How are they violent? The FBI CLAIMS that they threatened to kill someone--a Muslim or a cop, they haven't quite got their story straight yet. But how can they be described as "violent"? They haven't killed anyone, or beat up anyone, or broken any windows, or burned any cars, as far as I've heard. If they had, I'm sure the FBI and the media would be telling us all about it. I looked up their website as soon as they mentioned the word "Hutaree." Personally, I'd be a bit inclined to call them kooks. But violent? Nonsense. There's been a fair amount of political violence around the world recently. All of it came from the left, or from Muslims, as far as I've heard.
The way this is going to go down is that more than a few of these nine dumbasses are going to be threatened with life sentences in the presence of their lawyers. Even without resorting to enhanced interrogation, the FBI has a 1 in 9 chance of getting someone to remember patchy details of a random plot. No doubt with coaching from the FBI. The world won't miss these retards, and that's approximately how it will go down.
Thank you CICERO, calling them violent when there has not even been a charged violent act, is at best irresponsible, at worst intentionally incendiary. They are trying their best to ruin the reputations of the members of this group, and give them zero chance for fair public opinion, let alone a fair trial.
