1stCavRVN11B sends along this story about a West Virginia veteran<\/a> who was arrested for making, as yet unknown threats;<\/p>\n

While the details of Meadows’ alleged actions have not been made public, Shambaugh said that his prior military background may have played somewhat of a role.<\/p>\n

“Evidently he had been disgruntled with the Veterans Administration and some other veterans’ organizations. And for whatever reason, it went to the point of him making threats,” Shambaugh said.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know the details of his actions, but it must have been credible enough for probable cause for a warrant for whatever he’d said or done,” he said.<\/p>\n

When his name was run through the system, Meadows was not found to have any previous history with law enforcement, Shambaugh said.<\/p>\n

A SWAT team was assembled and team members met at the sheriff’s office with the agents to conduct a briefing before going to Meadow’s residence, which was located 12 miles south of town, near the Virginia line, he said.<\/p>\n

“We took extra precautions because he is a veteran and has had weapons training, so we felt it was better to err on the side of caution,” Shambaugh said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, he may have been a threat for all I know but how many times can you count in that article that they mention he was dangerous and the threat was credible because he’s a veteran? They took him at 1:45 in the afternoon while he was sleeping on his couch on a Thursday. He’s never been arrested before, but they needed a SWAT team?<\/p>\n

I’m feeling a little disgruntled myself. Where was the concern while Carlos Bledsoe was buying an SKS under the scrutiny of the FBI? <\/p>\n

Bledsoe pleads not guilty<\/a> today, by the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
