going after the less dangerous targets.
same reason cops go after speeders, or people holding small poker games in their homes rather than drug dealers and gang bangers
Reportedly, Hutaree is accused of attempted use of weapons of mass destruction. Charges range from August 2008 to today.
The militia group Hutaree are said to have conspired to oppose by force the authority of the US Government.
The members viewed local, state and federal law enforcement as "the brotherhood," also known as their enemy, and have been preparing, the FBI says, to engage them in armed conflict.
According to one plan released by the FBI, the group was to kill a law enforcement officer, then during the funeral precession, hit again with IEDs to kill more LEOs.
Not just conspiracy, not just sedition, but SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY!!!
This sounds so ludicrous. They should have marked this release "for credulous eyes only."
