Remember those "Hutaree" Nut jobs?

[Motown_Johnny]

The ones who wanted to start a war by killing a cop, then killing more at the first one's funeral.


If we assume that there are other groups with similar ideals and goals still out there then doesn't the current situation present an opportunity to them?


If they attack or even kill politicians and/or prominent politicos then the current climate might just provoke the type of civil unrest they want.

1. Yes I do.

I reported it on my blog as news reports came in. It was one of my more viewed days according to my stats. So I remember it quite well.

2. Yes I remember them.

We are in a dangerous time, no doubt there are copy cats taking inspiration from what happened this past weekend

6. Some around here don't think they're nuts.

In fact, they even sympathize with them.

8. Really?

I wonder if there's overlap with the "Don't Bomb The Moon!" crowd.

7. Weren't they the "Punish me with your dildo mallet" guys?

Yeah, that was some weird shit.

10. ummm. no, I don't remember that part of the story

there were militia types dressing up in camo and running around the woods with guns


then they thought they could spark a civil war with the plan I mentioned in my OP

11. FWIW, you may have missed the most bizarre part of that whole story, man.

9. Anyone who advocates violence as a political tool is crazy as a loon and should be locked up

Not sure a loon is crazy but I've heard and read that all my life so for now I'll use it as a descriptor
