There’s no doubt in my mind that this group crossed a line.

For discussion’s sake alone, I’d like to know at what point they crossed it.

I don’t think being a quarter mile from a school is relevant, since most all of us are.

I’m willing to bet the use of the words ‘improvised explosive devices’ are used to deceive the reader. They could apply to homemade land mines just as well as primers - which every reloader in America has on hand.

Is it the grenades? ‘Machine gun’? Military rank?

Just curious...

Personally, I view that his group past a certain line when it started to accrue such a heavy arsenal. Given that this group is believed to be anti-government and violent, one can believe that things were coming to a boiling point.

During searches, agents recovered 130 grenades, a grenade launcher, a machine gun, a short-barreled shotgun, two silencers, 2,500 rounds of ammunition, explosive components, about 70 improvised explosive devices, 100 marijuana plants and commercial fireworks at the four locations. Agents said the men were using powder from the fireworks to fill the grenades.

They were setting up for something, something that probably wouldn't have been good.
