It&#8217;s not a pretty picture in and of itself, seems certain &#8220;experts&#8221; are using the tragic event to push their own agenda. If this sounds familiar, it is. Dancing in the blood of the innocent, and in this case, the guilty as well, is a common tactic with those who take away our rights under the Constitution. Read on:<\/p>\n<p>By Judy L. Thomas<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/kansas-2-Madden-_fitted-e1556747943880.jpeg\" alt=\"david madden\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>David L. Madden, an ex-Marine and suspect in a 2015 missing person case, shot a Rice County sheriff and undersheriff Monday. He shot himself and killed his father at his father\u2019s home near Raymond, Kansas. By Chance Swaim<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The suspect in the shootings Monday of a central Kansas sheriff and undersheriff was a former Marine who once kept an AK-47 machine gun under his bed and stored two dozen pipe bombs and other explosive materials on his property, federal court documents reveal.<\/p>\n<p>David L. Madden, of Alden, Kansas, was found dead in the home of his father at 12:10 a.m. Tuesday after a 6 1\/2\u2013hour standoff with authorities. Madden\u2019s father, Thomas Madden, of nearby Raymond, Kansas, also was found shot to death in the home.<\/p>\n<p>The harrowing event that put many rural Kansas communities on edge played out on the same day that federal authorities in California accused a U.S. Army veteran of plotting a terrorist attack in Southern California. And it came less than three months after prosecutors in Maryland accused a Coast Guard officer of being a \u201cdomestic terrorist\u201d who was amassing an arsenal of weapons and drawing up a hit list that included prominent Democrats, two Supreme Court justices and television journalists.<\/p>\n<p>The mounting cases of violent acts involving veterans of the armed forces continue to raise concerns among those who monitor extremists, and some say the military isn\u2019t doing enough to root them out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Department of Defense is a very large organization with over a million people in it,\u201d said Daryl Johnson, a former senior analyst with the Department of Homeland Security. \u201cSo a very small percentage of them are going to be reflective of society, and have some extremists in their ranks. But that equates to a few thousand people. And these are people with access to classified information, with special military training in weaponry and the arts of warfare, and some have combat experience. Even one is too much.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So there you have it. Military service paints us all with the domestic terror brush- look, three incidents in under three months! Something  must be done to halt this epidemic. And people like Johnson know exactly what that should be.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, Master Chief.
