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.

I have been to the Minuteman Project web site and they state they are "neutral" on weapons. The other group directly involved, Civil Homeland Defense is much more specific about carrying weapons. And do you think they will be able to control everyone of the hundreds, possibly thousands of people who show up, particularly Stormfront? As I said, these are not going to all be local people, defending their homes. I agree with Jim Robinson in post #1 and I don't think this is something we should be promoting here. But you are entitled to your own opinions.

Looking logically at the only evidence presented (the stormfront links), I still don't see how it has been proven to be related to anyone who was banned.

I suppose I just haven't chosen the right "pill"...
