Instead their inane fear of organized religion and their fear of firearms guide their thoughts. So I suppose some left-wing socialist gun hater will use this case to stir up dissent against gun owners AND Christians alike simply by association. Makes me sad.

If these allegations are true, these clowns are "Christians" in the same way the Westboro Baptist Church pondscum are "Christians".

However, it seems odd that they would be a militia group, ostensibly on alert, planning to kill law enforcement and have a fall-back plan, yet when presented with the opportunity to fire at law enforcement, they didn't. And, they didn't have a fall-back plan if they were being raided or otherwise compromised. (Calling a neighboring militia and asking for a place to hide ain't a great fall-back plan IMO.)

This smells funny.

Seems that the IED's was part of a plan to detonate them at funerals for LEO's they killed. Bad reporting in the IED's being randomly set or protection for a fall back zone.

The story is in the Prosecuter and the Judge who advocated the warrants.

[sheriffoconee]

they have already been indicted...which means that a grand jury already has heard some, if not most, of the Government's case....it wasn't a matter of a warrant application...

we shall see....

One guy still on the loose. Kid of the leader.

The fact that a Grand Jury has already decided backs up that a deep undercover agent was there. These things are not just random targets. Be safe, amigos

[gorknoids]

IED's are a federal offense. Intent, religious affiliation and all the rest are secondary. If they had them, it's a good bust. As for the insinuations posited by the media, the worse the story, the more copies you sell. I do find it odd (Or "did", as of this morning.) that they only arrested 3 people in all of those coordinated raids.

[skullcrusher]

8 arrested until 'bout an hour ago. The fugitive was caught, so 9 total.

The FBI has likely infiltrated nearly every "militia" group in the country. They have not moved against the others because they have not done anything illegal or illegal enough to warrant a raid.

Sounds like they had imminent fear they were about to act. If you do not think we are infiltrated here, think again. I would bet $100 the posts here are fairly regulary monitored. Type accordingly.

The Feds SHOULD at least monitor sites like this. We do a good job (Slap on back) of banning the obvious nut jobs and reining in the ones on the fence. There are some openly hate based sites that deserve attention.

IF, you are a member of a "Militia" or "Patriot" group, be VERY careful about your conduct. Do not engage in banter that could be interpreted as promoting armed dissent.

That's wisdom all the way around. Well said, sir
