Notice the trend of drugs being included?
And what's up with the neighbor? Not a good one if you ask me! Then again, we don't the whole story either, maybe this guy wasn't the good neighbor, but damn it still gets to me. |

Another "Brown Shirt" "Neighbor" fanning the flames. Thank God, I don't have any neighbors. At least the "Neighbor" didn't say "I'm sure that I have seen him and others go in and out of the house with Semi-Automatic Machine Guns"

What's up with slamming the neighbor? It didn't say she turned him in, it just said she is getting the hell out of Dodge until this is over. Should she stay and perhaps get hit by a stray round?
If this guy is running a meth lab, are you still going to support him? It seems that most here are against drugs, so there should be very little support for this guy if he really is running a meth lab. |

If it really is a meth lab and they burn him out, there could be a very nasty surprise. In fact, if it really is a meth lab, they may not burn him down out of fear of the big kaboom. |

Funny how everybody they want has a Meth lab or is dealing drugs. I don't know about this guy one way or the other, but I don't believe a damn word those f$%#ers say. It wouldn't surprise me if he was just a regular guy like us that somehow got on their radar. Allegations of drugs opens up lots of avenues for the Feds. Remember the famous Meth lab at Waco?

"We're executing this warrant. We're going to stay here until we make a safe
conclusion and an end of the whole operation," says Larry Scott, an ATF spokesman. Translation... turn the camera off so we can torch the house and execute the suspect. I just hope they do find meth and this doesn't turn into another goat screw. |

Yup, Meth is nasty shit and I unlike almost everyone here speak from experience because I have done it before, chances are anyone that has probably won't admit it.
I have one question???????? When did ATF start enforcing DRUG laws????? The ATF has fuckin zero authority over a "meth lab" This is bullshit and stinks to high heaven, I reckon thats why they are prepared to only wait it out till the weekend. The commy fucks don't wanna waste too much time. Destroying lives or not, ATF does not have have the authority to serve a warrant on drug charges, it is not in their power. If the guy is a pusher or not isnt the question here. Remember in Waco the ATF pulled the "meth lab" "child molester" cards, everyone seems to forget that ATF does not have jurisdiction over that. |

Exactly, the so called "war on drugs" is the perfect excuse to make criminals out of almost everyone. Shop at a plant store???= drug dealer, carry cash???= drug dealer, carry cash denominations in (1,5,10,20,50,100)???=drug dealer. Those examples were just the tip of the iceburg, it sounds messed up but people have gone to prison for owning blacklights and carrying too much cash in a airport..etc. The best part is they have the moral authority. As long as people think drug dealers are the problem it will never go away..... Remember there is no supply without a demand and for every pusher you take off of the street corner there are 8 guys shooting each other to take that very same pushers spot. Look for a book by James Brovard called The Destruction of Civil Liberties. It's a real eye opener and a must read for any of us. |

But to answer your question, if you got a Meth Lab right next door to me, yes, I'll be upset. Now if you want to dig a hole in your back yard and put your lab underground, fine. And oh yeah, by the way, I don't want to hear car doors slamming all hours of the night either. There are limits, none that I see would apply in this situation if [b]in fact[/b] this guy really has a Meth lab in his house. As far as I'm concerned all their allegations are bullshit until I see the actual proof with my own eyes or he willing admits it. |

It' more than a big Kaboom! There are potential envoronmental havards that could well go beyond boom. The byproducts of fire on chemicals is nasty ... I believe a potential byproduct it phosphine gas. The odor threshold for phosephine would put you in IDLH (immediatle dangerouse to life and health) before you can smell it. The acids and bases required if spilled can contaminate soil and groundwater. Not to metion they are most often kept in plastic bottls and last I checked meth labs were not required to be OSHA certified. Unfortunetly these zipperheads usually light themselves on fire. They dont require any help from the government |

