Chapter 246 The foundation of the American nation
It takes more than two hours for a Gulfstream business jet to fly from Los Angeles to Great Falls. However, Rossi was not very lucky today. He lost two rounds in a row and pushed his cards. He stood up and made room for Red.
“Who can tell me why the report said that the murderer had a loaded gun in his hand but did not choose to resist but detonated the grenade directly?”
“ Touch." Hotchner hit a pair of Dongfeng and took a sip of coffee.
As a good husband, he has to help his wife take care of their newborn son every night. During this time, he is usually exhausted during the day, so he has coffee "exemption".
"Because he wants to make a name for himself, be remembered, and recruit a few more police officers to support him. There are many members of militia groups like Montana."
"They are keen to promote resistance and hate the federal government. They will take the initiative Join the army, gain military experience, and then start hoarding weapons after retiring and establishing various military organizations claiming to resist the ZF."
Obviously, Hotchner has had a lot of experience in dealing with these guys.
Hearing him mention the militia organization, everyone present looked unhappy. In the history of this country, the concept of "militia organization" originated at the beginning of the founding of the country.
During the Revolutionary War, it was nominally relying on the "militia" power of the thirteen North American states to defeat the British and successfully make this colony independent from the mother country. (The French cry to death)
The subsequent massacres of Indians, the Civil War, and even the main force in the Mexican-American War were actually, strictly speaking, the army united by the "militia" of each state.
In 1824, these "militiamen" in each state were renamed the National Guard, but they still belonged to the states. It was not until 1903 that the United States had a regular army that truly belonged to the federal government. It is the predecessor of today's US military.
Since the "militia" has become the foundation of the country, it naturally leads to the emergence of some very interesting concepts.
At that time, the founders of this country proposed that the power to establish armed forces should be given to the states. The standing army of the federal government was a threat to the autonomy of the states and was inconsistent with the country’s federal concept. is contradictory.
This leads to people’s perception that the history of militia organizations is much longer than that of the United States, and the importance of militia organizations is no less important than their identification with the country.
By the 1960s, some movements and ideological trends in the United States were on the rise again. Not only were the Z-wings dissatisfied with the country, but many Y-wings also came out to join in the fun, saying they wanted to resist ZF violence. You are too indulgent of these Z-wings.
So in the 1970s, the "militia" movement made a comeback again. These "militia" organizations spontaneously organized by the people had both Y-wing and Z-wing, which made old Americans have complicated feelings.
Because as long as these organizations do not actually cause trouble and just shout slogans, it is not illegal. Even the relationship between most "militia" organizations and the local government is very good.
But in the 1990s, because of these "militia" organizations, a series of major incidents occurred in the United States, one of which was a manslaughter case that brought shame to the federal police, including the FBI. .
In the early 1990s, a certain big shot who liked to shit his crotch in public became the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. This man was also a strongman at the time, and he carried out severe crackdowns on cult gangs and restless figures in the country at that time.
At that time, the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms) felt that it was shameful that Randy Weaver, a member of the "militia" organization, failed to enforce the law on fishing, and issued a subpoena to him through the court on the charge of private rehabilitation and coercion.
As a result, the date of the summons was written incorrectly. It was one month different from the actual date, resulting in Randy Weaver not appearing in court on time.
The court, which did not realize its mistake, sent a group of three federal marshals to arrest Randy Weaver. As a result, near the farm at Ruby Ridge, they met Shan, the 14-year-old eldest son of the Weaver family who was hunting with dogs. rice.
The nervous bailiff shot one of the hunting dogs directly, and a gun battle broke out. A bailiff and Weaver's eldest son Sammy died on the spot. The bailiff believed that the Weaver family was resisting arrest and that a colleague had died in the line of duty, so they dispatched an action team with great fanfare and notified the FBI.
The FBI, who did not know what was going on, also dispatched helicopters and snipers to surround the Weaver family on Ruby Ridge.
Weaver's wife opened the door for her husband with her baby in her arms, but was shot in the head by an FBI sniper, causing tragedy.
Further on, there are the famous "Waco Massacre" and the resulting "Oklahoma City Bombing", all of which are closely related to the "militia" organization.
These incidents make all the FBI agents present here feel very sad, and they are very worried about these guys who are either involved with the cult or have some serious brain problems.
"Let the local police send forensic evidence such as the murderer's dental records to Garcia, and we will determine the specific identity of the deceased, especially focusing on the murderer's military experience."
Rosie said to Jiejie, who immediately picked up the phone to contact her.
"After getting off the plane, I will go to the explosion site first and get acquainted with the local police." Hotchner pushed the card to indicate that he was messing up.
"Jack and Jiejie went to the kidnapping scene to see if they could talk to the victim's husband."
The plane began to slowly descend, and everyone began to clear away the mahjong on the table. Card.
"The rest of you, set up a temporary office when you get there, guide the local police in the search according to Dr. Reid's map, and be mentally prepared, we won't be too popular."
——
As soon as he got off the plane, Garcia called. It seemed that her progress was going smoothly. Jack stopped quickly, raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and opened the external speaker.
"Hey, baby, those little toys you gave me are so cute. I will pamper them every night before going to bed."
Jack was so excited by Garcia's call Listening to the black line on her forehead, what's all this and what? This eldest sister won't be able to speak well if she doesn't use her H accent every day, right?
“You mean those baby panda ornaments you brought home that won’t fit on the table? No problem, I’ll make you something larger next time. I guarantee you’ll love it so much that you won’t touch it every night. I can’t bear to sleep.”
Jack was not to be outdone. The two girls on the side were fine, but they glared at Hotchner, who had always been rigid.
“Let’s get down to business, Garcia. I won’t hinder your continued communication after the case is over.”
“Good boss, Francis Goering, 42 years old, once served in the army. In 2006, he was ordered to retire due to bad behavior, the most serious of which was being arrested for causing riot in a bar. "At that time, three people were seriously injured and hospitalized. His information is also included in the federal database because he joined er. radicals. Militia organization."
"Radical militia organization?" Jiejie repeated these words one by one, with an expression as if she was right by you guys.
In order not to be criticized, and to prevent others from saying that I copied the encyclopedia, you should search for the events mentioned in the book yourself. They are quite interesting.
