Right Wing Christian group attempts murder/act of terrorism

[MJ12]

DETROIT – Nine alleged members of a Christian militia group that was girding for battle with the Antichrist were charged Monday with plotting to kill a police officer and slaughter scores more by bombing the funeral — all in hopes of touching off an uprising against the U.S. government.

Seven men and one woman believed to be part of the Michigan-based Hutaree were arrested over the weekend in raids in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. The ninth suspect was arrested Monday night after search in rural southern Michigan.

The arrests have dealt "a severe blow to a dangerous organization that today stands accused of conspiring to levy war against the United States," Attorney General Eric Holder said.
Authorities said the arrests underscored the dangers of homegrown right-wing extremism of the sort seen in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that killed 168 people.

Prosecutors said David Stone had identified certain law enforcement officers near his home as potential targets. He and other members discussed setting off bombs at a police funeral, using a fake 911 call to lure an officer to his death, killing an officer after a traffic stop, or attacking the family of an officer, according to the indictment.
After such attacks, the group allegedly planned to retreat to "rally points" protected by trip-wired explosives for a violent standoff with the law.
"It is believed by the Hutaree that this engagement would then serve as a catalyst for a more widespread uprising against the government," the indictment said.


Hutaree says on its Web site its name means "Christian warrior" and describes the word as part of a secret language that few are privileged to know. The group quotes several Bible passages and declares: "We believe that one day, as prophecy says, there will be an Anti-Christ. ... Jesus wanted us to be ready to defend ourselves using the sword and stay alive using equipment."

"It's issues like eminent domain and immigration, and apparently national health care in some quarters," said Cid, a former FBI counterterrorism agent. "It's increasing these people's ire and their discomfort with their own government."

"It was just survival skills," she said. "That's what they were learning. And it's just patriotism. It's in our Constitution."

I don't think they know how to read, how do they know what's in the constitution.

You mean that after whipping people into a fanatical rage and telling folks that the government needs to be fought at every step to prevent us from turning into a socialist dystopia, some people are actually resorting to violence?

Well shit, I am so god damn surprised.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Kill them, every one.

 

[ríomhaire]

War on terror plz, amirite?

 

[Eejit]

It's not terrorism if they're doing it for a God who is white.

So I say that this stuff is going to happen and you're all like "Nah lol"

And look what happens.

Extremist groups in the minority exist. Muslim, Christian... Buddhist... it doesn't matter, they're out there. This only reinforces that fact. I see a lot of outrage from Christians on this matter, screaming that, "these aren't Christians... they don't follow god. They don't follow the bible." Well... exactly. Now you know how your average non violent Muslim feels.

Religion does give dubious men excuses for their actions, as they see it, however. That much is true. Throughout history we have seen it. Jihads, Crusades, Genocide...

Aren't the extremist right wing Christian groups the ones that keep posting videos about reptilian Governments?

Something that i have absolutely no idea was part of Christianity for that matter.

 

[No Limit]

Every main stream news source I saw report on this called them a militia group. Not one said they were a terrorist group. Obviously no suprise there, just pointing it out.

Dissidents are black or brown, freedom fighters are white, terrorists are black and bearded, militias are white and bearded,

You know what, I am happy with this news. After hearing of Islamic terrorism for years it is good to have a change. Too bad they failed though.

The only thing in America worst than foreign terroism is domestic terrorism. The only thing they're going to accomplish is a wicked backlash against the whole "teaparty movement," which is already a pretty small group in its own right.

Also, did I ever mention I hate stupid people?

why would americans care about terrorism outside of america? of course they care about terrorism within their own borders cuz they dont own all that stuff outside of their borders ...cuz it's not theirs ..well parts of iraq, afghanistan, cuba, the dominican republic, haiti, israel etc are but that's it ...also the moon, the bottom of the ocean, mars the milky way .. :E

 

[StarBob]

Poorly worded, I meant domestic terroism from foreign sources. Domestic terroism from domestic sources is much worse though because we can't declare a war. America barely even notices foreign terroism.

Well with all the bizarre posts like that I read from you, I can't tell if you're a total bullshitter or dead serious.