The meth lab bullshit is just another LEO canard to steal more of our rights. I don't give a shit how dangerous a drug is anymore, I don't want them to enforce these draconian laws anymore, PERIOD. They're tearing this country apart. Having drug addicted people is bad, but the remedy, like Prohibition, is worse.
Plus, every time I turn around, I hear "meth lab" on tv. So I know it's just another power grab by law enforcement, a way to justify SWAT raids and mass murder. The downward slide is really picking up speed now. Better go buy *a lot* of ammo. |

But you have to think of the peer pressure that is involved when you are still an adolescent. I do have personal experience with this drug. I am Four years, nine months and eight days clean. Let me clarify that when I stated the person involved was destroying society, what I really meant was that the drug is destroying society. Also, I live in Contra Costa County which is damn near the meth capital of the world, which means that unless you and your friends are completely straight edge you most likely know someone who has destroyed their life when using this vile drug. This is also the reason why I don't associate with alot of my old friends. Alex [V] |

The ATF has fuckin zero authority over a "meth lab" 101_Proof, The ATF usually works in conjunction with other agencies when you have varying laws being broken. Doesn't matter who discovered what when, whether it was local LE who had PC on the drugs or DEA or whether the ATF had PC on illegal weapons. They can and do work together. BTW, meth is a disturbing drug and ALWAYS begets violence, in my professional experience. The guys that I have represented in federal court who get clean are like different people and they often are disgusted with their former selves. I have no idea if he's guilty or not so I won't make a judgement on this guy. |

From what I've seen in my federal practice, the people caught and the meth destroyed are but a small percentage of what's out there. They don't need a red herring to conduct LE in this area. I don't give a shit how dangerous a drug is anymore If you could see what I've seen, you would not say that. I have no sympathy for these people and they should NOT be giving gunowners a bad name. Don't make them your poster children. The travesties are anomolies, NOT THE NORM. Wake up and stop believing the hype. The gun laws in this country are gross and have gone too far, however, fighting them by sticking up for meth peddlers is not the answer. |

Unfortunetly these zipperheads usually light themselves on fire. They dont require any help from the government I didn't read any more about it than what was posted here, but does a 43-year-old named Jamie Schwartz qualify as a zipperhead? I much prefer the term wigger. Wiggers usually light themselves on fire. [;)] About everything Meth does to society and people in general said here I can agree with. All the experience I have had with it involved people I would NOT like to know on a personal basis. And yes, if you don't want to do it, don't. Dealers are a VERY big influence, but they usually don't tie anyone up and force drugs on them. It all starts with mommy and daddy saying "don't do this". Then the individual takes responsibility and makes a decision when presented with it, THEN the finger goes to the dealers, who help create a demand and provide the supply. |

No mater how silly some of the gun laws are, they are still the law. These drug dealers have no right to possess any weapon in my book. They are evil, cowardly, and probably inbred.

Would it concern you? One person taking drugs effects everyone around them. Don't fool yourself into thinking it is only harmful to the person doing it.

