‘A burglar is your common, garden variety criminal,”spokesman for the Lowell Police Department Max Cretan observed. “We deal with this kind of problem every day. Sokolowski, on the other hand, is a greater threat. He has dangerous knowledge. And with the equipment he had he could easily assemble bombs. Making bombs is a terrorist activity. Having the means to make bombs is possession of terrorist paraphernalia. That’s against the law.”

“We’re not saying a person can’t own a weapon. But this privilege must be weighed against the state’s need to control access to firearms. So, when a person goes overboard like this we see it as a potentially serious threat to peace and order.”
And this statement was made by a police spokescritter in the state that was the hotbed of liberty around 1775.

Frightening ... and I am NOT referring to Mr. S and his allegedly terrorist paraphernalia.

A bunch of people who work at Los Alamos probably have dangerous knowledge" about how to make a nuclear device, too. Better round 'em all up and charge them with something ... anything ... as a preemptive measure.

I am glad the Lowell MA police will never be in my reloading room. Terrorist paraphernalia? What a bunch of crap!

In some ways, this is the most telling line of the whole article. He's been deemed a threat because he has dangerous knowledge.

Sorry kids - this is problematic.

1. Probably a copyright violation
2. A drive - by with no significant commentary.

Thus, closed and I'm editing out the quotes.
