Knox Sheriff Declines "America's Most Wanted" Help in Johnia Berry Murder - After all, it doesn't look like Knox County is any closer to solving this case, leaving many of Johnia's family members frustrated. Berry's parents tell us America's Most Wanted approached the sheriff's department about doing a story on this case, but they say Knox County turned down that request. The 21-year-old Berry was stabbed to death on December 6, 2004, 12 days before she was to receive a degree with honors from ETSU. She was attacked by a knife-wielding man in Brendon Park Apartments and died in the hallway after banging on neighbors' doors for help. None responded. Johnia's roommate, Jason Aymami, was also stabbed but he fled the apartment, calling 911 from a convenience store. The family posted a letter on their Web site, JohniaBerry.org, Tuesday saying they want a meeting with the sheriff. The letter reads, "Nearly 15 months have passed since Johnia was murdered and we've done everything in our power to make sure the responsible person is brought to justice. We have handed out fliers, paid for billboard space, and have tried to gain as much exposure as possible through the media. One thing we would like to do is have a meeting with Sheriff Tim Hutchison. Sure, the sheriff met with Mike and me on one occasion, but now many months have passed and our countless calls to the sheriff's office have garnered absolutely no response from Mr. Hutchison. Does Mr. Hutchison feel that it's not worth his time to return our calls or meet with us because we don't live in Knoxville?" Hutchison was too busy getting convicted for committing criminal perjury in court (with $180,000 in lawyer fees billed to the taxpayers for appealing Hutch's $300 criminal fine), building 400 houses with his convicted felon business partner who had no contractor license, and jetsetting in his fleet of 6 black helicopters at taxpayer expense, parked at an airport rented from a convicted drug dealer. Tennessee reportedly leads the nation in number of sheriffs convicted of drug dealing. Randy Tyree is a write-in candidate for sheriff in 2006. Tyree is a former Knoxville mayor, KPD intelligence (spying on politicians and business owners), FBI agent (who assassinated MLK), govt trial lawyer and undercover infiltraitor of terrorist organizations (peace voters) on UT campus. Hutchison is ineligible for reelection due to term limits, but since when has The Law stopped Teflon Tim?

citizen's arrest.
an arrest made not by a law officer but by any citizen who derives the authority to arrest from the fact of being a citizen. Note: Under common law, a citizen may make an arrest for any felony actually committed, or for a breach of the peace committed in his or her presence.
—Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law ©1996

"A private citizen, in making an arrest authorized by law, may use force reasonably necessary to accomplish the arrest of an individual who flees or resists the arrest; provided, that a private citizen cannot use or threaten to use deadly force except to the extent authorized under self-defense or defense of third person statutes, §§ 39-11-611 and 39-11-612."
—Tennessee Code 39-11-621. Use of deadly force by private citizen.

"A person is justified in threatening or using force against another person when and to the degree the person reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to protect against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful force. The person must have a reasonable belief that there is imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury. The danger creating the belief of imminent death or serious bodily injury must be real, or honestly believed to be real at the time, and must be founded upon reasonable grounds. There is no duty to retreat before a person threatens or uses force."
—Tennessee Code 39-11-611(a) jusitifiable homicide.
1. The killing of another in self-defnese when faced with the danger of death or serious bodily injury. Also termed excusable homicide. See SELF DEFENSE. 2.

QUESTION: Do I have a duty to inform a LEO that I am armed and possess a valid carry permit at the beginning of any interaction with that officer? For example, at a sobriety checkpoint; stopped for a traffic violation; giving a statement as a witness to an accident, or as the reporter of a crime? If no duty exists, is it in my best interest to do so, anyway? ANSWER: Current law does not require you to inform an officer that you are armed. Generally, unless you are absolutely sure that you are legally in possession of the firearm, advising the officer that you have one may be the admission of a crime.
—Tennessee Firearms Association - FAQ

QUESTION: Do I have to carry my handgun concealed? ANSWER: Strictly speaking, no. The Tennessee Firearms Association fought against the concealment provision so people who accidentally exposed their weapon would not lose their right to carry, or worse. It is strongly suggested, for a number of reasons, you keep you handgun concealed. Although legal, you will almost certainly be detained by the police if you carry openly. There is a statute (39-17-1311) which declares it illegal to have certain specific weapons (identified in 39-17-1302(a)) in 'public parks' and 'recreational' facilities. It is not clear whether this statute applies to handguns. In addition - if the word 'federal' or 'national' appears in the title - assume its off limits.