Looks like he surrendered.
[url]http://www.newstribune.com/stories/090901/sta_0909010070.asp[/url] [size=4][b]Salem man arrested after two day standoff with federal, state authorities [/b][/size=4] SALEM, Mo. (AP) -- A man who was holed up in a home north of Salem was arrested without incident Saturday afternoon by officers who entered the house nearly 48 hours after a standoff began. The suspect offered no resistance when about 20 federal agents entered his home, said Mark James, special agent in charge of the Kansas City office of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Authorities would not say who lived in the home, but relatives and neighbors identified the resident as 43-year-old James "Jamie" Schwartz. The standoff began Thursday afternoon at the home about eight miles north of Salem on Missouri 68 when agents tried to serve a federal search warrant and an occupant refused to come out. A woman left the home Thursday shortly after officers arrived. James would not say where she was or if she had been arrested. No children were in the home when officers arrived. James said he could not discuss what prompted the search warrant because it had been sealed by a judge. He would say only that agents "found what we were looking for." Denton County Sheriff Bob Wofford said his department had previous contact with the suspect but he declined to elaborate. "We knew there was activity here," Wofford said. The suspect is expected to be arraigned before a federal magistrate in St. Louis, possibly as early as Monday, James said. A team of 12 negotiators had been unsuccessful in contacting the man throughout the siege, despite using bullhorns, a telephone and robots equipped with audio and visual capabilities. James said officers decided to enter the home in part because they were concerned about the man's condition. "The individual would not answer us or respond to us," James said. About 100 officers, including some from U.S. Customs, surrounded the home throughout the standoff. Portions of Missouri 68 were closed and two homes located nearby were evacuated. James said the inconvenience caused by the standoff also was a factor in deciding to enter the home. Mike and Mary Mrozowicz, who live in a nearby home that was not evacuated, said the ranch-style house also has a mobile home on the property. The Mrozowiczes said they've seen men wearing camouflage clothing and helmets hiding in the nearby woods with guns. They said they've seen agents coming and going over the last couple of days, but the agents weren't giving area residents any clues what they were doing there. The warrant was ordered out of the eastern district of Missouri. Jan Diltz, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in St. Louis, said she could not discuss the warrant. |

Jamie Scwhartz has been convicted on drug charges in the past.
The warrants are sealed, so no one is saying what the ATF is looking for - meth is speculation, though not improbable. However, if he is anything like his father, he is a smart ass that does whatever he wants. |

Someone that it pro-gun, but als pro War on Drugs explain to me how you can say it's not the guns fault or the gun manufacturers fault but the person, but then turn around and blame the drug or the drug dealer. I'm pro gun and pro war on drugs. And I'll explain it to ya. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Guns are to be used responsibly. Guns aren't going to make you walk into a school or a McDonalds and start shooting. But drugs can cause you to do things you would not do sober. Lets say you had two friends. One is a responsible gun owner and the other is a meth addict. Which one would you let babysit your kids? Would you rather drop your kids off for the night to stay with A) The reponsible gun owner or B) The strung out meth addict? Would you trust a drunk to drive you home safely after a party? Or someone sober who has a CCW permit. Would you trust a doctor to operate on you after taking a hit of acid? Or a doctor that has a gun collection for his hobie. Guns are just inanimate objects. Drugs alter your mind and cause you to do things you wouldn't normaly do sober. Do you teach your children responsible gun safty are do you try and teach them responsible drug use? There is no such thing as responsible drug use. I hope this clears things up a bit. If not I'd be more than happy to talk with you some more. |

Quoted: Not defending druggies, cause I hate them, but I'm willing to bet that a meth lab is not any more of an environmental threat to the surrounding area than your local hardware store. Don't believe, don't believe, don't believe the hype. have you ever cleaned out a lab? Have you ever one seen HCl cylinders plumbed with plastic tubing at your hardware store? These guys dont even need a scrubber to be complient. How much sodium hydroxide is at orchard.. Are people intentionally causeing chemichal reactions at orchard? I have never seen anybody basifying an acid solution next to the godamn plumbing dept! 7 years in hazmat I've never seen a worse mess than a meth lab |

Operating on somebody while under the influence is a crime. Murder, rape, and robbery are crimes. Doing drugs should not be a crime. When drugs were made a crime, it created a black market, so we still have the exact same drug problems, but now we have all the black marketeers killing each other to control the black market too. I personally don't like drugs and the way that families are destroyed by them, but prohibition is not the answer. I thought we had already learned that lesson? The thing that makes me angry is how much freedom we have given up in the name of the drug war. Illegal search and seizure, forfeiture, no knock warrants, and god knows what else. Dealing with the addiction and crime problems directly related to drug use is difficult enough, but the extra crime that comes along with the black market is unmanageable. I don't know the answer, but I can tell you one thing for certain. The war on drugs is NOT the answer. |
