While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Lima, (Federal enclave of) Ohio statute enforcement officers (acting under-color-of-law) shoot and kill Tarika Wilson, a mother of six, and seriously wound her one-year-old son during a “drug raid” (home invasion).  The SEOs knew the children were home, but conducted the raid/invasion anyway.

       NOTE: When the residents in a raid/invasion fire the first shot, SEOs will tell that to the media; they did not in this case.
