Nine in ‘heavily armed’ fringe group arrested after standoff in Massachusetts

Nine people in a “heavily armed” group which “does not recognize our laws” were arrested early Saturday after a standoff with state police in Massachusetts which shut down I-95, according to reports.

“We have several armed persons accounted for at this scene on Rt 95. They are refusing to comply with orders to provide their information and put down their weapons,” the Massachusetts State Police said on Twitter.

Yep, obviously white supremacists

I thought this was one of those old news accounts from 250 years ago

Golly - this sounds an awful lot like the people Biden wants to hunt down with the FBI and Homeland Security...

I bet he’ll be right on top of this...

White police harassing 'people of color.'

No mention in the article of what laws, if any, are alleged to have been broken by the arrestees.

I may be old fashioned but that still seems important to me.

I don’t think so. They labeled them “fringe “. That means they don’t fit our model.

It’s Massachussets, a heavily blue state so I imagine they have 9 billion gun laws preventing people from owning a water pistol to a rifle

Looking at the pictures I would be willing to bet that they turn out to be Moslems. New England has several Moslem training centers in the mountains, Black Nationalists, too.

I suspect the police involved in this standoff will be vilified and forced to quit. Then they’ll be sued by the moors.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Any mention that they are Mooslims?

Heavily armed

Were Their arms were like 25 inches around

Yet Moor armed supremacists. ;-)

Maybe none; maybe being heavily armed in public in MA is a violation. At any rate, a cop thought they might be suspicious, doing his job, asked them for ID and they ran. It follows that further inquiry is indicated, which is what happened. But first, of course, they have to be asked again, thus necessitating their temporary detention. If the government is entitled to spy on unarmed TV journalists, then one suspects they might be given a bit of latitude to inquire about this group. Agree?

I-95 there is also “America’s technology highway: 128”

[plain talk]

The group calls themselves "Rise of the Moors"

How soon before Rolling Stoned puts them on the cover as the best new boy band?

These "Moorish" clowns are in the category of the sovereign citizen loonies and looks like they took it up a notch with the firearms.
Some of them make their own license plates and when pulled over by the cops they claim they are not "driving" but simply "traveling". It usually goes bad from there.
