"Politicians who were involved in it should pay the price." Terry Family Wants Answers. Also, Brian Terry memorial fundraiser to be held Nov. 12.

"Gunwalker": Agent's family wants death details.

For the first time, Brian's parents -- who are divorced-- spoke at length about saying goodbye to their son -- a former Marine -- and their long search for answers.

Josie Terry said, "The last time Brian was home, we were just talking about something and he said, 'You know, Mom,' he said something bad is going to happen. He said, 'I just have that feeling.' He said, 'Somebody's going to get hurt."'

Brian's mom watches videos of him on the computer. His dad says he finds it hard to visit his son's grave.

Kent Terry said, "It's rough. I can answer, it's been pure hell is what it's been."

Josie Terry said, "I just remember things he said. I don't know. I can't explain it. He always looked out for me. And I miss that."

Both say they're still waiting for some official to take responsibility for the gunwalking operation that allegedly trafficked the weapons found at the murder scene.

Josie Terry said, "I couldn't believe that something like that would happen. I just couldn't believe that they would let those guns go across the border, and all them other innocent people in Mexico would get killed with those same guns."

"Like my mom used to tell me, that lie's gonna catch up with you," Kent Terry said. "That's what's gonna happen to them. It's gonna catch up to them."

Josie Terry added, "I think that they know they did wrong, and if it wasn't for Brian's death I don't think -- I think this would still being going on."

"I think he'd want justice for them guns going over the border," Kent Terry said. "It's not right, and I think our politicians who were involved in it should pay -- pay the price."

Also, David Codrea reports: "A Brian Terry Fundraiser will be held on Saturday, Nov. 12, at the Scottsdale International Auto Museum, in Scottsdale, AZ."

Dedicated_Dad said...: I agree - and "the price" should involve a good strong tree and a nice stout length of rope!

AFTER a fair and VERY speedy trial, of course!

We recently lost our "rotten little boy in a dog-fur suit" - I can't IMAGINE what it must be like to lose a full-grown Son -- ESPECIALLY one so fine as Agt. Terry. Just the THOUGHT of losing my equally-fine Boy is enough to bring me to tears!

Lastly, the "former Marine" bit really sticks in my craw... As I understand it the only "FORMER Marine" is one who has been stripped of the honor of wearing that proud label due to dishonorable action -- otherwise "Once a Marine/ALWAYS a Marine!"

Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong -- otherwise please JOIN me in calling out and correcting the nonsense when you see it!; November 9, 2011 at 7:17 PM
Anonymous said...: I'd love to be able to console the family and assure them of justice in this matter. Considering the parties involved and their past histories, I am not at all confident, in fact I would recommend they not get their hopes up.

This would never have happened in my America, but my America is being murdered daily and is almost gone.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
