Terrorism has hit home

It has been a long long time since I have written anything. I have been so busy helping my brother getting his new home ready to move into. Today is a day of sadness. We mourn the loss of 2 of our officers and friends who were ambushed and killed. Im sitting here thinking what would cause this. Yes this was an act of terrorism. A young man from the plains got his head all twisted up into thinking that anyone who opposed his thinking would be dealt with and any cop he sees will be killed on sight. He made what is considered to be terrorism threats to police in Kansas after being in a bar in Nebraska. From there he went to Shreveport Louisiana and met up with the Smith family and began to stock pile guns. The authorities had set up a surveillance team in the trailer court to keep an eye on them. Its not clear if they robbed the laundromat or if someone else did but the sign of police in their trailer court caused the smith family and this terrorist to move to my semi-sleepy little town. We have had our share of trouble here. After all we are close to New Orleans. This has taken everyone by our ears and shaken us to the core of our beings. This wasnt drugs or someone on a rampage from a domestic problem. This was calculated murder of police officers. They engaged gunfire on unsuspecting traffic cops directing traffic. They knew the officers would be there, they are there every morning and afternoon for shift change at the plant. What they didnt know is that our officers and civilians alike dont put up with law breakers. A civilian was key in helping to locate the car after it sped away. Two officers died during the ambush while trying to make an arrest of unarmed suspects. The two officers who were originally fired on will survive. Louisiana doesnt play. We WILL shoot you if you cross a line. We will defend our property and we will make sure that justice is served. We have the long arm of the law and we have long memories. We will mourn our dead for generations and we will never forget. You can bet that these terrorists will not only get the death penalty, they will be haunted by every family member, dead and alive, affected by these tragic deaths. You ran for a year Kyle Joekel, you got your wish, you killed a couple of cops. May you know the kind of pain you caused and may Louisiana take no mercy on your life or soul. ...and to the Smith family, I have no words for a resident that would kill the people who protected you. You are scum. You know whats coming to you. You provided the guns to a terrorist. You should be tried and hung for treason and then spat on after death. In writing this blog I can see my sorrow turning to anger. Anger that doesnt do a thing to help the six children who had fathers two days ago and dont now. In these tough times I sure hope we can help the widows with thier up and coming struggles. ....I must try to remain focused.... To all you Savage Nation, Rush Limbaugh types... is this what you wanted? Children without fathers? Wives without husbands? you talk and talk and talk about anarchy and govt take over but you dont think about the people. you are creating extremists which is causing the govt to crack down even harder.
