FOX: U.S. Attorney's Office Rejects Family of Murdered Border Patrol Agent as Crime Victims.

Text and video here.

You have got to be kidding me.

I don’t want to get off on a rant here (again with apologies to Dennis Miller) but there was no “particular” victim? Just “society in general.”

This has been one of the major arguments for gun control all along, the “societal cost.” Does it surprise anyone at all that the current DoJ, led by the incompetent Eric Holder, would attempt to use this case for political gain? Especially when they’re under such fire already.

I hate to tell you this Mr. Burke, but the “particular” victim in this case is Brian Terry. Dead, you see. Someone shot him you twit. His family are proximate victims because, well, their son is dead.

To tell these people they’re not crime victims goes beyond the insensitive (and aren’t all you liberals supposed to be “sensitive) to the ludicrous. My lord people at what point do we all wake up, look around and start screaming at the top of our lungs about what this country has become. This is beyond stupid. It’s beyond insulting.

I really have no words for what this actually is, beyond one more example, if we really needed it, that it’s time for a top-to-bottom house cleaning in DC. Unfortunately, this pimple on an abscess Burke is low level enough he’ll probably survive any changes anyway.

But he should be fired — and ashamed of himself. Unfortunately, shame is a bourgeois concept liberals don’t get.

This is the thing, we have been screaming at the top of our lungs...and very few of our representative care to listen.

We're gonna have to make this personal to them.

The deepening callous indifference of this regime to human suffering when it conflicts with their agenda is getting truly astounding. God has turned them over to their Marxist natures and the ugliest is starting to reveal itself everywhere. It's interesting from a clinical perspective, nauseating from a soul perspective.

So, Brian Terry was not a 'crime victim' and his family has no standing as 'crime victims'?

I wonder how a whole bunch of other federal agents are feeling about their futures right about now? If they're injured or killed performing their duties... this kind of leaves them and their families in a similar situation, doesn't it?

So, now federal officers are just so much fodder with no special standing as human beings... just disposable bodies? Their families need to get used to that, huh?

The BATFE agency administrators are getting scarier by the day.

Mr. Vanderboegh,

I have been following this disgusting, shameful story through the reportage of David Codrea and David Workman. Both have been assiduous in crediting you for the underlying investigative work.

God bless you.

John Dean suggested Watergate was a "cancer on the presidency." This foul, vile, despicable maelstrom of fail is, if possible, worse.

No one died in Watergate. Untold hundreds will die thanks to the U.S. government's deliberate trafficking of deadly weapons to criminals. The justifications for the Fast and Furious debacle simply leave sane people gasping. One might be permitted, in a surfeit of hope, to come up with more malignant examples of ineptitude and downright evil from the government I happen to serve, but it would be a difficult assignment. Perhaps Fast and Furious, being a present-case story with cold bodies on the ground, might wake at least some slim portion of the population up.

I now join the "three percenters." Yes, Admiral Poindexter, I said it.

The indirect message the Federal Attorneys Office just sent to all the other LIVING federal agents and their families is they couldn't give a cr@p about them either.

So Mrs. Terry isn't a victim, but Mrs. Brady is?

They take their ethics from Marx-- "Guilt is bourgeois opportunism."

Sounds like the beginning of Communist Soviet-era doublespeak.
“We, the Commissars of the USSA, declare in double-secret hearings, that the dead agent Brian Terry, is a non-person. Therefore, his parents and family are non-victims. That is all.”
