I don't know if you're mocking this or what, but maybe you missed this part...
The statement said the items found in the searches included:These 'wannabes' intended on causing serious - deadly - bodily harm.
- Wrist rockets (high-powered slingshots)
- Sledge hammers
- A machete, hatchet and several throwing knives
- Flammable liquids, Empty glass bottles & Rags
And Wrist Rockets aren't 'Dennis The Menace Sling-shots'. They're for Hunting and will kill. The ammo for them is 1/4" to 1/2 dia ball bearings. Plus I doubt they were going to roast marshmallows with the Molotov Cocktails they planned on making.
As such these maggots should be treated as if they were an AQ Terrorist Cell. I'd ship em all of to GITMO for a Military Tribunal.
Also, a lot of the reports documenting the raids neglect to mention another weapon found at one of the houses (I saw a photo taken of one of the rooms which contained an arsenal or their stockpiled weapons): A compound bow with a full set of arrows.
They were going there fully planning on trying to kill people.
With any luck, the judge will throw the book at these psychos, so the only “Actions” they will be participating in for the next few years will be pumping out Minnesota license plates in a state penitentiary.
