What's more, taken to a mental health hospital (for a flight over chocoo's next):

Negotiators and a SWAT team from Medford police safely took a man — whose name wasn't released — into protective custody Monday morning in the 500 block of Effie Street, Medford police said in a news release.

He was taken to Rogue Valley Medical Center for a mental-health evaluation.

The man recently had been placed on administrative leave from his job and was "very disgruntled," the news release said.

In two days, the man bought a Heckler & Koch .45-caliber universal self-loading handgun, a Walther .380-caliber handgun and an AK-47 assault rifle, Medford police Lt. Bob Hansen said. All of those firearms were purchased legally, with required record checks by the Oregon State Police.

Medford's hostage negotiators and SWAT team were called in at 3 a.m. Monday and arrived on the scene at about 5:45 a.m., he said.

After a phone conversation with negotiators, the man — who was alone in the home — agreed to come out, Hansen said.

Police seized the recently purchased firearms, as well as another .45-caliber Heckler & Koch handgun and a 12-gauge shotgun. Police are holding the weapons for safekeeping, but no criminal charges have been filed.

Let's see: no crime is committed, but the guy is in prison (or mental hospital -- I thought it's what Soviets did, but I guess not). Plus, it seems clear that the guy wanted to shoot someone, he would not need to buy a .380. And yet... Oregon fascists - are they better than Illinois nazi?

The lesson is pretty clear: your asshole boss can put you in prison for an indefinite period as long as she can fabricate a good scare tale for "The Autorities" (e.g. cops).

The night raid was a neat touch too, right from the NKVD playbook. Get the victim disoriented, and less likely to get his lawer to respond to the scene.

P.S. As we know, Oregon is full of total wackos. Remember how father and son planted a bomb in a bank that killed two cops (who "determined" that the device was a hoax and decided to remove it when it went off)? I can imagine the citizens of Oregon approving of police sending SWAT on a night right to the house of anyone suspictious, but I cannot approve it.