"Family vacations can include trips to our National Parks throughout the U.S., or you may have to drive though one of them to get to your final destination. Can you carry a loaded gun during your trip? The answer is no. You can transport your firearm if it is in a case, unloaded, or dismantled. If you have a summer home in a National Park [see definition below], you are allowed to keep a loaded firearm in the dwelling, but you cannot travel with the firearm loaded outside of this dwelling."

"Mr. Speaker, my subject today is whether America is a police state. If we are, what are we going to do about it? Most police states, surprisingly, come about through the democratic process with majority support. The masses are easily led to believe that security and liberty are mutually exclusive, and demand for security far exceeds that for liberty. Our government already keeps close tabs on just about everything we do and requires official permission for nearly all of our activities. One might take a look at our Capitol for any evidence of a police state. We see: barricades, metal detectors, police, military soldiers at times, dogs, ID badges required for every move, vehicles checked at airports and throughout the Capitol. The people are totally disarmed, except for the police and the criminals. But worse yet, surveillance cameras in Washington are everywhere to ensure our safety. Like gun control, people control hurts law-abiding citizens much more than the law-breakers. Centralized control and regulations are required in a police state. Not only do we need a license to drive, but we also need special belts, bags, buzzers, seats and environmentally dictated speed limits. Or a policeman will be pulling us over to levy a fine, and he will be toting a gun for sure. Let's reject the police state."

"This country is in such bad shape because people have no idea what's going on. 80% of all criminal cases start with the admissions and confesions of the defendant. You take out a tape recorder and you have about a 40% chance of walking away without a ticket. Use a tape recorder no matter what situation you are in. Sometimes I use the recorder hidden under my shirt sleeve, for business situations. We're not advocating that you take this out and 'hunt bears'. Sign your driver license 'WITHOUT PREJUDICE' and/or '1-207-UCC' (Uniform Commercial Code). I wish to travel as a Constitutional right to travel. I'm not in a state-regulated commercial enterprise. I'm not a party to this 'voluntary' contract. My signature was made against my will and under duress. By the way, driving 92mph in a 55-zone is NOT a "crime". No one has been injured under the common law, thus no crime was committed. There are some people who worship government to such a degree, that this world system is a god to them. If you "sin", you must pay to "absolve" the sin. Technically, you have not violated the law. CRIMINAL Law includes rape, robbery and murder. What a traffic ticket is, is a breach of contract."

"The Tennessee National Guard Counterdrug Division is a premiere military asset within our state that provides critical support to federal,state and local law enforcement as well as community based and educational organizations. Through the combined efforts of hundreds of citizens and professionals in the fields of drug interdiction and demand reduction, the battle to curtail abuse and trafficking of illicit drugs is making progress. The Tennessee National Guard Counterdrug Division urges citizens to utilize their communities and establish a unified stance against the dangers of illicit drugs pose. Work with your local law enforcement and local community groups to establish sustained grass roots coalitions that address the toll deadly drugs inflict upon your homeland. As our Guard men and women stand ready to fight the terror induced by the drug plague, so should each of you act as citizen soldiers in you own right. The soldiers and airmen of the Counterdrug Division have served the state for 14 years defending our citizenry against the cancer of illicit drug abuse. Eradication - "Carpe Cannabis": As a substantial member of the Governor's Task Force on Marijuana Eradication (GTFME), the Counterdrug Division provided personnel, aircraft, vehicles and other equipment to ensure mission success. The 2002 eradication season utilized 21 National Guard soldiers and airmen and 18 JTF-6 US Army soldiers working together to support the destruction of .485,464 marijuana plants from across the state worth an estimated street value of $978,928,000. The workhorse of the ground effort was comprised of three Eradication Teams assigned to each geographical region of Tennessee. These ground forces reaped the illegal crops in 91 out of 95 counties. They traveled by 4 x 4 truck, four wheelers and by foot when the going got rough. These teams were made up of agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Tennessee Highway Patrol, the Alcoholic Beverage Commission, and soldiers and airmen of the Tennessee National Guard. 'Fatal Vision' is one of our programs that demonstrates to young teenagers the dangerous effects drugs and alchol can have over normal everyday life. The students experience a "simulated intoxication" that is made possible by special goggles that alter their vision. Under the supervision of National Guardsmen, students experience the "intoxication" driving in golf carts as well as attempting a field sobriety test. This program is aimed at educating students and acts as a deterrent to driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. The Tennessee National Guard Counterdrug Division participates in several youth camps across the state of Tennessee. The Counterdrug Division's Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) is a new concept In Law Enforcement support for the state of Tennessee. The LAV provides safe transportation for agents executing drug search warrants. In FY 03, the LAV will become a valuable safety asset for local, state and federal agencies in the state. RAID Ghost Riders: The Reconnaissance & Interdiction Detachment (RAID) provides airborne scouting and reconnaissance support for drug interdiction and surveillance in a wide spectrum of geographical locations during day and night operations. The RAID is a unit assigned to the Tennessee National Guard with 13 positions, nine pilots and four mechanics. During marijuana eradication, the unit will fly approximately 1200 hours in support of the Governor's Task Force for Marijuana Eradication. Operation Weed and Seed is foremost a strategy--rather than a grant program-- which aims to prevent, control, and reduce violent crime, drug abuse, and gang activity in targeted high-crime neighborhoods across the country. A community-orientated policing component bridges weeding and seeding strategies. Officers obtain helpful information from area residents for weeding efforts."

