I almost never tell you what I think you should do. So you should listen closely this time as I make a plea for your action. Because of the systematic harassment of Ryan Horsley of Red's Trading Post, I suggest that everyone immediately cease doing any business at all with any ATF agent, clerk, secretary, or their family members. Don't sell them food, clothes, gasoline. Nothing. That's right. Let's starve the monsters to death! In the old days it was called "shunning" and was used when unrepentant people would not turn from their unacceptable ways. They became "dead" to the rest of the community; sometimes for lack of food and shelter, they died for real. It is time to bring that tradition back. If you know of anyone who works for ATF in any capacity you should refuse to have any dealings with them whatsoever. Unless their immediate family members publicly renounce their corrupt relatives and join in the shunning they too should be shunned.
Why am I calling for such drastic steps? Because of the extreme actions of the ATF agents involved in trying to drive Red's Trading Post out of business. They have been actively harassing Ryan and his staff, and have recently resorted to accusing him of harassing and intimidating them - for simply shining the light of day on their criminal behavior! Talk about "the pot calling the kettle black"!! They are trying to forbid him from blogging information about their criminally punitive "inspections"; forbid him from allowing customers or supporters to photograph the monsters during these "inspections"; demanding a blackout of publicity of any kind regarding the "inspections. They are using tactics straight out of the old Soviet Union's playbook. Hide from public review while harassing and destroying their moral superiors.
These are the same festering hemorrhoidal hominids who have kidnapped Wayne Fincher for owning guns that scare them (when in the hands of the rightful bearers of arms, that is).
David Codrea at The War on Guns blog is keeping an eye on the developments. Ryan is still blogging about the case, at least until they "get" him. Where is the NRA? Don't let this criminal gang get away with it any more. Look, we vastly outnumber these whoresons. Isn't it time we let them know who is in charge? I'll answer the question for you: Yes, it is time!

Update: It has been pointed out to me that some family members would have nothing to do with the evil ATF employee's career choice and should not be punished, even if they do not denounce the bad guy. Also, that the ATF vermin may have friends and neighbors who help support them through any shunning and who would be spared in any such action. I realize that this solution is not perfect. So, do what you think is right.
