Huge operation against the Michigan Militia going on right now |
|
according to local news here in Detroit. Just caught the end of the report,I'm not sure where it's taking place but the Washtenaw sheriff's department is on alert. It sounds like it's the FBI doing the raid. A neighbor of one of the houses being raided says "it looks like an army invasion". Sounds pretty serious.

One story didn't sound like it wasn't as big an operation as the other story suggested. Different style of writing I suppose. http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/22978954/detail.htmlhttp://www.wxyz.com/mostpopular/story/FBI-Conducts-Raids/eE6ZljBWa0uFOMUdtOLzvw.cspxIt should be interesting to see what is known.

6. Not on the Free Press or the News or Michigan Daily |
|
That is militia territory -- McVeigh type.

8. The message board at WXYZ is obviously not moderated |
|
Some incredibly horrible racist remarks are allowed to remain. Of the comments that actually pertain to the operation in progress, most believe it's directed against middle easterners; nobody mentioned the possibility that it was directed against militia types.

19. Channel 4 News this morning said it was the Michigan |
|
Militia they were going after. Lenawee/Washtenaw County would be a weird place to find any arabs, let alone arab terrorists.

21. Tell that to Freeperville...they are standing by the idea it's Muslims. |
|
You see the problem. It can't be us strong white true Americans. It has to be the foreigners. What I find interesting is that one person I saw on youtube didn't believe American's could be terrorists. That was reserved solely for foreigners.

26. Can you imagine the microencephalitic implosions that will occur |
|
once the truth becomes apparent? A few of them may feel it prudent to STFU about armed conflict, but I bet the vast majority of freeps start fizzing with rabies.

16. They admired how he had near dictatorial power over his flock, how disciplined his followers were. |

Imagine what the US would look like if David Koresh was president between 2001-2009. Where would we all be?

30. The Waco raid was ordered by Poppy Bush's administration |
|
Janet Reno didn't take office until AFTER the original raid took place because the GOPhers had her appointment stalled in the Senate (where have we heard that before?).

14. Just looking for any reference on the MSM - nothing so far, just |
|
3D movie reviews, golf without Tiger Woods and GOPers complaining about socialism because we now have health insurance regulation.
"They"-possibly HS/JTTF-may be keeping a tight lid on this because it is still going on, and more people are yet to be apprehended. Might not really start to come out till it's all over. "Patriot Act", you know - the Right Wingers asked for it, and it may now be being used against them....

32. wow, those links take one to some scary places |
|
I don't have the psychological training to understand what to do about these guys, but I hope the authorities employ some folks who do.
Part of the problem is that sometimes our agencies are complete dicks but often they are doing a critically important job. We never know which until after the fact - sometimes long after.

33. KPFA just had mention on news, "Christian Militia" they called it. |
|
And they said 8 people had been taken into custody and they were looking for a 9th. This particular 'christian militia' as the police as the enemy. This sounds strange...
