Re: AR: Elderly lawyer shot while deputies served warrant

It is all summed up in the one fact. He pointed 2 guns at LEOs. It does not matter if the warent was for traffic or bank robbery, he pointed 2 guns at the officers.

The argument against the Game Wardens & # of officers is no good either. Pretty evident they know who they were going to see. Game Warden most probably knew the woods & area better than the other officers.

Re: AR: Elderly lawyer shot while deputies served warrant

Been a long time since I lived there but Bethsaida Baptist Church in Ida, La, was my first church to pastor. Lot of that area used to be in dispute 50 yrs ago. In 1974 there was still a lot of talk about different lines, including the state line. There is an area there around Caddo Lake that is stilled known officially as Uncertain, Texas.

Depending on how long the disputed line is, a few dozen feet can amount to a lot of land. Takes at leas 3 around here to be a few. More like 4-5. 48 ft by say 10 acres long is a sizable land dispute & when I was there in late 70s there were still several of those being regularly talked about. I remember a few that were over corner servey stakes being moved in areas where the land boundries were not tree marked. Those were real trouble sometimes.

Dont remember him by name but he is old enough to have been active at that date.

Bottom line on whether or not it may be another "Eric Scot" NO, Pointing 2 guns at LEOs is not the way to hash that out. Especially for a lawyer.
