Police State

Former EMS agent charged with possession of bomb-making materials had the temerity to talk to the press after the West, Texas explosion.

"That day in the West hotel lobby, applause erupted when Reed stepped down. Yet no one had asked Reed to come, and in a town swarming with federal and state investigators - who had handled all the official briefings and tightly controlled updates - a local volunteer paramedic relaying such information was a stark contrast."
"Reed was among the most vocal residents after the fatal explosion, freely talking to reporters while other first responders declined interviews."

But it sounds like he was fired for speaking so freely.

"In fact, Reed had been "let go" by West EMS as of April 19, the day before the speech, according to an e-mail obtained by the Associated Press sent by a regional EMS organization, the Heart of Texas Regional Advisory Council, to the state health officials."

It also sounds like he was set up.

"Reed allegedly gave the materials, including chemical powders, to a man on April 26, and that man called authorities, according to court documents."

The government really doesn't like this guy.
