Hi Les; Thanx for the link, I knew about Robert Rodriguez , and
have some other data on him. He went there several times, and
David knew he was an undercover agent. David actually thought
or hoped he could create some sort of dialog via this guy.
Also David liked Robert and pictured him as just doing his job,
as David didn't really have anything to hide and figured Robert
would report that back and take some heat of the situation.
David anticipated an ATF raid for some time and was very much
wanting to be sure the weapons he had were legal.
I too think Robert Rodriguez was one of the "good" guys, but
unfortunately he was low level and not in the upper loop
who handled him in a way to use him and then betray him.
Chances are when the raid started had David not told Robert
"Their coming , The Aryans are coming," "you better leave"
------------------
< my speculation on this is >
Had Robert been caught inside and killed in the cross
fire the upper loop of that particular ATF unit , which had
been seeded with KKK types and or KKK sympathizers wouldn't have
given a hoot about him. They likely would have been delighted
and had one more Agent down they could squawk about.
---------------
However Robert if he was anything was just a guy trying to
do his job as he saw it, he did leave and he did tell the
unit commanders that David knew they were coming, and he also
had been lead to believe if this happened the raid would be
called off, when it wasn't he saw the leaders for what they
were, and he was horrified at what happened.
Robert of all the ATF agents, has my full Absolution of
any wrong doing.
It took a lot of courage and integrity for Robert to testify
that his bosses were lying, considering all the repercussion
that he had to know they would try to exact on him.
I think Robert, while he likely saw David as strange he did like
him, and most certainly didn't consider David as some
big bad threat.
