"A man shooting birds with a BB gun sparked a police response that closed down a section of South Hampton Avenue north of Walnut Street."
"Springfield Police responded in force ... after receiving a report of a man behind the Child Advocacy Center, 'lying in the weeds with a rifle,' said Sgt. Randall Latch." ...
"... It took several more minutes to coax a third man from the house where the rifle-wielder was spotted."
"Once inside, officers located the BB gun in a closet. Latch said the gun was an older model that could be easily mistaken for the real thing." ...
"Latch said the three residents of the house likely would be issued tickets for disturbing the peace. 'They seem pretty remorseful at this point,' he said." |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
