I guess they were making plans while 'standing by'.

Those folks who tried to kidnap Whitmer could be Trump M.A.G.A. supporters or Qanon [[American Isis) people!
It's annoying that so many are identifying them as "militia" members and not a terrorist organization.
This is Trump-encouraged terrorism. Sad day for Michigan.
Not a bad day for Big Gretch though, she gets the limelight for a while - You know how much she loves that. She’s like a moth, when the TV cameras come on she’ll be there if possible.Quote:

Its like everything else the ones at fault are the perpetrators,they do not really need to be emboldened by anybody,but it sure sounds good.
I like how she says it is Trumps fault because he picks on her,like she does not return the favor,there is enough mudslinging on both sides.
December 27 and 31, 1969, the Weathermen dissolved their version of SDS, changed their name to the Weather Underground and declared that they would engage in guerilla warfare against the United States government.

There is and will always be radicals on the left and on the right,people playing into the narrative surrounding it all,are really the ones encouraging it.
How much did they expect to ransom Gretchen for?
Mentioning the Weather Underground is timely because Susan Rosenberg was released by Bill Clinton after serving 16 years for her role in a plan to bomb the U.S. Capitol. Somehow she is now on the board of Thousand Currents which handles BLM donations and presumably protects BLM from lawsuits for the 7% of peaceful protests that turn violent. Maybe these would be Wolverine Militia kidnappers will have a bright future on boards handling millions of dollars too. My guess is that they weren't smart enough to even carry out a kidnapping.
90% of arrested protestors in Portland have had their charges dropped against them. Now we will never know if they were left wing rioters or bugaloo types like the Wolverine Militia trying to start a civil war. My guess is that they were left wing because the SCLC which keeps tabs on violent groups said that Bugaloos wear Hawaiian shirts. If the FBI finds Hawaiian shirts in militia members' closets, it's a closed case.

Antifa banners in the background? That doesn't fit the narrative.
What are you even talking about? He's got the "Anarchy" symbol in the background.Quote:

I hope that Trumpism gets crushed so hard on the night of November 3rd so that all these people can hush and recognize that they're just an embarrassing part of America that clings onto some power through gerrymandering, court-blocking, and court-stacking.
Sniff Sniff!!! What do I smell? I smell a Second American Civil War coming no thanks to those terrorists.
Do you all think that Trump supported Michigan terrorists are the only ones planning this plot. There could be other secret sleeper cells somewhere in the deep wooded areas in Michigan. Those terrorists will not snitch in Federal Court about other secret terrorists groups. So The FBI and U.S. Justice Dept. will had to be on their guard to hunt them down before any leader who opposes their supremist Neo Nazi American dream will be caught or killed.
I will be moving to Canada if this Civil War happens.
Canada is not immune to radicals,lots of actual death threats against their president and other public officials,it’s pretty much the same across the world.
This one stands out because it is or was a plot to kidnapping and holding a trial verses just death,for every one that makes the news the FBI probably breaks up 10 that never do.
People have been referring to another civil war sense the last one,yet here we are.
These guys were openly recruiting at events and online,they do not seem to be the brightest as far as radicals go.
If one looks at the last 40 years and radicalized events,outside of 9-11 it has been 1 or 2 individuals that have wreaked devastation and not some well funded and equipped army that has been hiding out in the woods.
According to Snopes, she used to be but no longer is on the board. Weather Underground definitely was a basket of deplorables.Quote:

When are we going to start taking these things seriously? These 'lone wolves' aren't 'isolated' events - as the right likes to say.
If a black man murders someone, his actions are generalized to all black men. When Timothy McVeigh blew up the Oklahoma City Federal Building why don't we generalize all white men as domestic terrorists? Not all white men are domestic terrorists, but almost all domestic terrorists are white men.

This is a nationwide movement of white supremacists who want to overthrow government and incite a race war. And stunningly, they are continually encouraged by our leaders.

Are we going to do anything? Why do dismiss these statements and directives as one-off's. There is a dark underbelly of violence and hatred coursing through this country run amongst angry white men who are heavily armed and bloody organized - and no one seems to be doing anything about it. This is FUBAR
Lansing – A 24-year-old suspected of breaking into vehicles outside Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s state residence was arraigned over the weekend on a felony larceny charge.
Dequinderick Jones of Lansing is suspected of stealing a Bluetooth speaker from a car that belonged to Sherry Whitmer, one of the governor’s daughters, according to 54-A District Court records reviewed by The Detroit News.

Considering the wakos in both sides it does not appear that she lives in a very secure environment.
Some cities even city council staff are getting 24/7 armed security attachments.
It is kinda hard to believe a governor from any state can just randomly go anywhere without a security detail.
Of course they're all inbred looking white dudes.
I'm sure Fox News will find a way to call them fine gentlemen though. But the LEFT! the LEFT are dictators! COMMUNISTS!
White,Asian,Black or whatever radicals have been around for a long time,you just cannot go around arresting people just because you do not agree with them.Quote:

Everybody is protected by law in this country,the same laws that protect you.
Everything that is happening now did not start in 2016,it has been going on for centuries and is happening in every corner in the globe.
To say it is enabled by a single person in charge,history proves it does not need to be,now if one is actually using it to push a narrative,which acting like it was just discovered would translate into.
The only change that has happened is with the media and the speed news travels.
Hey,was there not a president that was shot while at the theater,I wonder if the shooter was emboldened by Trump.
The black militants of the 60s and 70s would probably be upset at being referred to as angry white men.
Radicalism holds no skin color or political party,heck there is even a collage in California that is well known for being the hotbed for promoting radicalism and has produced some of the best radicals in the country for the last 60 years.
Admin needs to do a thread cleanup.
Again.
Your post proves my point. Waiving your hand and poo pooing this issue as no big deal is ignorant at best and dangerous at worst. White supremacy tied to domestic terrorism has a long and storied history in the US and it just so happens that most of our politicians share the same skin color to the aggressor - so this history is downplayed and cast off - just like you did. If we want to correct the problem- we have to call it what it is. White domestic terrorism.Quote:

As we all know everybody in their own mind has a view on what would make the world a better place.
The question is what clicks in ones mind that takes them to that place.
You can disagree with it all you want but until you can solve the mystery that nobody has been able to,you are not really in the position to say others are poo pooing the issue just because you are not seeing the results that you desire.
That is what the radicals are also doing,acting out on issues that in their mind because they are not seeing the results that they desire.
You have to answer the question of what happens in ones mind that takes them to the next level.Until we can it stays the same.
This group went to local rallies and tried to recruit but nobody took them up on their cause,Michigan has its fair share of groups,but none that wanted to go that far.
So they turned to the Internet and across state lines in order to find like minded individuals,if all the far right groups were that interested in mayhem,they would have never had to go out of state lines.
The internet provides the platform to draw from across the world verses local as in the past.
Or the maker of horrid coffee at the bean level, upward to the luke warm water splashed over it. LOL!
