I personally would volunteer to be reporter..
Yes good point about whether this demand is recent etc.
I am hoping this guy is hit by a wave of reality soon, and wonders wtf he is doing, and ends it himself..

He can't end it now since at this point the only thing keeping him alive and out of prison is his hostage.

I knew it, he wants his name in the paper. He wouldn't do this if he wasn't after some sort of media attention. He wants to promote his political cause and go down in history as some martyr for anti government. Fucking delusional nutcase.

This ended out ok.

Its over....

I'll be interested in hearing how it went down. Maybe they had a hidden camera with some of the supplies they sent and waited until a moment he was off guard or away from the child to end it. Props to the FBI and whoever else carried the plan through.

Within the past 24 hours negotiations deteriorated and Mr. Dykes was observed holding a gun," Richardson, of the Mobile, Ala., office, said in a brief statement. "At this point, FBI agents, fearing the child was in imminent danger, entered the bunker and rescued the child.”

Glad the child is safe, and the perp can't hurt anyone.



Edit- Not a Viet vet either, was a clerk for an aviation unit in Atsugi.