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?

Tenn. Code Annotated § 39-11-611.
(e) The threat or use of force against another is not justified to resist a halt at a roadblock, arrest, search, or stop and frisk that the person knows is being made by a law enforcement officer, unless:
(1) The law enforcement officer uses or attempts to use greater force than necessary to make the arrest, search, stop and frisk, or halt; and
(2) The person reasonably believes that the force is immediately necessary to protect against the law enforcement officer's use or attempted use of greater force than necessary.
Advisory Commission Comments. Subsection (e) represents a policy decision by the Commission that the street is not the proper forum for determining the legality of an arrest. To a large extent, the rule is designed to protect citizens from being harmed by law enforcement officers. Research has shown that citizens who resist arrest frequently are injured by trained officers who use their skills and weapons to protect themselves and effectuate the arrest. If the defendant knows it is a law enforcement officer who has stopped or arrested him or her, respect for the rule of law requires the defendant to submit to apparent authority. The justification is restored if the law enforcement officer uses greater force than necessary under the circumstances and the defendant acts under reasonable belief that his or her acts are necessary for self-protection.

Tenn. Code Annotated § 39-11-609. Necessity.
Except as provided in 39-11-611 - 39-11-621 conduct is justified if:
(1) The person reasonably believes the conduct is immediatelynecessary to avoid imminent harm; and
(2) The desirability and urgency of avoiding the harm clearlyoutweigh, according to ordinary standards of reasonableness, theharm sought to be prevented by the law proscribing the conduct.
Sentencing Commission Comments.
This section codifies the commonlaw defense of necessity. It excuses criminal liability in those exceedingly rare situations where criminal activity is an objectively reasonable response to an extreme situation. For, example, necessitydefense would bar a trespass conviction for a hiker, strandedin a snowstorm, who spends the night in a vacant cabin ratherrisking death sleeping in the open. The defense is limited to situations: (1) where the defendant acts upon a reasonable belief that the action is necessary to avoid harm; and (2) where the harm sought to be avoided is clearlygreater than the harm caused by the criminal act. The defenseis further limited in application to those offenses where it isnot expressly excluded by statute. Subdivisions (1) and (2) contemplate a balancing between the harmcaused by the conduct constituting an offense, and the harm thedefendant sought to avoid by the conduct. If the harm sought tobe avoided was, by ordinary standards of reasonableness, clearlygreater that the harm actually caused (the offense is justified.

