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.

ISIS-wannabe version of F-Troop.
A motley crew indeed.
If this had happened here in Los Angeles, the D.A. would have them released by noon, with a stern lecture to the cops on “Islamophobia”.
Moorons!
I’m with you - there’s a lack details. Seems like an instance of being arrested for ‘suspicion’ - which is just Police asserting what they *want* to do, which doesn’t mean any laws have been broken, all while they may be violating 4th Amendment rights.
The should be treated as fellow travelers. Biden, etal, does not recognize our laws either.
Article says the groups name is “Rise of the Moors”. So yes Islamic group.
Another look at this bunch of mostly peaceful objectors. No doubt Q-anon foot soldiers.

As my sister used to ask: “Who are the moors?”
To demand ID requires reasonable suspicion of a specific crime. Just ‘suspicious’ isn’t enough.
These guys may be up to no good. They may be just exercising their rights - but until law enforcement can site the statute where a law is being broken they have no authority. Otherwise they’re just fishing for crimes and violating the 4A.
The gun laws from the 60s came about because of the fear of black people arming themselves during the urban unrest.
If these guys are just exercising their rights, then let them.
heavily armed = Second Amendment
fringe group = First Amendment
The commie media dropped this story like a sack of potatoes when they found out the armed militia were blacks..guess armed militias are fine and dandy as long as they vote Democrat..gee where’s Garland on this one..crickets
They’re “fringe”. I think that’s illegal now, right?
Sounds to me like they have done nothing wrong other than carrying firearms and dressing weird. If that's the case, then they are under no obligation to provide ID unless they are going to be detained for suspicion of breaking a law.
Totally agree
Just because the cops want to see an ID doesn’t mean you have to show him. Os the state open carry?
It sounds to me as if no laws were broken
LOLOLOLOLOL
No, a variation on Sovereign Citizens for black people.
Yep Democrats
Or as we call it here, “The boys going out to play in the woods over the weekend. “
