12:47 am
this elderly lady came in and she started to hyper until 8 and was bar ready to scream. and i'm going ma'am, come down. nothing's gonna happen or what do i do? i really didn't know how to handle the situation and then feeling where to adjust. he saw that he walked over and said shut off. what was the end of that? does it? okay, so that's how it's done. good deal. so that was my, my trial by fire. there's a erroneous view of last night. there was that it was mostly about armed action, which is absolutely not the case. it was mostly about political action. and uh, you know, people were doing good work around women's issues, doing good work, you know, try to get the navy out of the, i guess, you know, all of that. so most of the robberies were credential fund that type of
12:48 am

12:50 am
we've had so much money to steal from here that they couldn't even haul it all away . police estimate that he left about a $1000000.00 behind the i felt we had pulled off a great job and nobody in the car. nobody was hurt. yeah, i was our yes, my friend loaned me his pickup truck and camper. we were on the turnpike in, in pennsylvania and going down this pretty steep hill. and this semi blue past us and we ended up flipped over facing in the opposite direction on the right hand lane of the money that was hidden in the wall behind the walls of the trailer. and the panels burst. one of us jumped in the trailer and started throwing the
12:51 am
money and bags and, and stashing it back before the state police arrived. and god pass that one. the special agent must realize that the federal bureau of investigation selected, solve and closed the of the put a little because the f b. i arrived in point of equal half a century earlier, but rather than merely pursuing criminals agents weren't tasked with squelching the voices of those who were working to gain independence. soon, the mission grows with agents, compiling dossiers on over one 100000 persons of interest. generating nearly 2000000 pages of documents, agents gather details of political affiliation, employment religious practices,
