Cypress Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 http://mfjtribune.com/2011/06/15/david-burgert-militia-leader-hiding/A real life “Rambo” type is on the run after getting involved with a shootout with police.David Burgert, 47 was in a gunfight with the Missoula County sheriff’s deputies where no one was injured but the ex-Marine who is part of a militia group is now being hunted by US agents.It began after a police call about a vehicle traveling erratically near Lolo, Montana. Cops followed him for about 30 miles until he turned into a ditch and fired at officers after they ordered him to surrender. He then dashed into the woods and has been on the lam ever since.Apparently and surprisingly, Burgert had been arrested before back in 2002 over shooting at police and possession of illegal firearms. One would think that at that point his crime spree would have ended after he’d been sentenced to ten years in the slammer. Later he became involved with a group called Project 7 that allegedly has planned to fight police, assassinate officials and take over the US government. What is also crazy is just a week earlier he’d been stopped by cops on a traffic violation and he reportedly had made threats that he was going to retaliate against police and that a SWAT team would have to take him down.Somewhere along the line the cops just didn’t get it. You’ve got a convicted felon who has previously shot at police, belongs to a criminal militia group, stated to officers he was going to kill, and for some reason when they had him in custody they let him go.Can anyone say, “dumbass”?

redkow97 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 That is nothing like Rambo. The police attacked Rambo. Rambo just defended himself. It's actually a sad movie, and a heavy social commentary about how our soldiers were treated after returning from Vietnam. This guy is a nut.

Warlock Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Probably written by someone too young to really know anything about Rambo except for the name. Dude is a bit wack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 The real Rambo also only freaked out because of PTSD. Great movie. I have the 25th anniversary edition. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