Tenn. Code Annotated § 39-11-611. Self-defense.
(a) A person is justified in threateningor using force against another person when and to the degree theperson reasonably believes the force is immediately necessaryto protect against the other's use or attempted use of unlawfulforce. The person must have a reasonable belief that there isan imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury. The dangercreating the belief of imminent death or serious bodily injurymust be real, or honestly believed to be real at the time, andmust be founded upon reasonable grounds. There is no duty to retreatbefore a person threatens or uses force.
(b) Any person using force intended or likely to cause death orserious bodily injury within their own residence is presumed tohave held a reasonable fear of imminent peril of death or seriousbodily injury to self, family or a member of the household whenthat force is used against another person, not a member of thefamily or household, who unlawfully and forcibly enters or hasunlawfully and forcibly entered the residence, and the personusing the force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawfuland forcible entry occurred.
(c) The threat or use of force against another is not justifiedif the person consented to the exact force used or attempted bythe other individual.
(d) The threat or use of force against another is not justifiedif the person provoked the other individual's use or attempteduse of unlawful force, unless:
(1) The person abandons the encounter or clearly communicates to the other the intent to do so; and
(2) The other nevertheless continues or attempts to use unlawfulforce against the person.
(e) The threat or use of force against another is not justifiedto resist a halt at a roadblock, arrest, search, or stop and friskthat the person knows is being made by a law enforcement officer,unless:
(1) The law enforcement officer uses or attempts to use greaterforce than necessary to make the arrest, search, stop and frisk,or halt; and
(2) The person reasonably believes that the force is immediatelynecessary to protect against the law enforcement officer's useor attempted use of greater force than necessary.
Sentencing Commission Comments.
This section codifies muchof the common law doctrine of self defense. The defense is applicableto the use or threatened use of force and to both ordinary forceand deadly force. Threats are included because under some circumstancesthey constitute offenses. Subsection (a) allows the justification of self defense to personswho reasonably believe they are imminently threatens with forceor are actually attacked and who react with the force reasonablynecessary to protect themselves. The test of "reasonablebelief" places the emphasis on the defendant's reliance uponreasonable appearances rather than exposing the defendant to theperil of criminal liability where appearances were deceiving andno actual danger existed. the test is threefold: the defendantmust reasonably believe he is threatened with imminent loss of life or serious bodily injury; the dangercreating the belief must be real or honestly believed to be realat the time of the action; and the belief must be founded on reasonablegrounds. Under this section, there is no duty to retreat, whichchanges Tennessee law. Subsection (b) is a restatement of a prior Tennessee statute whichcreated a presumption that a person using force against an intruderin the residence held a reasonable fear of imminent death or seriousinjury. Subsections (c), (d) and (e) are restrictions to the defense. Subsections (c) and (d) continue the traditional rule that the defendant claiming justification should be free from fault inbringing on the necessity of using force. Subsection (c) recognizes that persons who consent to the force used against them are prohibited from utilizing self defense in responding to that use of force.Examples would be mutual combatants or participants in contact sports. The defense, however, is available if the force used againstthe defendant exceeded the scope of the defendant's consent.
Subsection (d) also restricts the defense by codifying the traditional concept of the initial aggressor. In order to use the defense, the initial aggressor must withdraw or communicate an intent to withdraw and the force must continue despite this communication. See Irvine v. State, 104 Tenn. 132, 56 S.W. 845 (1900); Gann v.State, 214 Tenn. 711, 383 S.W.2d 32 (1964).
Subsection (e) represents a policy decision by the commission that the street is not the proper forum for determining the legality of an arrest. To a large extent, the rule is designed to protect citizens from being harmed by law enforcement officers. Research has shown that citizens who resist arrest frequently are injured by trained officers who use their skills and weapons to protect themselves and effectuate the arrest. If the defendant knows itis a law enforcement officer who has stopped or arrested him or her, respect for the rule of law requires the defendant to submit to apparent authority. The justification is restored if the law enforcement officer uses greater force than necessary under the circumstances and the defendant acts under reasonable belief that his or her acts are necessary for self-protection.

Tenn. Code Annotated § 39-11-612. Defense of third person.
A person is justified in threatening or using force against another to protect a third person if:
(1) Under the circumstances as the person reasonably believes them to be, the person would be justified under 39-11-611 inthreatening or using force to protect against the use or attempteduse of unlawful force reasonably believed to be threatening the third person sought to be protected; and
(2) The person reasonably believes that the intervention is immediately necessary to protect the third person.
Sentencing Commission Comments.
This section makes it clear the right to defend a third person is to be determined in the same fashion as the right of self defense. Section 39-11-611 governs the determination of whether a defendant would have been justified in using force in self-defense under the same facts and circumstances.If the defendant reasonably believes that intervention is immediately necessary to protect the third person, the defendant is justified in the same manner as he or she would have been under 39-11-611. Section to Section References. This section if referred to in 39-11-621.

