Pig-wrestling, the sport of kings...never pass up an opportunity.
Lol. Awesome.I got in an argument over Facebook with a freeman-on-the-land/sovereign citizen who said that an article of the Magna Carta that had been repealed in 1225 said that he didn't have to wear a mask in stores.
In Donald Trump’s presidency, the Antifa movement achieved a mythical status, portrayed by the former president and his supporters as terrorists. One Antifa activist’s journey, from college honors student to on-the-ground combatant, offers rare insight into this far-left movement and its motivations ...
I think we might have one in custody here. He's a real piece of work.Freemen/Sov Cits are a most dangerous and unpredictable brand of domestic terrorist.
I take it that his stay at the crowbar hotel hasn’t disabused him of being suckered into that ideology?I think we might have one in custody here. He's a real piece of work.
Nor will it. It will likely give him some sense of credibility for his tirade against "The Man."I take it that his stay at the crowbar hotel hasn’t disabused him of being suckered into that ideology?

There is a simple solution to these folks and their ilk, unfortunately we abandoned it decades ago.
Text of full speech (from CNN) also attached."On the 20th anniversary of the deadliest attack on U.S. soil, George W. Bush, who was president at the time, warned of a new danger coming from within the country.
“We have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come, not only across borders, but from violence that gathers within,” Bush said on Saturday at the 9/11 memorial site in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, during a ceremony to mark the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
“There is little cultural overlaps between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home ... they are children of the same foul spirit, and it is our continuing duty to confront them.”
(...)
Bush, recalling the unity of the American people after the (9/11) attacks, appealed for a return to that spirit amid growing political division in the country.
“When it comes to unity of America, those days seem distant from our own,” the Republican former president said. “Malign force seems at work in our common life ... so much of our politics has become a naked appeal to anger, fear and resentment.” ...
Emily Claire Hari, 50, f/k/a Michael Hari, was sentenced to 53 years in prison for the August 5, 2017, bombing of the Dar al-Farooq (DAF) Islamic Center in Bloomington, Minnesota.
On December 9, 2020, following a five-week trial, Hari was convicted by a federal jury on all five counts of the indictment, including intentionally defacing, damaging, and destroying religious property because of the religious character of that property; intentionally obstructing, and attempting to obstruct, by force and the threat of force, the free exercise of religious beliefs; conspiracy to commit federal felonies by means of fire and explosives; carrying and using a destructive device during and in relation to crimes of violence; and possession of an unregistered destructive device.
In handing down the sentence, United States District Judge Donovan W. Frank described the attack orchestrated by Hari as a highly sophisticated and premeditated act of domestic terrorism ...
The latest on this ...And the jury decides ....
"Dylann Roof sentenced to death for church slayings"
* - link to Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals August decision (PDF)A federal appellate court has refused to have its full panel of judges hear the appeal of his death sentence for the murder of nine people at a Charleston, S.C., in 2015.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied the en banc review in a one-page order Friday.
(...)
Roof petitioned the court earlier this month after a three-judge panel voted unanimously in August* to affirm the sentence for the 2017 conviction on federal hate crime charges. The court said he killed the Black congregants with the "express intent of terrorizing, not just his immediate victims at the historically important Mother Emanuel Church, but as many similar people as would hear of the mass murder."
He sought to have the full court of 15 judges rehear the case in what's known as an en banc session. Roof's lawyers said their client's death sentence violated Supreme Court precedent because prosecutors emphasized the goodness of the nine victims ...
Good. Tall trees and short ropes do have their uses.
And a short prayer.Good. Tall trees and short ropes do have their uses.
Good catch - this from the Associated Press ....Patrik Mathews just got sentenced to nine years prison in the US, plus three years supervised release.
Hope he enjoys prison.
Nothing at the FBI or U.S. DOJ sites yet.A neo-Nazi group member was sentenced on Thursday to nine years in prison in a case that highlighted a broader federal crackdown on far-right extremists.
FBI agents arrested former Canadian Armed Forces reservist Patrik Jordan Mathews and two other members of a group called The Base four days before a pro-gun rally in Virginia in January 2020. Surveillance equipment installed in their Delaware apartment captured Mathews and fellow Base member Brian Mark Lemley Jr. discussing an attack at the rally at Virginia’s Capitol in Richmond.
The judge who sentenced Mathews to prison concluded that he and Lemley intended to engage in terrorist activity. U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang’s decision to apply a “terrorism enhancement” to their sentences significantly increased their recommended prison terms under federal guidelines.
Chuang said recorded conversations between Mathews and Lemley captured the “virulence” and “passion” in their willingness to kill people and bring down the U.S. government ...
