State police have arrested 11 “heavily armed” men from a group “that does not recognize our laws” who caused highway shutdowns and shelter-in place orders in Wakefield after they fled into the woods after an encounter with cops, authorities said.
State Police Col. Christopher Mason told reporters earlier in the morning that one of his troopers saw some vehicles in the breakdown lane at 1:30 a.m. Saturday, and pulled over to see what was going on. The trooper saw that the group of “eight to 10” people, dressed to the nines in “military-style” tactical gear and armed to the teeth with long guns and handguns, was refueling their two vehicles, he said.
The trooper asked the men for their drivers licenses and licenses to carry, which the men either didn’t have or didn’t provide, he said.
Police arrested two of the men without incident early in the morning, Mason said around 8:30 a.m. The following seven arrests came by 10:30 a.m., and then cops sweeping the area found and arrested two more in the group’s vehicles. Police said all suspects had been taken into custody, ending the bizarre incident.
He said in a press conference shortly before noon that the police used a combination of negotiation and “tactical maneuvers” to round up the militiamen, who were arrested without further incident.
He said cops — who described this as a “dangerous incident” — contained the men to the woods off of I-95. Negotiators were on site and were having what Mason characterized as “productive” discussions with the group. He didn’t elaborate on what they wanted.

“Mason said the staties are aware that the people are posting on social media under the name “Rise of the Moors.” The latest video shows a man decked out in military gear insisting that “we’re not anti-government, we’re not anti-police, we’re not sovereign citizens, we’re not Black identity extremists.” Locating himself in “the colony of Massachusetts,” he insisted in one of the videos that his nation — he pointed to a large Moroccan flag two of his compatriots were carrying — has a treaty with the United States.
The man in the video said that “the militia is exempt from certain restrictions.”
Extremist white-supremacist insurrectionists, no doubt.
Those pesky white supremacists again
We really need Moor information!
A lot of history here:

Sounds like an antecedent to the Nation of Islam.
They have lost their Moorings and have gone adrift…
PALEESE! no Moor puns :)
This story will die a quick death due to an inconvenient narrative.
Not anti-govt, just anti-American govt. Sharia law is govt, and that is what they have planned for us.
Eleven arrested.
Eight of them released after informing Police they are paid FBI informants.
In the late sixties and early seventies, there was a black separatist movement that called itself the United Moorish Republic, and it had two affiliated groups, the Blackman’s Volunteer Army of Liberation and the Blackman’s Development Center. This outfit was led by self-styled Colonel Hassan Jeru-Ahmed. When interviewed on the radio program Richard Cotten’s Conservative Viewpoint in 1970, Hassan described himself as a “Moor.”
Although this outfit seems to have disappeared in the early seventies, perhaps it is related to the one that’s in the news today.
Moore puns or less.
Finally rounding up all those pesky White supremists eh?
About time. /s/

Sounds like they want to be left alone, which of course leftists can’t tolerate as leftists want to control everything and everyone.
