A Disturbing Pattern

If you have seven children and are getting ready to take them to school at shortly after seven in the morning, you had better beware because the Gestspo could well be coming for you! Last week I wrote twice about what happened to Mark Houck in Pennsylvania … a father of seven … armed FBI agents banging on his door at about 7 a.m. … no warning … children crying … handcuffed … whisked away for something that occurred over a year prior. In Mark Houck’s case, to me, it certainly sounded reminiscent of the Gestapo.

Well sport’s fans – it’s happened again! This episode is eerily similar to what happened to Houck, but this time in Tennessee to Paul Vaughn. A father of seven … armed  FBI agents loudly banging on his front door at around 7 a.m. … no warning … children crying … handcuffed … whisked away for something that supposedly occurred over a year prior. Again, with the risk of being repetitive, this also sounds reminiscent of the Gestapo. Is referring to this sort of FBI strong armed tactics as “Gestapo-like a bit harsh? No, I don’t think so as the definition of Gestspo is …

“a secret-police organization employing underhanded and terrorist methods against persons suspected of disloyalty.”

There are a few differences with the Paul Vaughn situation compared to that of Mark Houck … only four armed FBI agents for Vaughn’s abduction compared to about twenty-plus agents for Houck’s. Likewise only two vehicles for Vaughn’s “legal kidnapping,” compared to reportedly about ten-plus vehicles for Houck’s. 

Can anybody explain to me the need to have the flamboyant use of force in either situation? Why 7 a.m when it is guaranteed that the children will be home? Why the loud staccato pounding on the door at 7 a.m.? Why were the FBI agents brandishing weapons? Why handcuffs? In both situations, none of these brash actions by the FBI were necessary! Let me say this again … NONE!

Now you may be thinking that since you do not have seven children, you are safe. Think again! Likewise you may be thinking that because you do not protest at abortion clinics that you are safe from the Gestapo … think again! Be very very wary because if the FBI is allowed to use these strongman tactics for one possible offense, what’s to stop them from using these same tactics on you? … nothing!

I do not know if either Paul Vaughn or Mark Houck is guilty of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. In America that is why we have trials. In America, one is innocent till proven guilty, and even if proven guilty, American citizens do not deserve to  be treated like Mark Houck or Paul Vaughn were treated. All of these strong-armed tactics were unnecessary. All were done purely for intimidation purposes! Shame on the FBI!!

As an aside, perhaps we should be asking what rational person in the DOJ could possibly think that the way these two gentlemen were taken into custody is a good thing for the either the DOJ or the FBI? Even without the video being allowed on Facebook or Twitter, eventually much of the country will either see the video or read how the FBI bullied these two fathers of seven. Is some nefarious individual or individuals purposefully trying to make the FBI look bad? If so, this disturbing pattern is a success!
