Security tightened in Bracken courthouse

Its about time. At the last zoning meeting several people were in the courtroom carrying concealed guns including the Bradford man who was shot by state police later. We better all be glad he did not loose control at that meeting. How many people could have been shot.

Haha, "Lee"! You and deceived people like you don't realize the 2nd Amendment is the only amendment that enforces your rights. Slaves don't own guns! I would gladly die for the right to carry and bear arms, including Mr. Bradford's rights, God rest his soul. But go ahead and continue to be a sheep. You seem so darn good at it. If you were a student of history, you would know that Hitler was anti-gun also. You would also know criminals prefer unarmed victims. But God bless your right to freedom of speech. I would gladly die for your right to exercise it using OUR 2nd Amendment.

I do not know where you get that Mr. Bradford is responsible for anything to do with the zoning. You need to get your facts straight. Because unless you where there that night the fire was set or at Mr. Bradford's home the night the police took his life, you should keep your mouth shut. That is why people need to keep there nose in their own bussiness.

to mr.know it all . the police didn't take mr.bradford's life , he took his own when he came after them with the track hoe .

No, the police took Mr Bradfords life! The whole damm thing was blown way out of proportion!

If he was coming at you with that would you have shot at him or just move out of the way? he had a gun with him also

Seems like moving out of the way would be an alternative.

GREAT

Mr. Bradford had problems and instead of trying to talk him down like the police should have the moron Deputy panicked & his Marine training kicked in and as in other instances instead of dealing with the situation, the family was not allowed to go talk to him. If the sheriff had gotten his fat hind end out of bed instead of refusing the call, Oh I'm sorry he never shows. Mr Bradford called a close friend said he needed to talk to him and they wouldn't allow him to talk to Rob. If any of the crooked sheriffs department have any form of training in stand offs they would realize that you attempt to talk to the person and work for a peaceful stand off. They didn't, Rob Bradford had no involvement in the incident of the zoning. I know that for a fact, & the police gave him no choice. He came out 0r they were going after him, with Herb hiding behind someone. He had a depression problem, I do not believe he had any plan to commit suicide & you can't drive a rear end loader & hold a gun. it is large but it goes very slowly and it takes all you have to control the steering. So therefore if the 12 so called trained police officers had attempted to shoot out the tires or shoot at him, not 12 unloading there pistols with a total of 36 shots 19 in Rob, one on each side, and one in front of the loader each aiming to shoot out the tires or wood him this would have ended differently, but far as ending things peacefully Chicken's & crooks like Mr. Rumford either do it the sneaky dirty way or run like hell.........

AMEN, bcresident

if there were 12 officers and 36 rounds fired that is approx 3 rounds per man. thats a long ways from unloading and 3 rounds could have been done in a nano second, most auto guns hold approx 12 to 18 rounds and if all unloaded it would have been 120 + shots. obviously more info is needed to be accurate but when broke down like bcresident states it it looks like there was trained officers and all were in control of their weapons.
