I was not aware that the Minuteman Project is a "FReep." But a group of armed people who take the law into their own hands to detain others is vigilantism. Whether that's good or bad is for each person to decide. To me, it's asking for trouble and could lead to some serious problems. These are not going to be just local people defending their property.

The event called the "Minuteman Project" is much like the "FReeps" many here at Free Republic have done. It has been mischaracterized by many as some sort of armed vigilantism. You've been deceived.
