Accused cop killer compares deputy to Hitler, Stalin in court

The founding fathers probably would have actually disciplined their daughters at young ages so they wouldn't turn out to be little criminals who think they are princesses.

bobknows said on March 13, 2010 at 8:34 AM

Its good to see that these blogs aren't censored so heavily that only the police state party line is allowed (like at the Times). The government has been waging war against the people for decades and it gets worse every year. There will be more and more good citizens who are willing to fight back against the front line Gestapo troops in blue shirts. For those who use the term "good cop" it is an oxymoron. There is no such thing as a "good" swine except the kind that gets served for breakfast with the eggs. And of course the National Socialist government is persecuting their POW, and their propaganda machine is running full tilt drumming up hate. Many sheep would rather go along than fight back or even speak out against tyranny. It's good to see some men like "repetitively" speaking out against the police state tyranny that now rules our once-free nation.

yessir said on March 13, 2010 at 6:31 AM

Rep, for the record... I enjoyed your attempts to slight me... now it's time to don my jack-boots and board my black helicopter so I can keep a careful eye on you and your "patriot" rabble! By the way.... this younger generation you so defame? You raised them. You set the example into motion. You, not some nebulous government police state, are to blame. I understand you think I am some blind footed fool who marches lock-step to the drums of propaganda. I get that. I appreciate you actually even believe it Rep. But Rep.... here's the other reality...you and those like you are irrational, and (with the exception of your rhetoric to inspire the less stable in the fringe of your disjointed confederacy to violence) utterly silly. The more you people talk.... the more the rest of America agrees with me. Keep talking. Keep praising the concepts of this world's Monforts. Keep making it easy for me. I look forward to seeing you pave the road more in the days ahead. Be well in life brother..

masterblaster said on March 13, 2010 at 12:14 AM

For the information of anyone who cares, I was in the Tea Party movement until the repugnican mainstream co-opted it. I write to my representatives and express my opposition to the police state using my name and I spoke up at my caucus a and county conventions and supported others who did at the state republican convention in 2008. One does not get elected as a delegate if people disagree with his ideas.

repetivity said on March 12, 2010 at 9:00 PM

What does "We" mean when referencing striking a nerve? Are you referring to the voices in your head?

repetivity said on March 12, 2010 at 8:59 PM

At least give attribution to Saul Alinsky since you are so ineptly using his tools.

yessir said on March 12, 2010 at 8:36 PM

LOL... calling me a fascist.... looks like we struck a nerve with Rep

yessir said on March 12, 2010 at 8:29 PM

Now the personal attacks Rep? I see where the "repetivity" part comes in. That's what you've resorted to? Have you lost your sense of directly entirely? By the way... I addressed numerous times that abuses have occurred in our police force... but I also suggested, that implications that these were "the routine" were utter myth. For this I'm declared a fascist? LOL

repetivity said on March 12, 2010 at 8:22 PM

As predictable as the other tactic (Yours). Failure to address actual points of argument. Oh, and you should look fascism up in the dictionary because you define it.

yessir said on March 12, 2010 at 8:14 PM

Ah... one thing is reliable on the internet... whenever someone's losing an argument... they try to call their opponent a fascist. Nazi is more commonly used, but you at least resorted to one of the wonderful isms.

yessir said on March 12, 2010 at 8:11 PM

Though I must admit Rep... that luscious string of ridiculous tea party rhetoric you rattled off made me smile.

repetivity said on March 12, 2010 at 8:08 PM

Yes. You are correct YS. That is the problem. People are either ill-equipped or too lazy to address issues and prefer to spout your brand of ignorant sloganism so people like me grow weary and give up the fight. You, my brother, are a fascist. You are the exact opposite pole of the permissive liberals we have all grown to despise. You doth think too little and prefer to shout down valid opposition.

yessir said on March 12, 2010 at 7:57 PM

Oh.. you do conceal these extreme views Rep... I know better. You don't preach these in public Rep. Nah... you hide under your anonymous name on the internet... where there's no accountability. Supporting the views of murderers. Patriot? No... no patriot Rep

yessir said on March 12, 2010 at 7:53 PM

On these blogs... it almost seems hopeful doesn't it rep... you run into a few others who hold views like yourself... You all agree with each other... Occasionally an unfamiliar screen name stops by and agrees as well. There of course is no accountability, is there rep... you can say these things without having someone calling BS to your face.... you can say them and not have people stare at you like you are nuts. Oh sure... you might get someone like me challenging your statements... but there's no accountability. You can say whatever you want... no one can see you. You can hide. Me I call Monfort a murderer in public. Do you go to city council meetings and say.... "you know that Monfort who killed the cop and tried to kill two others... he makes a lot of sense". Do you stand up in church and tell your fellow perishioners this? Of course you don't Rep... you know they'd all stare at you like you were crazy. "Crazy" Rep. Stark raving nuts. They all just don't "get it"... eh?

repetivity said on March 12, 2010 at 7:52 PM

I don't conceal my beliefs. That is one of those peculiar oddities that made this Once Great Nation Great. It is people like you: The feeble-minded, who must paint life in blacks and whites instead of addressing real ills that are not so clear; who have caused the constant decline of this nation to the common denominator of emotional pleas. Your oversimplicity and failure to take a stand for right costs us dearly day after day.

