On Friday, April 19, 2013, during a manhunt for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, police and federal agents spent the day storming people’s homes and performing illegal searches in Watertown, a suburb of Boston, MA.
No thanks to the Marxist State Media but thanks to homemade citizen videos like the one below, we can see for ourselves how heavily-armed SWAT police ripped people from their homes at gunpoint, marching the residents out with their hands raised in submission, and then storming the homes to perform their illegal searches.
This was part of a larger operation that involved a total lockdown of Watertown, with a 2010 population numbering 31,915. Roads were barricaded and vehicle traffic was prohibited. A No-Fly Zone was declared over the town. People were “ordered” to stay indoors. Businesses were told not to open. National Guard soldiers helped with the lockdown, and were photographed checking IDs of pedestrians on the streets. All the while, police were performing these warrant-less house-to-house searches.
Attorney Marcus Carey asks that we widely disseminate the videos, via email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. He writes:
“Forget opinions and conspiracy theories, due to modern technology you can trust your own eyes. Watch this shocking video. Then answer this call to action by sharing this with everyone you know.
If you watched the above video what you have just seen is people being ripped from their homes at gunpoint. You saw military uniforms, fully automatic weapons and the full fire power of an organized government trained on ordinary citizens as their homes are entered and searched (likely without a warrant).
What you saw with your own eyes is exactly the kind of force against which our founders fought and the kind of abuses of personal liberty that they sought to prevent with the protections they embedded in the Bill of Rights, specifically the Second Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, the Ninth and the Tenth Amendments.
Now, for additional context. This raid, caught on tape, came as the Manchin/Toomey amendment was about to receive a vote in the Senate. It came within a year of an effort by the supporters of Barack Obama, Diane Feinstein, Joe Biden and many others to outlaw certain firearms, certain magazine capacities and to create a record keeping system which the National Institute of Justice said could only work if there was a national gun registry AND mandatory buy-backs of guns.
It came within a year of the worst shortage of ammunition available to ordinary citizens in the last 50 years. And despite the arguments from the left that our founders could never have envisioned 30 round magazines and AR-15′s, Senator Frank Lautenberg took the opportunity after Boston to call for background checks for the purchase of BLACK POWDER, the exact same propellant used by our founders in their muskets!
See what your eyes tell you. Read the Second and Fourth Amendments. And then remember the words of Patrick Henry:
“The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston!”
It’s Boston, again.”
