ED BROWN WRAPUP
October 08, 2007
The feds didn't take the Janet Reno "burn 'em to save 'em" approach to the arrest of Ed and Elaine Brown; after months of patient waiting and watching, they arrested the armed tax protestors without a shot being fired.
The press conference by the Federal Marshal in charge of the arrest is available on YouTube.
The marshal didn't give all of the details, but it is interesting that the recent arrests of some supporters who had been supplying the Browns during the siege may have been critical to ending the standoff peacefully. When the marshals went in posing as Brown supporters, the Browns were alone in the house - making the arrest much safer than it would have been if there were a bunch of armed tax protesters in the next room.
Some more roundups of the aftermath of the siege:
