(CNN) -- [Update 2:15 p.m. ET] "We are taking precautions to protect elected officials in the county," Kaufman County, Texas, Sheriff David Byrnes said at a news conference Sunday after District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, were found dead Saturday in their home.
[Posted at 9:29 a.m. ET]
Two months ago, a Texas district attorney vowed to put away the "scum" who had killed one of his top deputies.
Now, the district attorney and his wife are dead. And authorities aren't sure whether their killings are part of a broader scheme targeting criminal justice officials.

Looks like the cops need to get old school on these AB goofballs and put the fear of God in'em.
If I was the sheriff in that country, I would find a few hard hittin' deputies to track these dudes down and make them wish they had behaved themselves a little better.
Nothing like a War between White Supremacists and LEO. Taking out an officer of the Court in the state of Texas has got to be the first steps toward committing suicide.
If I was running the show, it wouldn't be much of a war; more like a turkey shoot and the AB would be the turkeys.
Obviously, it would be a violation of their constitutional rights, but I doubt anyone would shed any tears for a few dead scumbags that are assissinating district attornies.

When people take shots at officers of the law or the court, killing them and their families, the constitutional rights of the perps go by the wayside. Just ask Chris Dorner.
Oh we can't. He was burnt to a crisp. I think I totally understand why.
Leave.Now the Koch brother's Tea Party have new heros to worship.

Well, no, not in every case. A cop's family, or a DA's family isn't more important than my family. But, I think this is one of those cases where the rules should be bent a little bit.
Are you serious? Did you just post that?
It is to cops and the DA.
Now the Koch brother's Tea Party have new heros to worship.
And my family is more important to me.
As it should be...which would explain why cops and the DA feel the way they do about theirs.
Me too, but I understand the psychology behind it.The problem I have with that, is that means when it's a civilian's family, they're not putting forth as much effort to tack down the bad guys. I'e always had a problem with that.
That is weird straw, this leftist has always been concerned about domestic terrorists, the funny thing is that those with the highest body counts in the US .......have been right wingers.And this is being reported in CNN, crooksandliars.com, Chicago Tribune, talkingpointsmemo.com? Finally some terrorists that left wingers can get concerned about!
The problem is that this story has a built in political component.Koch bashing would be two threads to the Left. This thread is in "breaking news", a forum where politically partisan views take a bit of a back seat to discussing breaking news.

I think the Aryan Brotherhood beat them to it.You know, its amazing that you and down low feel a need to make this partisan.
I can't help the fact that you don't want to accept the probable outcome, that this was another assassination of a govt official by a rw extremist organization.Really? Is it Texas, the White Supremacists, the DA, or has people murdered in their home developed a partisan angle to it which I don't recognize?
