 Ed Brown claims war is coming and also threatens the life of anyone who brings him down.

If federal agents storm Brown’s property, he and his supporters will come out shooting. Brown said yesterday that if those agents kill him or his wife, Elaine, his supporters will systematically find and kill Plainfield Police Chief Gordon Gillens, Sullivan County Sheriff Michael Prozzo and others Brown says are sworn to protect him.

  Also this:

  On June 7, more than 100 heavily armed state and federal law enforcement officers swarmed the area around the Browns’ home. While taking a morning walk, 39-year-old Danny Riley, a supporter who was staying there, discovered armed officers in the woods near the driveway. He claims he was shot at, struck with a Tazer, detained and questioned for hours before being released.

That’s when the war started, Brown says.

“If they’re willing to kill him, then they’re willing to come in here and kill us,” he said. “We’re in a state of war now, and we’re going to act accordingly.”

  This doesn’t sound like a man that has any intention of surrender, I don’t see how this can end peacefully.

“It has never, ever been resolved without war!” an infuriated Brown shouted during an interview on his porch Wednesday.

  Ed Brown claims he has more, and better supporters coming very soon to aide him in what he calls war. This is going to get very, very ugly when it comes to a head.
