Well......I`m a rural hick.
I think the point I was trying to make is that the whole article is so clearly one sided and "manufactured" that it is almost see through. It is very obvious that someone pointed the way and steered the direction for the article to have a "desired effect". I don`t beleive it is getting the desired effect, but the oppositie.
The statement about it being another "Waco or Ruby Ridge" says to me.....Killing women and children for no apparent or feasible reason in the case of Waco. Ruby Ridge brings up visions of government backed hired guns shooting a 14 year old in the back, then proceeding to pick off the rest of the family. Cowardice would be a good word for it in my opinion.
I believe the "desired effect" of that statement was included to scare the public in genreal. What it did for me was piss me off.

as for the article... "compouund"? People fear them because they.... they what? Made racist remarks? look like us? Might get into politics? pretty funny really.... heck they even..... (gasp) HOME SCHOOL!!! how can their kids get the normal daily requirement of indoctrinization if they don't go to government school?
I was thinking the same thing. It is pretty hilarious the way it was put. Makes it appear that the things that are being feared are the things that are asked for every citizen to participate in.
The fear factor certainly won`t be coming from the area folks around them. They have nothing to fear. Who does have something to fear from people who decide to pull away from what is considered "mainstream" and unite in numbers? I think the answer to that is obvious. Maybe the "fear" is coming from those who have something to fear IF they decide to , once again, go down this road. The general public is not going to take another Waco or Ruby Ridge sitting down I believe. Well......as a matter of fact.........the public at Ruby Ridge did not in the long run. They got involved . If they had not, nobody would have came out of there breathing.

Just typical fear of the unknown by a bunch of inbreads.
and.......
Get a grip west Texas and mind yer own buisness.
A prime example of the "desired effect". I think it would be considered a very small minority.
By "fear of the unkown by a bunch of inbreads" , as was stated sort of shows the mindset it takes to buy into the article. (It`s inbred btw
)
Also I can guarantee it`s not the people of west Texas that has the problem and needs to "mind yer own business".
It sort of goes off course, but I`m more than a little curious what period of time the people of the south feared the black men.
