The court ordered the kid returned, police tried to talk the extended family into releasing the boy back to his father. They refused to comply with the lawful order so the border agents had to enter the home to enforce the order and send the child home to his father who had legal custody.
Going off on a tangent here, but this is a perfect example of how screaming yellow TV journalism influences opinions in this country. And then we wonder why the worst candidate gets nominated by both parties every election ...

It shouldn't surprise anyone if the FBI raided a facility like that. That's their job and in Italian government, it's the job of the Guardia di Finanza (Finance Guard).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20731953 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:09:14 EDT Re: The Italian Army is attacking file sharers???!!! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20731728 insomniac84 : Comment referred to what you said, "We certainly wouldn't be shocked if the FBI raided a similar facility if it were in the US."]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20731728 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 13:31:43 EDT Re: The Italian Army is attacking file sharers???!!! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20730161 Dogfather : Yes we would what? And we were what?

At least make some attempt to follow the topic. That Cuban brat as ZERO to do with enforcing the Copyright Act.

But since you bring it up, you should actually read the links you post.

NO ONE was surprised that the gov't enforced the court order. And it wasn't the FBI, it was border agents who enforced the court ordered return of the kid. Given that the family told the gov't that they would "deal" with any intrusion, of course border agents were prepared to defend themselves and no one was injured. Hell, the SWAT officers even knocked first and only entered after no one answered the door.

The court ordered the kid returned, police tried to talk the extended family into releasing the boy back to his father. They refused to comply with the lawful order so the border agents had to enter the home to enforce the order and send the child home to his father who had legal custody.

If someone else in your family stole your kid and took him to another country, you would pray for that gov't to safely get your child back to you. That's what happened.

Not only that, but 3 of those arrested were children.

And since when did the military become the MAFIAA's enforcer?
How old were these so-called kids? 17?

And they do this since the Guardia di Finanza were always tasked with this type of law enforcement just like the FBI does here.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20729060 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 22:36:39 EDT Re: The Italian Army is attacking file sharers???!!! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20729004 Dogfather : The Guardia di Finanza (the Finance Guard) is not the "Italian Army". They're a subdivision and a law enforcement arm of their Economy and Finance agency. They're like a mix of the Secret Service, DEA, FBI, ICE, Coast Guard and US Treasury agents rolled into one. They go after drug trafficers, tax evaders, cyber criminals, etc. It's not like army 'regulars' stormed a place and hauled out a bunch of kids.

We certainly wouldn't be shocked if the FBI raided a similar facility if it were in the US.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20729004 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 22:27:01 EDT Re: The Italian Army is attacking file sharers???!!! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20728873 MrMoody : I'm glad the military aren't allowed to be police here.