repetivity said on March 12, 2010 at 7:41 PM

YS. Regardless of how one defines good or evil, the statement remains true.

yessir said on March 12, 2010 at 7:32 PM

Rep... I'd like it clear that you just implied Monfort is a "solider". I call him what he truly is. A murderer. By the way... a "vast" majority of the public agrees with me... and they would find your logic particularly demented. How does it feel to know a vast majority of the people don't see you as a "patriot" Rep... they see you as advocating home grown terrorism. Go into public meetings... say a city council meeting... say these things out loud Rep... see how well you are received. Go to a church service... stand up and exclaim it loud Rep... put your courage where your hidden internet claims are. Let's see if you have any "true" courage or you are just another internet troll?

yessir said on March 12, 2010 at 7:26 PM

Rep... I've seen no evidence to suggest you are "good man"... Lord... grant me just one worthy opponent

repetivity said on March 12, 2010 at 7:09 PM

All that must happen for evil to prevail is for a good man to do nothing.

repetivity said on March 12, 2010 at 7:09 PM

Yessir. Perfect handle by the way. Just get in line and say "Yessir". The same logic you would employ to justify "collateral damage" (innocent civilians killed by soldiers in war) can be used here. Mr. Monfort "killed the wrong cops" as these were (presumably) "good cops". His goal (and increasingly the goal of the people) is to re-examine their blind faith in those given authority over them.

yessir said on March 12, 2010 at 4:24 PM

Nah... Many are doing the right thing... and some (a very small %) are not. This allegation that cops are routinely executing people is sheer myth. Has it happened? Yes. Does it routinely happen? No. We've a few posters going on about the King County police officer who took down that girl in the holding cell... Why do you keep pretending he wasn't arrested? He was. Or pretend that he wasn't fired? He was. Again, Monfort not only failed to target the right officer... he didn't even get the right police agency. And we also see his initial action was to attack public facilities, damaging public property (you will be paying for), setting additional incendiary devices with the intent of killing or injuring firefighters who came to fight the vehicle fires. This guy was hoping to kill/injure anyone associated with the government. So... Who would I rather stand with? Certainly not Monfort or the people lamely trying to rationalize his murderous acts with some inane Tea Party rhetoric.

alicynx said on March 12, 2010 at 3:13 PM

random!=irrational. He makes some valid points, even if they are unrelated to his defense of his acts. I have no hatred for cops but I can say that I was ready to volunteer 15 minutes of my time in a cell with that SOB that beat up a 15 year old - cops are out of control in this country, and while there are some who are doing the right thing there are many who are not. When citizens are dying at the hands of our protectors, its time to re-evaluate how we're being protected. As long as we have folks blindly following the status quo, that's not gonna happen.

carlconstantine said on March 12, 2010 at 3:11 PM

yessir - You said "He targeted two police officers he knew nothing about." Yes, and that's why he is amazingly rational. He attacked good cops for what cops in general, have come to represent, to a lot of people. You don't want to talk about the legitimate reasons for his actions. He didn't just kill people at random. He killed someone based on what the uniform has come to represent. The answer should be "deal with the reasons why the uniform has come to represent what he was trying to kill." It's time to learn from our mistakes, otherwise we repeat the same mistakes...

yessir said on March 12, 2010 at 2:19 PM

Amazingly rational? His speech certainly sounded well rehearsed, and likely lessens his ability to use a psych defense, and instead moves him into the realm of a domestic terrorist. Consider that he directly targeted a US government representative. As for his actions, he didn't even target the specific subject of his fury. He targeted two police officers he knew nothing about. An assessment that "all" police are murderers is ludicrous. An assessment that "all" police are corrupt is ludicrous. Even in Monforts own twisted view of government and the police, his decision to murder an officer(s) (he tried to kill at least 3), he chose officers that may well have been everything good (in his estimation) of what police officers should be. The point is... he didn't truly care "who" he murdered. Rational? No... his violence was utterly random and therefore, any belated attempt to assign political justification to it, is likewise utterly random. No rational... at all

carlconstantine said on March 12, 2010 at 1:13 PM

repetivity - You are absolutely right! Good job. The guy brings up some very good points. He tried to make valid points while he was in college and thereafter but nobody was listening. He escalated is game in order to get full and undivided attention. The guy is rational and makes a lot of sense. Blasting those cops was not the answer, but obviously his other attempts fell on deaf ears. Let's not forget that there were at least 3 other people that blasted cops within a 6 month period of time. Executing him is not the answer. He appears to be a person that has something to offer to society. He's an educated person that is pretty much misunderstood. He can have a radio show and tell why he did what he did. He would probably have very high ratings and it would be far more interesting than Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, and Howard Stern. Give him a show on NPR Radio.

