I was a little concerned about the Hutaree at first but as I got to know the guy near me I found him to be an outgoing, intelligent, solid Christian. Obviously there is a lot of concern about overtaxation, regulation and government overreach but there is no violence there.
While they do paramilitary style training its not for fighting against government. Its more about being effective if called by state, local or federal government to serve or assist.
They beat the feds by being exactly the opposite of what the feds hoped they would be. The feds came in hard and expecting a shootout. Instead my neighbor saw them coming and when they kicked his door open, they found him face down with his arms out to his sides.
Very interesting. I remember when they were in the news but can’t remember what happened to the case against them. How did that turn out? And how the heck did they come up with the name Hutaree...did he ever give you the history on that?
