More information on raids in Michigan, Ohio, Etc.
One of the raids by FBI, BATF, and HS took place in a trailer park and campground in Sandusky Ohio.

Map of the place here:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=2311%20CLEVELAND,%20SANDUSKY,%20OH&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl

I doubt very much that this trailer park and campground is home to tons of Muslims, based on it's location and the surrounding businesses. It would, however, be a good place to gather together militia and other assorted types in a central location for whatever reason.

I'll continue investigating...

http://www.myspace.com/ohiomilitia

I'm certain, now that these raids are militia-related.

28. I know these bozos create serious problems, but there was something on that page that made me LOL
" OHIO MILITIA's Details
Status: Married
Zodiac Sign: Scorpio
Children: Proud parent"

Scorpio? Is one's sign important to para-military wannabees? That just cracked me up.

The fantasy photo-shop with the White House must have caught somebody's eye. Glad the proper agencies are paying attention to these head cases.

6. Sandusky Register Article
http://www.sanduskyregister.com/articles/2010/03/28/front/doc4bae9ec40d713435821346.txt

A battalion of local officers and federal agents flooded the Bayshore Estates neighborhood Saturday afternoon.

A second raid was conducted in Huron. An FBI agent at the scene of the Bayshore Estates raid said a second, related raid was taking place at “another location.” Huron police confirmed late Saturday a raid had taken place in that city, but would say nothing more.

Likewise, FBI agents at the scene and at the Cleveland field office are staying mum on the cause of the commotion.

8. From freeperland,scary stuff:
To: johniegrad
from this site;
http://www.militiaradio.com/updated-sitrep/

<04:13> I just left a shouting match about 20 minutes ago with a little over a hundred militiamen who are on the move right now. The arguement was over not if but rather where to hit them. Trying to calm them down was useless and they are not going to let this lie. They will identify the straglers or pickets first and wipe them out. By what the radiio crew said the recon teams have all of the hiddy holes
<04:14> …IDed for those they moved in and the group is infiltrating to site as we speak. I hope the locals are smart enough to step out of the way.
<04:16> this is interesting for we may have live vids from the epicanter as it developes.
<04:16> …epicenter…

These people can't get out of bed to mow their own lawn on a Sunday morning, let alone "move" anywhere.

35. These are the kids that sat in the back of the class and didn't understand what
was going on when everyone else in first grade learned to read.

They are easily frustrated. And when they become angry, they take action. They are not very verbal. That is why they become violent in relationships. That is why they want weapons and reach for them when they feel very insecure or angry.

These are people who may have dealt with law enforcement in other situations -- such as in calls for spousal abuse or bar fights.

40. Yep. That's the profile of some of the border militias, any way.
Spousal abuse, drugs, brawls, DUIs, stolen guns, cars. A real problem with functioning in society.

32. Idjits still don't realize they have informers in their midst.
What a bunch of rubes.

The Feds already know everything they need to know about them; who they are, where they live, where they train, where they hide.

They can run, but that's about it.

But they likely have a bunch of evidence of an immediate threat. I mean these militia nuts are crazy and about as stoked up as possible.

Lots of fully automatic weapons and bomb making ingredients would be my guess.

19. It's definitely viral now. My blog stats have started taking off in views.
Now I'm worried if this will trigger violent confrontations across the country. Let's hope this stuff can get under control.

24. More info: FBI targeted Christian Militia group
The FBI conducted raids Saturday night in the Washtenaw and Lenawee county area in an investigation tied to Hutaree, a Christian-oriented militia group based in Lenawee County, AnnArbor.com has learned.

The nature of those raids has not been made public. FBI Special Agent Jason Pack, who is based in Washington, D.C., said he did not know how many people were taken into custody. Gina Balaya, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office, could not be reached today.


Michigan militia members assist in the recent search for a missing Bridgewater Township man.
"I can confirm that there is ongoing law enforcement activity in the Ann Arbor general area," Pack said in a written statement. "Since the federal warrants are under court ordered seal, legally we cannot provide further comment at this time."

Michigan militia members say five people were arrested - including one known member of Hutaree. They said the raid occurred at a meeting of Hutaree members in the Ann Arbor area.

Hutaree members couldn't be reached for comment today. As AnnArbor.com reported last week, several Hutaree members were recently involved in searches in Bridgewater Township after two residents went missing in separate incidents.

The FBI set up a command post at the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Department la

not a militia type.

Bunch of idiots is spot on, though. Paranoid, frightened, clueless dangerous idiots.

33. Check out this blog. These people are nuts.
http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/


The Doctrine of the Three Percent.

The Three Percent are the folks the Founders counted on to save the Republic when everyone else abandoned it.

And we will.

There will be no more free Wacos and no more free Katrinas.

For we are the Three Percent.

We will not disarm.

You cannot convince us.

You cannot intimidate us.

You can try to kill us, if you think you can.

But remember, we’ll shoot back .

We are not going away.

We are not backing up another inch.

And there are THREE MILLION OF US.

Your move, Mr. Wannabe Tyrant.

Your move.
And, as things begin to spin out of control, remember this:
"All politics in this country now is just dress rehearsal for civil war." -- Billy Beck, August 2009.

41. The comments at this site are truly unbelievable.
One person who posted actually believes that the tragic bombing in Oklahoma City was the work of the government to discredit the militias that he claims are protecting the citizens. These pathetic nincompoops are truly hopeless. That these freaks actually own guns is not amusing.
