Police arrest 11 after standoff with ‘heavily armed men’ who do ‘not recognize our laws’ in Wakefield
boston herald ^ | 7/3/2021 | SEAN PHILIP COTTER

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.

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


Sounds like they plan to “start something”, and it just isn’t the appointed time, yet. Not the same as patriot groups who want the Constitution upheld, and have allegiance to our country; this group has allegiance to another country altogether.

Just watch! Only 5 will be indicted because the other six are all FBI assets.

Thank you for the post, bit.

The question nobody has asked yet is, “where were they heading?”

As I recall there were Sovereign Citizens of the Moorish persuasion occupying upscale homes in the Seattle area and claiming “ownership”.

Parasites.

I’d expect not to agree much with a group called Rise of the Moors, however, what have been shown is just some second amendment/open carry activity. Nothing illegal (well, maybe in MASS, i dunno the laws there) or alarming. Second amendment applies to all citizens.

This seems o be a home grown Moslem radical group but the guys in the background of the Black Moslem in the picture appear to be Middle Easterners.

Sounds like it’s time to consult the historical records of our neighbors to the south- of how and why to this day they hold dear the famous name - Matamoros. Most famous is just across the border from Brownsville, but is so named in other areas. Dates back to the Middle Ages when Spain’s patron saint- St. James was called upon by the king for help in the destruction of 60,000 Moors. To this day they hold the name “ Matamoros “
Very dear to their hearts. We should not ignore history.

The moors of yore were mostly Berbers.

Running from the po-po makes for poor optics.

Well Son of a Bitch. Another blackfaced White Supremacist militia group. Faux-President Joe Biden warned us about them. Looks like he was right.

North or South? South to NYC or DC? Seems foolish to run out of gas.
