Another IRS office hit?

Quote:
Hazardous material crews were called to an IRS building in Ogden, Utah on Monday, less than two weeks after a man deliberately crashed his private plane into a Texas building that housed IRS workers, according to local reports.

The FBI was called to the scene and reporters were not allowed into the building after the incident, The Standard-Examiner reported. Showers were being used to deal with "a possible chemical situation," according to the local ABC affiliate.

Great, the government will use this to justify cracking down on the civil rights of dissidents (even though very few dissidents actually engage in violence when you consider how many critics there are).

That would have been likely in the recent past, but it seems the current DOJ is a bit more level headed.

(It is so hard to write that without sounding like I am some sort of Obama wingman or Bush hater. Sorry if I failed.)

For either person it really depends on the topic. Nobody is constant in their opinions of free speech. I won't waste anytime debating what the gov will or won't do.

They probably sent it themselves, to create just this pretext. False flag operation, obv.

Seriously, the world is not a conspiracy.
