Loughner Family Blocks FBI Agents From Home
2011-01-11
The story gets even creepier.
The family of Jared Loughner barricaded themselves inside their Tucson home Monday and refused to allow FBI agents inside to continue an investigation into a deadly Saturday shooting, the Arizona Republic reported.

FBI agents attempted to gain access to the house at 12:25 p.m. Mountain time only to discover the family had erected a plywood barricade blocking access to the front porch. The family refused access to the agents, who banged on the barricade, yelling, "This is the FBI. Let us in," according to the newspaper.

It is unclear why the family would try to block access to the house, which law enforcement officials searched over the weekend.
Also unclear why the FBI went back.
I saw in another version of the story that a newscritter had snuck into the gardem earlier in the day.

#6  I would submit that A SENSATIONALIST MEDIA might have smidg of blame leveled at them in this nightmare.

Indeed, 746. From the moment they starting blaming Sarah Palin for it.

#4  It was against the press, who wouldn't stop banging on their doors, peering through windows, calling on the phone, etc.

Meanwhile his mother could not even get out of bed, and his father was sobbing uncontrollably. They even asked a neighbor to pick up and deliver their mail for them, and he ended up crying with them in their miserable state, though he didn't know them very well.

#3  If when you say "Stormtroopers" you mean the PRESS, you are correct. Apparently they told the FBI to go around back where they were let in.

I probably would have put rocksalt in a couple of those Press SOB's by now.

#2  Or maybe they don't like stormtroopers dirtying-up the place.
Let those federal shitbags get a second warrant if they want to look around.

The proprieties please.
The FBI aren't stormtroopers.
