Predator drone used against American on US soil
The worst thing is he is going to the slam from not allowing the cops to invade his property. Oh, and the original charges were dropped, so everything he is convicted of is a result of the government instigating the situation.

Using the Navy or the Marines would not be technically against the law. I don't know about the Air Force as I don't think it existed when that law was passed.| Permalink
