Massive Federal Raid in Lenawee County

ADRIAN, Mich. (WXYZ) - The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the Joint Terrorism Task Force are all involved in raids around Adrian that may be connected to a religious militia group.

The FBI conducted multiple raids throughout Saturday and into Sunday, with one of them centered on a property where known members of a militia live. The land is owned by a man who lives in a house on the property. His sons live in two mobile homes that are also on the property. Saturday's raids were concentrated on those mobile homes.

Helicopters were spotted in the sky for much of the night, and agents set up checkpoints throughout the area, including in Sand Creek and Clayton in Lenawee County. Witnesses tell Action News that it was like a small army had descended on the area.

A command center, including two satellite trucks and a radio tower, had been set up at the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Department in Ann Arbor. It has since been dismantled.

Sunday, authorities also blocked off roads in Dover Township, while they gathered evidence from a home.

Michael Lackomar is a member of the Michigan militia, which was not part of the raids.

Lackomar told Action News the group that is being targeted is an extremist religious militia.

I’d probably be impressed if this raid had been on Islamofascist terrorists or some illegal alien gangs. However, it appears that this was just a bunch of loudmouthed kooks.

I think this is the 6th thread about this.

Tomorrow I am guessing the MSM will be totally hysterical and will be jumping all over this.

Must protect the muslims the leftist talking heads will start ranting about.

It becomes more clear (somewhat) with the 'read'. . .

The story posted from Drudge:

Lackomar said he heard from other militia members that the FBI targeted the Hutaree after its members made threats of violence against Islamic organizations. [. . .] One of the Hutaree members called a Michigan militia leader for assistance Saturday after federal agents had already began their raid, Lackomar said, but the militia member -- who is of Islamic decent and had heard about the threats -- declined to offer help. That Michigan militia leader is now working with federal officials to provide information on the Hutaree member for the investigation, Lackomar said Sunday.

1. Obama is looking for nutty cult groups for straw men.

2. Jesus doesn’t need any help. When He appears He will slay all that oppose Him instantly.

3 Obama is a small taste of what Anti-Christ be be like.(Lies, Deception, Messiah Status, Thuggery, Persecuting believers and Israel)

So the FBI attacks a Christian militant group at the behest, it looks like, of an Islamic militant group.

Illegal alien gangs and the drug cartels are who the FBI should be concentrating on.

Not a very intelligent “Christian” sect militia if they would have anything to do with a muslim much less trust him in this particular case. Assuming this information being disseminated is even accurate in any way....I’d take it with a grain of salt, personally. I’m always amazed at how left leaning Democratic administrations go after “Christian right-wingers” (even if they’re a little whacky) but never seem to go after anarchists, communists, islamists, etc. organizations who are more likely to do a greater deal of damage and yet remain......at large.

oh yeah that is as clear as Mud.
so far it sounds as though a Militia guy was of 'Islamic decent' (religion is now a race) over heard some kind of threat against Islamic organizations.

The Lenawee County Sheriff’s Dept. got to use their APC [M113] for the first time this weekend. There were 3 helo’s using their spotlights to cause havoc in the area over night.

Keep your powder dry. If this is a start rather than an isolated demonstration, a tremendous lot of us are going to face this over the next couple of years.

I remember in 93 and 94 before the congressional elections that realxed the national mood considerably the gun mags were full of ads by people selling storage kits, large capped sections of PVC suitable for storing a long gun or two in out of the way locations. Perhaps some PVC and end caps is a good investment now.