Tenn. Code Annotated § 39-11-613. Protection of life or health.
A person is justified in threatening or using force, but not deadly force, against another when and to the degree the person reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to prevent the other from committing suicide or from the self-infliction of serious bodily injury.
Sentencing Commission Comments.
This section is new to Tennessee law. It is designed to remove a possible impediment to the reasonable use of force to aid another person. It justifies the use of force, but not deadly force, against another to prevent self-inflicted serious bodily injury or suicide. The justification is dependent upon the defendant's reasonable belief of the necessity of immediate action.

Tenn. Code Annotated § 39-11-614. Protection of property.
(a) A person in lawful possession of real or personal property is justified in threatening or using force against another when and to the degree it is reasonably believed the force is immediately necessary to prevent or terminate the other's trespass on the land of unlawful interference with the property. (b) A person who has been unlawfully dispossessed of real or personal property is justified in threatening or using force against theother when and to the degree it is reasonably believed the forceis immediately necessary to reenter the land or recover the property if the person threatens or uses the force immediately or in fresh pursuit after the dispossession; and:
(1) The person reasonably believes the other had no claim of right when the other dispossessed the person; and
(2) The other accomplished the dispossession by threatening or using force against the person.
(c) A person is not justified in using deadly force to prevent or terminate the other's trespass on real estate or unlawful interference with personal property.
Sentencing Commission Comments.
This section affords justification for the defenses of protection of both real and personal property.This defense is available to all persons "in lawful possession" and thus applies to owners, lessees,and bailees. The amount offorce reasonably believed to be necessary to terminate the trespassor unlawful interference.
Subsection (b) provides justification for the use of force to reenter land or recapture property under very limited circumstances. The defendant must use or threaten to use force immediately after the dispossession and the defendant must reasonably believe the other person had no right to dispossess the defendant. Further, the dispossession must have been accomplished by the use of threats or force by the other person. This section is intended to encourage the resort of legal process to recover property in all circumstances except those where immediateself help is likely anyway. Subsection (c) makes it clear deadly force is never justified under this section. Deadly force may be justified, however, under 39-11-611(b).
Section to Section References. Sections 39-11-614 -- 39-11-616 are referred to in 39-11-610. This section is referred to in 39-11-615, 39-11-616.

Tenn. Code Annotated § 39-11-615. Protection of third person's property.
A person is justified in threatening or using force against another to protect real or personal property of a third person if, underthe circumstances as the person reasonably believes them to be,the person would be justified under 39-11-614 in threatening or using force to protect the person's own real or personal property.
Sentencing Commission Comments.
This section justifies theuse of limited force to protect another person's real or personal property. Similar to 39-11-612, defense of third persons, this justification is based upon the defendant's right to protect his or her own property under 39-11-614. This section permits adefendant to use the same force to protect the property of another that he or she could use to protect his or her own property. Section to Section References. This section is referred to in 39-11-616.

Tenn. Code Annotated § 39-11-616. Use of device to protect property.
(a) The vjustification afforded by 39-11-614 and 39-11-615 extends tothe use of a device for the purpose of protecting property only if:
(1) The device is not designed to cause or known to create a substantial risk of causing death or serious bodily harm;
(2) The use of the particular device to protect the property fromentry or trespass is reasonable under the circumstances as theperson believes them to be; and
(3) The device is one customarily used for such a purpose or reasonable care is taken to make known to probable intruders the fact thatit is used.
(b) Nothing in this section shall affect the law regarding theuse of animals to protect property or persons.
Sentencing Commission Comments.
This section provides a limited justification for the use of a device, such as a hidden trap,to protect property. This rule is substantially consistent with the common law tort rule. The commission has considered both theimportance of protecting innocent persons (e.g., firefighters, law enforcement officers, and children) and the importance ofprotecting one's property. Under this section, the use of a device must be reasonable, the device must be one customarily used for protection of property or the user must use reasonable care ingiving warning to probable intruders, and the device must not be designed or known to cause death or serious bodily injury.

