Bryan Malinowski, executive director of Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock, was fatally wounded in a shootout as ATF agents tried to serve a search warrant at his home.

An executive for the Little Rock, Arkansas, airport who was killed in a shootout with federal agents this week had been under investigation over gun sales, search warrant records unsealed Thursday show.

Bryan Malinowski, 53, who was executive director of Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport, was shot after he opened fire at federal agents who arrived to serve a warrant Tuesday morning, officials said.

Malinowski died Thursday, his family said. His brother has said he was shot in the head.

    You know how in the USA you’re supposedly innocent until PROVEN guilty? Yeah well being shot to death in your own house while being innocent in accordance of the law says you have no rights at all.

    He could have been guilty. We don’t know. He was never tried. He was executed in cold blood as an innocent man.

      Then maybe don’t start shooting when agents come to your door with a valid search warrant.

      You challenge things in court, not with a gun.

        That’s the opposite argument every weapon carrying redneck in America uses. You serve justice at the door, not the court.

        Serving a no knock at dawn by a paramilitary force is not something that happens in a free democracy.

        Fuck these and all police.
