Ed and Elaine Brown

i've posted a couple of times (here and here) on the tax protesters, ed and elaine brown... it looks like our friendly government has had its wicked way...
U.S. Marshals arrested tax protesters Ed and Elaine Brown at their Plainfield home yesterday, ending the couple's eight-month standoff without bloodshed. The Browns vowed never to be taken alive, but U.S. Marshal Stephen Monier said yesterday that both Browns were arrested without incident on their property around 7:45 p.m.

"The Browns may now begin serving their 63-month federal prison terms," Monier said in a written statement last night. A representative for the marshals refused to answer any questions about the arrests last night.

"High-profile situations like this are always difficult, but they don't have to be tragic. I'm glad no one was injured, and that the community remained safe throughout the operation," Monier said.

ummmmmmmm... let's run that one by again... "the browns vowed never to be taken alive..." "both browns were arrested without incident..." o-o-o-o-oook...
