ORIGINAL: jlf1961 Furthermore, the Sovereign Citizen movement has some rather interesting followers, Terry Nichols, (friend and accomplice of Oklahoma City Federal Building bomber Timothy McVeigh) Linda Lyon Block and George Sibley (who murdered an Opelika, Alabama, police officer,) George Wolf (shot two volunteer firefighters in Ashtabula County, Ohio, because their vehicle blocked him,) the Montana Freemen (held off federal authorities attempting to arrest them (on a variety of charges) for 81 days near Jordan, Montana,) Richard McLaren (his group of followers, the so-called "Republic of Texas" initiated another armed confrontation in far-West Texas when they kidnapped a local couple in response to the arrest of one of their members. One of the group's members was killed in the standoff.) Yeh that is really to bad that the thugs would infringe on peoples rights and force them to take up arms against them. There are your words, Real, clearly you condone the murder of a police officer who was just doing his job. Oh, just to make sure you have all the facts: quote:
Block, 54, and her common-law husband, George Sibley Jr., were on the run after failing to appear on a domestic battery charge. At trial, Sibley and Block, who has said she prefers the name Lynda Lyon, said they fired at Motley and his patrol car in self- defense after the officer touched his holster. But witnesses said Sibley fired shots first and Block joined in the shootout after the officer was wounded. quote:
Block, 54, and her common-law husband, George Sibley Jr., were on the run after failing to appear on a domestic battery charge. With Block's 9 year old son in the car, they stopped so Block could use the telephone in a Walmart parking lot. Opelika Police Sergeant Roger Lamar Motley had just finished lunch and was shopping for supplies for the jail when a woman came up to him and told him there was a car in the parking lot with a little boy inside. The woman was worried about him. She was afraid that the family was living in their car. Would he check on them? Motley cruised up and down the rows of parked cars and finally pulled up behind the Mustang. Sibley was in the car with the boy, waiting for Block to finish a call to a friend from a pay phone in front of the store. Motley asked Sibley for his drivers license. Sibley said he didn't need one. He was trying to explain why when Motley put his hand on his service revolver. Sibley reached into the car and pulled out a gun. Motley uttered a four-letter expletive and spun away to take cover behind his cruiser. Sibley crouched by the bumper of the Mustang. People in the parking lot screamed, hid beneath their cars and ran back into the store as the men began firing at each other. Preoccupied by the threat in front of him, Motley did not see Lynda Block until the very last moment. She had dropped the phone, pulling the 9mm Glock pistol from her bag as she ran toward the scene, firing. Motley turned. She remembered later how surprised he looked. She kept on firing. She could tell that a bullet struck him in the chest. Staggering, he reached into the cruiser. She kept on firing, thinking he was trying to get a shotgun. But he was grabbing for the radio. "Double zero," he managed to say -- the code for help. He died in a nearby hospital that afternoon. In letters to friends and supporters, Block later would describe Motley as a "bad cop" and a wife beater with multiple complaints against him. As part of the conspiracy against her, she said, she was prohibited from bringing up his record in court. His personnel file makes no mention of any misbehavior. His wife says he was a kind and patient man. Both Block and Sibley received deeath sentences. True to their "patriot" ideologies, Block waived her appeals. She has refused to accept the validity of Alabama’s judicial system, claiming that Alabama never became a state again after the Civil War. She has been completely non-cooperative with her court-appointed attorney, who nevertheless attempted to work against her death sentence. First execution of a female in Alabama since 1957. She is the 9th female executed in the U.S. since reinstatement of the death penalty in 1976. Now, tell me if you condone the act of these two in the murder of this officer who had not drawn his weapon. While I am sure you will be more than willing to insult me some more, there was no justification for shooting this officer.