"Authorities say Memphis police shot and killed a deputy US marshal, who allegedly fired a gun at two officers, wounding one, after she was stopped for driving erratically. Memphis police officers spotted Mary Fisher's car driving at a fast rate and weaving in and out of lanes around 6 a.m. this morning. Memphis Police spokesman Sgt. Vince Higgins said the 46-year-old woman refused to stop when police put on their blue lights and sirens and led the officers to her house. The officers told her to get out of the car. She opened her door, leaned back into the car, and the officers say she pulled out a gun and then started shooting at them. She was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. Patrick Taylor was shot in the leg. He was taken to a Memphis hospital where he remains in stable condition. The other officer, whose name is not being released, was unharmed. Both Taylor and the other officer have been relieved of duty while the investigation continues."

David Haggard, Roane County Sheriff says, 'In this situation he rode into even the most experienced officer couldn't have prevented it.' Deputy Jones died on Thursday after police say the Houston brother's started unloading on his patrol car from all sides. Police say Deputy Jones was on routine patrol when tried to serve the brothers' warrants. He never made it out of the car. Sheriff Haggard says, "You got somebody waiting on you with a high powered rifle with high capacity magazines. You kinda figure it's premeditated and preplanned. It was a ambush."

"'This has been brewing for 2 or 3 years between the Sheriff and my boys,' said the suspects' father. Clifford Clyde Houston, a former Roane County Commissioner, says the problems started with a speeding ticket and escalated. At the courthouse, there is a stack of files on the two brothers, most of them focused on Rocky. Among other things, he was accused of threatening a Harriman city judge. That is something his father says never happened. 'And Judge Crass told me he did not, and I shook his hand and said, 'Judge, I want to thank you for being truthful,'' said the elder Houston. Rocky was acquitted on that charge, but convicted of disorderly conduct. In addition to the files on Rocky and Leon we found at the courthouse, there are also several federal lawsuits Rocky filed against the state of Tennessee, local district attorneys and judges and his former employer, Wackenhut [Security] Services [at Y-12 nuclear bomb factory]."

"While fallen law officers are being honored in Washington today, the FBI says 50 police officers were shot dead last year. Thirty-four of them were wearing body armor. FBI says, out of the total 122 law enforcers who died in the line of duty, 55 officers were killed intentionally. Preliminary numbers suggest that's two fewer than in 2004. The statistics released today say handguns were used to kill 42 officers, five were shot with shotguns and three died in rifle-fire. Six officers were killed with their own weapons. FBI says all of the cases were solved."

"At end-1945, some 3,000 battle-hardened veterans returned to McMinn County. Sheriff Mansfield's deputies had brutalized many in McMinn County; the GIs held Cantrell politically responsible for Mansfield's doings. In ads and speeches the GI candidates promised an honest ballot count and reform of county government. At a rally, a GI speaker said, 'The principals that we fought for in this past war do not exist in McMinn County. We fought for democracy because we believe in democracy but not the form we live under in this county.' At end-July 1946, 159 McMinn County GIs petitioned the FBI to send election monitors. There was no response. The Department of Justice had not responded to McMinn Countians' complaints of election fraud in 1940, 1942, and 1944. To intimidate voters, Mansfield brought in some 200 armed 'deputies'. GI poll-watchers were beaten almost at once. At about 3 p.m., Tom Gillespie, an African-American voter, was told by a Sheriff's deputy, "'Nigger, you can't vote here today!!'". Despite being beaten, Gillespie persisted; the enraged deputy shot him. "The deputies, with guns drawn, formed a tight half-circle around the front of the polling place. One deputy, "his gun raised high ...shouted: 'You sons-of-bitches cross this street and I'll kill you!'" Mansfield took the ballot boxes to the jail for counting. The deputies seemed to fear immediate attack, by the 'people who had just liberated Europe and the South Pacific from two of the most powerful war machines in human history.' By borrowing keys to the National Guard and State Guard Armories, they got three M-1 rifles, five .45 semi-automatic pistols, and 24 British Enfield rifles. Three GIs - alerting passersby to danger - were fired on from the jail. Two GIs were wounded. Other GIs returned fire. Those inside the jail mainly used pistols; they also had a 'tommy gun' (a .45 caliber Thompson sub-machine gun). Firing subsided after 30 minutes: ammunition ran low and night had fallen. Thick brick walls shielded those inside the jail. Absent radios, the GIs' rifle fire was un-coordinated. 'From the hillside, fire rose and fell in disorganized cascades. More than anything else, people were simply 'shooting at the jail'.' Men from Meigs county threw dynamite sticks and damaged the jail's porch. The panicked deputies surrendered. In five precincts free of vote fraud, the GI candidate for Sheriff, Knox Henry, won 1,168 votes to Cantrell's 789. Other GI candidates won by similar margins. The regular police having fled, six men were chosen to police Athens; a dozen GIs were sent to police Etowah. In addition, 'Individual citizens were called upon to form patrols or guard groups, often led by a GI....' US Congressman John Jennings said on the Congressional Record, 'At long last decency and honesty, liberty and law have returned to the fine county of McMinn.' Since 1915, officials of seven governments 'gone bad' have committed genocide, murdering at least 56 million persons, including millions of children. 'Gun control' clears the way for genocide by giving governments 'gone bad' far greater freedom to commit mass murder."
—Battle of Athens, Tennessee (hometown of Will Rogers, mayor, and "America's favorite cowboy journalist"), reposted by Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, and the Constitution Society, the Daily Post-Athenian, and C. Stephen Byrum's book, The Battle of Athens,

