Blogger and sheriff connected to exposing of militia-nut/oathkeeper rapist now receiving threats

[ck4829]

Militia members are up in arms following the arrest of an ex-Marine in Oklahoma. A local blogger tracking the story said he and an Oklahoma sheriff are now the target of their threats.

Twenty-nine-year-old Sgt. Charles A. Dyer is an ex-Marine from Stephens County and is known best online as July4thPatriot.

Thousands view his videos and anti-government messages. Dyer is a member of the American Resistance Movement, but he's also an accused criminal who was arrested last week at his home in Marlow.

According to federal documents, Dyer is suspected of molesting a 7-year-old girl. When Stephens County deputies went to his home to collect evidence, they found a weapons cache including a grenade launcher stolen from a military base in California four years ago.

Oklahoma based HateTrackers.com has documented Dyer's history. This week the Web site told NEWS 9 "his arrest has elevated his folk hero status."

HateTrackers.com said they are now the target of numerous threats including one posted on their YouTube site. It reads: "You better delete your account. You have 21 hours. Tick Tock. Tick Tock."

The group said it's not alone. Dyer's fellow militia members have reportedly threatened the Stephens County Sheriff. When asked about it, Sheriff Wayne McKinney would only say this:

"A lot of people in these militia groups, some of them have a good message, and you find radicals you find anything you get into, and obviously we're hearing from a few of those right now," McKinney said.

1. The sheriff sounds like he's apologizing for the militias.

I wouldn't expect a lot of help from him.
