prepared for it and it's war to the
hllt on McDonough and the district at
tOrney of Grand Rapids as well as all
other Americans in this neck of the

a lawless people in that they have
no respect for a law that abridges
their personal liberty, and if we are
TO lave lax, inefficient, sloppy en-

to have rioting, bloodshed and disor-
der everywhere. We've got to stamp
this thing out here once for all if
respect for law and order is to be sus-
tanned, and 1 don't care who opposes
US, whether it's the district attorney
at Grand Rapids, or local authorities,
they've got to get out of the way"
