Bureau of Prisons explains Fincher denial day after wife's burial

An unidentified spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons issued a terse explanation for denying a furlough to Hollis Wayne Fincher, keeping him from attending graveside services for his deceased wife, Linda. The email was received by an aide to AR Rep. Steve Womack on Friday afternoon, September 2--services were held Thursday, September 1:
This is in response to your inquiry concerning the above inmate attending a funeral.
After carefully reviewing the matter, it has been determined that Mr. Fincher does not qualify for a furlough to attend the funeral based on the nature of his offense. Additionally, his presence in the community could attract undue public attention and create an unusual concern in the community, because of the extent of public knowledge of the offense.
Fincher's "offense"--that is, what representatives of the federal machine find offensive, is standing up for his right to keep and bear arms suitable for militia service--as is supposedly guaranteed by the very document his oath-breaking persecutors swore to uphold and defend. The absolutely nonviolent "nature" of his "offense" was defiance of their unconstitutional rules--and that is something they will not tolerate--no matter how well behaved their captive has been, and even if he is scheduled to be released in less than a year.
And there was no careful review--that is a demonstrable lie, as the graveyard itself is so out of the way that directions to attend services cautioned "Mineral Springs Rd. is not well marked." Go ahead and enter "Mineral Springs Cemetery, West Fork, AR" into Google Maps and see for yourself how far removed from the "community" it is, and how attracting "undue public attention" at that locale would be laughable on its face--were those doing the laughing not our insolent and cruel "public servants."
And as for "unusual concern," that's just their way of insulting Fincher's family, friends and supporters--like they would abuse a solemn occasion of sadness and respect to be disruptive or worse.
This is a typical, heartless bureaucratic response where no one is personally accountable. It is an in-your-face not only to Fincher and his family, but from the federal bureaucracy to the entire Patriot movement.
It is also a warning: Cross them and the same will happen to you, and while your family is grieving, the faceless, vindictive "officials" who impose diktats they know will cause you pain, will drive home on Friday night for the long weekend--oh, the services were yesterday?-- secure in their publicly-funded positions, benefits, pensions...
