot random people? No, he may have shot someone trying to rob and/or kill him. You've already admitted you cannot produce a contract with his agreement to pay us money so these people were there to rob him, not enforce a non-existent contract.

quote:
They're both prices of living under the protection of your government from foreign enemies and domestic criminals.


If this was all our money was being spent on, he might have been paying taxes all along. My familiarity with him leads me to believe he would have been quite happy to pay the taxes required for these government functions.

quote:

Even if they shot first? Apparently the facts are not as important as you would have us believe. I already know you think stealing is okay when it's the "government" doing the stealing so defending oneself from these thieves wouldn't matter.

quote:
He owed money to the government of the United States of America (and by extension to every resident of the US), and the government has both a right and a duty to collect from him.


But you already admitted you cannot produce any contract, so what you're endorsing here is legalized armed robbery and murder.