"On 2 August 1946, some Americans, brutalized by their county government, used armed force to overturn it. These Americans wanted honest, open elections. For years they had asked for state or Federal election monitors to prevent vote fraud -- forged ballots, secret ballot counts, and intimidation by armed sheriff's deputies -- by the local political boss. They got no help. These Americans' absolute refusal to knuckle-under had been hardened by service in World War II. Having fought to free other countries from murderous regimes, they rejected vicious abuse by their county government. These Americans had a choice. Their state's Constitution - Article 1, Section 26 - recorded their right to keep and bear arms for the common defense. Few "gun control" laws had been enacted. McMinn Countians had long been independent political thinkers. They also had long: accepted bribe-taking by politicians and/or the Sheriff to overlook illicit whiskey-making and gambling; financed the sheriff's department from fines - usually for speeding or public drunkenness - which promoted false arrests; put up with voting fraud by both Democrats and Republicans. Tennessee State law barred voting fraud: ballot boxes had to be shown to be empty before voting; poll-watchers had to be allowed; armed law enforcement officers were barred from polling places; ballots had to be counted where any voter could watch. Paul Cantrell was elected Sheriff in the 1936, 1938, and 1940 elections, but by slim margins. The Sheriff was the key County official. Cantrell was elected to the State Senate in 1942 and 1944; his chief deputy, Pat Mansfield, was elected sheriff. In 1946, Paul Cantrell again sought the Sheriff's office. At end-July 1946, 159 McMinn County GIs petitioned the FBI to send election monitors. There was no response. The Department of Justice had not responded to McMinn Countians' complaints of election fraud in 1940, 1942, and 1944. The election was held on 1 August. To intimidate voters, Mansfield brought in some 200 armed "deputies". GI poll-watchers were beaten almost at once. At about 3 p.m., Tom Gillespie, an African-American voter, was told by a Sheriff's deputy, 'Nigger, you can't vote here today!!'. Despite being beaten, Gillespie persisted; the enraged deputy shot him. The gunshot drew a crowd. Rumors spread that Gillespie had been 'shot in the back'; he later recovered. (C. Stephen Byrum, The Battle of Athens; Paidia Productions, Chattanooga TN, 1987; pp. 155-57). Other deputies detained ex-GI poll-watchers in a polling place, as that made the ballot count "public". A crowd gathered. Sheriff Mansfield told his deputies to disperse the crowd. When the two ex-GIs smashed a big window and escaped, the crowd surged forward. The deputies, with guns drawn, formed a tight half-circle around the front of the polling place. One deputy, 'his gun raised high ...shouted: "You sons-of- bitches cross this street and I'll kill you!"' (Byrum, p. 165). Mansfield took the ballot boxes to the jail for counting. The deputies seemed to fear immediate attack, by the "people who had just liberated Europe and the South Pacific from two of the most powerful war machines in human history." (Byrum, pp. 168-69). Governor McCord mobilized the State Guard, perhaps to scare the GIs into withdrawing. The State Guard never went to Athens. McCord may have feared that Guard units filled with ex-GIs might not fire on other ex-GIs. Three GIs - alerting passersby to danger - were fired on from the jail. Two GIs were wounded. Other GIs returned fire. Those inside the jail mainly used pistols; they also had a "tommy gun" (a .45 caliber Thompson sub-machine gun). Firing subsided after 30 minutes: ammunition ran low and night had fallen. Thick brick walls shielded those inside the jail. Absent radios, the GIs' rifle fire was un-coordinated. 