SWAT team shoots and kills one of the oldest men in America - an 107-year-old man who barricaded himself in his room and shot at officers trying to enter

Being that old he was taught the true meaning of the documents that founded this nation. Not what government controlled school teachers are teaching them with books provided by the Federal Reserve. As the Second Amendment gives the state the right to form a militia which isn't needed any longer since the forming of the National Guard. He also understood what his rights and duty was as an American Seeing one too many videos with idiots chanting O Bomb a, O Bomb a, O Bomb a. Together with seeing the same tyrant taking this nation apart for 5 years he did his duty instead of being the Progressive coward as the rest of the nation. A TRUE PATRIOT.

He wanted to go out in blaze of glory. The swat team helped him out.

Threatening two people in HIS home? We are not being told the whole story...probably to protect these scuzball cops who clearly did not have to kill him. Militarize the police and you get cops that will kill anybody and some up with something to justify it...

The dude was 107 years old, couldn't they have waited 20 minutes more until he died of natural causes?

I think he wanted to die and chose to go out with a bang.

The increasing militarization of our police is only symptomatic of an ideological shift: We've sacrificed civil society and liberty for temporary safety. Police and military are not problem solvers. You can ask them to solve a problem but you won't like the results. They specialize in "stopping" things. They are not the custodians of civilization; they are not creative thinkers. They only know how to stop things. Germany was handed over to such people - and they were most THOROUGHLY stopped. And that will be the legacy of the United States. What a sad day for our republic. RIP old man.

A proud day for those "hero's" in blue. This is what happens when Cops are replaced with the Military. Makes your stomach turn.

I googled the address, and this was the guy's own house. Some questions need to be answered: who were the two people the police told to leave? If they were relatives or lived there, the articles about this would say so. Therefore they were intruders. Obviously, the old man felt very threatened by them and tried to make them leave. Since the police had to force them to leave, they must not have felt very threatened (unlike the big bad cops). Why aren't we hearing more about these intruders who were scaring the old guy? Also, since when it is a capital offense to lock yourself in your own bedroom? He didn't actually shoot anyone, unlike the big bad cops.

I'd like to know who the two people they mentioned being in the home were. Why was he threatening them with a gun, and were they trespassing. Maybe a couple of cronies from DHS wanting to haul him to an old folks home?

Couldn't they have just waited for him to take his nap??
