George, you are embarrassing yourself. You, if reasonable, would find it difficult to defend storm trooper tactics. At least, before obtaining a court order and/or just knocking on the door and asking for turn over of the child. I think of "krystal nacht" in Germany when I see this. Germany was ruled by Hitler and his "police state" cronies and his Gestapo. The people were helpless because if anyone challenged the "regime" they were neutralized. Taken to jail, etc.. I do not want to see that here. We have always taken pride in being a free country and people having rights. I don't disagree that the child should be with his father but, in America, he deserved his day in court. Reno also wanted the family to sign all their rights away. Not a fair request. In short, I don't think the issue is who should have the boy. The bigger issue is is this the kind of America we want. We have first hand input here, better than Waco or Ruby Ridge. Would our government have shot the fisherman or any of the other people last night if they would have resisted? I hate to ponder the answer. And, I hope I am wrong. Frank
