Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

May 12, 2011

?Please don?t shoot, I have a baby!? pleaded Tucson resident Vanessa Guerena as a party of armed men swarmed her home. Vanessa woke up her husband, 26-year-old Jose, who had just returned from the graveyard shift at a local mine.

Jose, a former Marine, told Vanessa to take their son and hide in a closet. He grabbed his AR-15 and turned to confront the intruders, who burst into the home and opened fire. Before Jose could pull the trigger, he was cut down in fusillade of at least 71 shots.

This home invasion was carried out by a SWAT supposedly sent to execute a search warrant in a narcotics investigation. Neither Jose nor Vanessa had a criminal record of any kind, and no drugs or related evidence was found in the Guerena home. As is usually the case, the assailants initially misrepresented the incident, falsely claiming that they had announced that they were police and that Jose had fired on the officers.

The horrifying irony here is that a veteran of the Iraq war was murdered in his own home by the government he had served.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
