armed with RAID?

it turns out that guy who drove a tractor into the pond at the washington monument a few months back wasn't armed with anything more than roach killer.

and just so you don't blow him off as a complete lunatic, the guy was military police and a tobacco farmer, and was trying to talk to his congressman.

I feel for the guy...he just got frustrated with the fact that our government doesn't listen to the people. he has some legitimate gripes.

on the other hand, we don't want to encourage everyone to act like he did when you get frustrated with the government.

I think he would have been better off if he had gotten a "million farmers" to march on washington...one man acting "civilly disobedient" alone can be criminal, but a million folks doing it is a movement.

UPDATE: read the criminal complaint (findlaw pdf)