'From the hillside, fire rose and fell in disorganized cascades. More than anything else, people were simply "shooting at the jail".' (Byrum, p. 189). Several who ventured into 'no man's land', the street in front of the jail, were wounded. One man inside the jail was badly hurt; he recovered. Most sheriff's deputies wanted to hunker down and await rescue. Governor McCord mobilized the State Guard, perhaps to scare the GIs into withdrawing. The State Guard never went to Athens. McCord may have feared that Guard units filled with ex-GIs might not fire on other ex-GIs. At about 2 a.m. on 2 August, the GIs forced the issue. Men from Meigs county threw dynamite sticks and damaged the jail's porch. The panicked deputies surrendered. GIs quickly secured the building. Paul Cantrell faded into the night, almost having been shot by a GI who knew him, but whose .45 pistol had jammed. Mansfield's deputies were kept overnight in jail for their own safety. Calm soon returned: the GIs posted guards. The rifles borrowed from the armory were cleaned and returned before sun-up. In five precincts free of vote fraud, the GI candidate for Sheriff, Knox Henry, won 1,168 votes to Cantrell's 789. Other GI candidates won by similar margins. On 2 August, a town meeting set up a three-man governing committee. The regular police having fled, six men were chosen to police Athens; a dozen GIs were sent to police Etowah. In addition, 'Individual citizens were called upon to form patrols or guard groups, often led by a GI. ...To their credit, however, there is not a single mention of an abuse of power on their behalf.' (Byrum, p. 220). Once the GI candidates' victory had been certified, they cleaned-up county government: the jail was fixed; newly-elected officials accepted a $5,000 pay limit; Mansfield supporters who resigned, were replaced. The general election on 5 November passed quietly. McMinn Countians, having restored the Rule of Law, returned to their daily lives. Pat Mansfield moved back to Georgia. Paul Cantrell set up an auto dealership in Etowah. 'Almost everyone who knew Cantrell in the years after the 'Battle' agree that he was not bitter about what had happened.' (Byrum, pp. 232-33; see also New York Times, 9 August 1946, p. 8). The Battle of Athens made national headlines. Most outsiders' reports had the errors usual in coverage of large-scale, night-time events. A New York Times editorialist on 3 August savaged the GIs. Other outsiders, e.g., Time and Newsweek, agreed. (See Time, 12 August 1946, p. 20; Newsweek, 12 Aug 1946, p. 31 and 9 September 1946, p. 38). The 79th Congress adjourned on 2 August 1946, when the Battle of Athens ended. However, Representative John Jennings, Jr., from Tennessee decried: 'McMinn County's sorry situation under Cantrell and Mansfield; the Justice Department's repeated failures to help the McMinn Countians.' Jennings was delighted that '...at long last decency and honesty, liberty and law have returned to the fine county of McMinn...'. (Congressional Record, House; U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 1946; Appendix, Volume 92, Part 13, p. A4870.)The Battle of Athens clearly shows: how Americans can and should lawfully use armed force; why the Rule of Law requires unrestricted access to firearms; how civilians with military-type firearms can beat the forces of "law and order". Dictators believe that public order is more important than the Rule of Law. However, Americans reject this idea. Criminals can exploit for selfish ends, the use armed force to restore the Rule of Law. But brutal political repression - as practiced by Cantrell and Mansfield - is lethal to many. An individual criminal can harm a handful of people. Governments alone can brutalize thousands, or millions. Since 1915, officials of seven governments 'gone bad' have committed genocide, murdering at least 56 million persons, including millions of children. 'Gun control' clears the way for genocide by giving governments 'gone bad' far greater freedom to commit mass murder. Law-abiding McMinn Countians won the Battle of Athens because they were not hamstrung by 'gun control'. McMinn Countians showed us when citizens can and should use armed force to support the Rule of Law. We are all in their debt."
