Now the ATF is burning up innocent bunny rabbits. "Project Gunwalker," Heavy Ordnance Proof of Concept Division?

This means war, Doc!

ATF detonates explosives in Motley County charring hundreds of acres.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms was unwilling to speak on camera, but they did tell FOX34 that a quarterly training exercise took place on private property in Motley County Tuesday afternoon.

Floydada Fire Chief Craig DuBois told FOX34 that it was Matador Assistant Fire Chief, Craig Turner's land, located southeast of Flomont.

Turner declined to comment. Chief DuBois explains what he said sparked the blaze.

"We found out that the ATF was setting some bombs off to do some checking and seeing what they need to do for their bombs, and this apparently started the fire," DuBois said.

According to the ATF, the explosive charges were in a dirt field, and they had a fire truck on hand as a precaution, so they thought it would be a smooth, safe exercise.

Chief DuBois said a few four legged creatures helped spread the flames.

"We had it contained at one time, and then a rabbit run across the road and re-set it on the outside, and a wind shift caused it to flare back up and we couldn't get to it and we had to cut in the fire guard," DuBois said.

My favorite line: "We found out that the ATF was setting some bombs off to do some checking and seeing what they need to do for their bombs, and this apparently started the fire," DuBois said.

"Seeing what they needed to do for their bombs"? What is this? Project Gunwalker's Heavy Ordnance Proof of Concept Division?

I hope it was worth pissing off Bugs Bunny.

I'm sure that the PR flacks will just say they were working on alternate energy research.

Did you catch the latest stop on the Weenie Wagon Express?

I wonder if BATF advised Assistant Fire Chief Turner beforehand that the detonation would create an instant HAZMAT scene on his property?

Good luck with the cleanup, the EPA should be wandering by soon to advise the Assistant Chief that he is screwed. Thanks for helping.; May 12, 2011 at 8:40 AM

Next they'll be running shine and rolling there own.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
