11 ‘heavily armed’ members of an extremist militia group arrested; media buries mention that they are Black

Posted on 07/04/2021 3:54:44 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Imagine if these people were White! It would be the top story all weekend, and you know it. But they are Black, so only in the 22nd paragraph of this New York Times article does the word “Black” appear.

(source)

First paragraph:

Eleven men were taken into custody on Saturday after a lengthy roadside standoff between police officers in Massachusetts and a group of heavily armed men in tactical gear who claimed to be part of a group called Rise of the Moors.

Twenty-second paragraph:

“We do not intend to be hostile, we do not intend to be aggressive,” he added later. “We are not anti-government, we are not anti-police, we are not sovereign citizens and we are not Black identity extremists.”

The New York Post was less obscurantist, but still shy. It took them ten paragraphs to get to B – L – A – C – K.

More of a consideration is that they are probably leftists.

They are the black equivalent of the Posse Comitatus.

Yes the are were very anti-government.

Except when they thought they could use it to their advantage.

The leftist media is the information warfare wing of the democrat party.

This is another way CWII is being fought. Information warfare coupled with lawfare are the weapons of choice of the democrat party army.

a saw a little tidbit and assumed they were white. They weren’t militia...they were a well armed gang of criminals.

Yes, a little research this morning confirms that they are Black Muslims, claiming to be of Moorish (Moroccan) descent.

They live in America but claim because they are "sovereign citizens" they do not, and do not have to, recognize American laws.

Interesting website, but they are obviously nuts and most probably dangerous.

But not nearly as dangerous as White Supremacists....

They looked Middle Eastern by my reckoning. And calling themselves “Moors” just clinches it.

A heavily armed gang of Muslims headed to Maine over the Fourth of July weekend? What could possibly go wrong with that?

“Running out of gas” on I-95 sounds like the Hand of God to me. We might never know about this pack of armed yahoos otherwise.

Thanks for posting, Mountain Climber.

I have been reading about these guys for three days.

I had NO idea they were Black.

They wear flags of other nations. Kill them as an invading force.

I know. That was just an opportunistic smear job.