repetivity said on March 12, 2010 at 12:25 PM

He sounds amazingly rational to me. Those of you who want to call him mentally ill have a difficult case to prove. His hatred is no different than those who hate any other class of individual based on their color. His hatred is for the color blue. Are there reasons to hate blue. Absolutely and without a doubt. Police are not Saints. Those of you who blindly support them ARE blind. However, just as I would not condone random acts of violence against someone based on their skin color, I do not condone this random act of violence based on their uniform color. We are all entitled to our prejudice and hatred so long as we do not hurt others as a result. That is the essence of what America stands (or stood) for.

scoty said on March 12, 2010 at 12:00 PM

Shoot him, we have seen his kind before, The Unibomber, Timothy McVey, the 911 Terrorists. Shoot him now and get it over with, this guy is a puke.

daverino said on March 12, 2010 at 11:59 AM

Most people that end up in a jail cell are out of control. otherwise they would just pay a fine and go about thier way. The police have the job of catching out of control people and saving us from them. We can go about our legitamate business with out getting runover or robbed, attacked or murdered. Sounds like a good deal to me. I havent been beaten up by the cops. I must be some kind of a wuss.

bobknows said on March 12, 2010 at 10:41 AM

clothyard said on March 12, 2010 at 9:31 AM

This guy is a real piece of work. Does any Rational human being actually believe that he killed a police officer and tried to kill another because he saw a teenage street hoodlum being physically abused by a totally different police officer? And his lawyer with the "No, don't, stop, etc etc etc...." IMO staged, the lawyer wanted it out in the media and will use it in some sort of defense scenario. If the prosecutors can prove that, then that slimeball lawyer needs a disbarment proceeding.

yessir said on March 12, 2010 at 5:55 AM

You know... for the "cops are executioners" crowd.... You've been conveniently ignoring that this murderer, Monfort, is still alive. The police could have easily put a round in his head at the scene.... Yet there he is... ranting madly in custody, despite the fact that he tried to kill yet another officer at the time of his arrest. Same thing with the guy who shot and killed a King County Police officer back in 2002. He could have easily been shot and killed during his arrest. Yet he was arrested unharmed and stood trial. These claims of judge, jury and executioner that you hear out of a few posters on these blogs are the ridiculous rants of people who've probably been on the wrong side of the law in their lives and hold a pathetic resentment to what they perceive as "authority figures".

billiameveryman said on March 12, 2010 at 12:22 AM

Tomma, I don't think anyone would excuse it if cops drove up to random cars and tried to kill everyone in them, but what many of the anti-cop posters here call murder by cop is what most people consider self defense or the defense of others...

wittyname said on March 11, 2010 at 10:26 PM

Many law enforcement officials are out of control and those who are not are reluctant to speak out against their fellow officers. Reason? Imagine you end up in a fire fight and your back up is an officer that you had arrested a week earlier for DUI. Rather uncomfortable I think. This is the most common reason cops will not report other cops. That said, we do have SOME very fine individuals working in law enforcement as well. Thumbs up to the great cops, thumbs down to the cops making everyone in law enforcement look bad.

carlconstantine said on March 11, 2010 at 10:14 PM

The guy made some very good points. Nobody wants to admit that the police made a lot of enemies due to years and years of abuse of power and authority. The legal system in Washington is totally jacked up. Some people approved when he burned the police vehicles up, but blasting those cops was taking it too far. I think that the guy should get probation and no prison time since he's in a wheelchair now and is not a danger to the community. I mean, what could he do? Do a drive by shooting in a wheelchair? Hah! Hah! Hah!

masterblaster said on March 11, 2010 at 10:12 PM

As long as police officers insist on appointing themselves judge, jury and executioner/punisher we'll see more attacks on them. It may be morally wrong but it is going to happen.

Too bad he isn't dead from the hairline down! That being said, the death penalty is the only answer for this dirtbag because... He needs to repay his debt to his victims family and to us, society at large. Also, with his attitude, he would continue to infuse and affect others around him ( particularly in prison) for the rest of his life. Some of those (prisoners) around him are bound to be influenced by this guy. We cannot take that chance. He has no remorse whatsoever. He needs to be eliminated. There has never been a stronger case for capital punishment.

billiameveryman said on March 11, 2010 at 7:59 PM

Hmm, so by his logic, the cops would be justified in killing any black man they came upon? How ridiculous, he is more guilty of prejudice than 99.999999% percent of the cops in this world, this idiot thinks he is going to turn his trial into a referendum of policing in Seattle and in America, he thinks he's gonna walk on jury nullification... He is a dangerous psycho, I hope his paralyzed lower body still manages to hurt him as much as possible... "Dead from the waist down" poor guy, the cop he killed is not so lucky...

chococity said on March 11, 2010 at 7:44 PM

You had to know it was only a matter of time before bobknows or tomma got on here and made an idiotic statement. I will give bobknows this.... everyone needs to be good at something... he's good at making utterly moronic and pitiful statements. He snipes and then runs and hides, and undoubtedly gets off on his perceived power... but it's no power at all. Just another pathetic lost soul.

anonym22 said on March 11, 2010 at 6:59 PM

I think he is determined to justify his actions, well, justice has served him already. That's no way to act because of an assaulted 15 year old, maybe back in the days he was referring to. BTW, I hate people who rant about taxpayers' money on every news story, quit complaing or move somewhere else b/c you're only adding to the problem.
