    I sent this to almost everyone in my addressbook

    "Just how long are decent REAL AMERICANS going to tolerate being abuse by these lowlife types who have absolutely no concern for others' lives, property and/or rights.

    THESE PEOPLE COMMITTED NO CRIMES OF ANY KIND.

    THEY WERE IN THEIR HOMES!!

    What will YOU do when this happens to YOU?

    If you think they won't do it to YOU, you are out of touch with reality.

    Watch the videos and look at the sorts of decent people whose homes they invaded!!

    These people did NOTHING.

    Some of you will say "so what".

    I HOPE they do this to those of you who will say that.

    Do YOU have glass bottles, cardboard or paint thinner in YOUR home?

    Then you are as "guilty" are these innocent human beings are.

    Do invasions and imprisonments like this raise your level of esteem for these gangsters with badges?

    BULLSHIT!!"
