News reports from Washtenaw County, Michigan suggest at least one member of the Hutaree Militia has been arrested in a multiple location operation which include the FBI and Homeland Security.

[Copernicus]

So far no shots fired. Just an ordinary helicopter and battalion of armed men running in all directions raid.

Best regards to all,

It was NOT the Michigan Militia...

The MSM will report this as another terrorist cell having been located and disbanded.

[Liberty Valance]

LOL!

I wonder if Holder has any video of these “militia” types brandishing clubs outside voting locations?

Allegedly selling pipe bombs.

Seems like the local police could have handled this without the sound and fury. (not to mention for pennies on the dollar)

My guess, probably unlicensed HMG’s.

ALL THIS IS GOING TO DO-—is, stir up hate for the government and drive the people underground, and get them better equipped, and more determined to stand their ground. This is a bad move on the part of the Government if there ever was one. Another Ruby Ridge and Waco incident.....people will not forget this.

OK, I’m wrong, didn’t see the other posts.

Figured this is what was happening when I saw the news that the FBI and DHS was raiding someone in Michigan on “terrorist activities”.

Probably a harassment raid just to see what happens and the one guy that was arrested was for “resisting arrest” even though he wasn’t going to be arrested until he resisted.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all if some of the other militias were also raided.

What is a Hutaree? It almost sounds like some kind of exotic bird.

[cripplecreek]

Stirring the pot seems to be the goal.

One of the stories on the big thread says that arrests were made at a memorial service for a recently deceased member. Stunts like that don’t exactly build trust.

[mlocher]

I generally agree with your assessment, but there is not enough data to know what to think. I certainly do not want to see anyone fire a shot at our leaders or try to overthrow the gov't at this point in time. On the other hand, this could simply be political posturing to gain sympathy from Americans who are leaning against the health care bill. That is, it could be a PR stunt to further try to show that those who are against the HC law are dangerous.

If so, as you say, it will not work.

According to FoxNews... Arrests Made in Alleged Militia Activity in Midwest... Seven people have been arrested for allegedly selling pipe bombs in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, Fox News has learned...

Seems like a lot of effort and resources to arrest seven people for allegedly selling pipe bombs. Not to downplay the effects of pipe bombs, but, seems like a bit of overkill.

They didn’t learn anything from WACO. Things like calling them and asking them to come in as the Sheriff of McClennan County, Texas said could have been done with Koresh.

[hinckley buzzard]

No they won't. They will report it as a "right wing hate group."

[Terry Mross]

What dummy would pay for a pipe bomb? They’re fairly easy to make.

Meanwhile, back in Arizona where law enforcement IS DOING ITS F’n JOB, Sheriff Arpaio is continuing to conduct raids to stop human trafficking and human slave trading. Joe seems to have his priorities straight. It’s too bad dumbasses like Holder can’t figure it out.
