Police Chief Mark Kessler claims nutty videos were all a sting

He claims the Feds put him up to it, and it helped them catch some terrorists.



The ATF is no brain trust, but it seems doubtful that even the dumbest federales would have a cop go out and say, "Hey, I'm a cop! Tell me about all the illegal stuff you wanna do!"

He's full of crap. Those videos never resulted in a single conviction.
I shall not die alone, alone, but kin to all the powers,
As merry as the ancient sun and fighting like the flowers.

Given the stupidity that the BATFEI-EI-O have done in the past, his story isn't that much of a stretch. 

All it takes is one juror to believe that story and he's free.  So having a lawyer trot out all of the BATFE's "Stings" and other operations is a pretty good defense.


However, I probably wouldn't be that one juror....
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
