CHICAGO (Reuters) – Nine members of a Christian militia group accused of plotting to kill police and wage war on the U.S. government were ordered freed on bond on Monday by a judge who said prosecutors failed to show they posed a real threat.
In a blistering attack, U.S. District Court Judge Victoria Roberts in Detroit said prosecutors had failed to persuade her the defendants were a danger to the community.
So we seem to have two possibilities that I can see:
1) They are dangerous nutballs and the prosecutors dropped the ball big-time, allowing them to go free.
2) They are just 'run-of-the-mill' nutballs and the investigators exaggerated the threat they represent.
3 comments:
3) They're run of the mill nut-jobs, and the undercover agent (provocateur) got them to say/consider things that otherwise would have never entered their minds.
Thanks for the update, now will the accused feel bad that they have been determined not to be the threat they always hoped they would be, could be and should be? Wonder if this release will get the same coverage that their arrest did, nah, don't wonder, it won't.
Or how about 3?
They were just folks with the proverbial axe to grind and somebody had to be seen as 'doing something'?
Or to paraphrase an 'Uncle-ism': going after a no-name group nobody had heard of to throw a scare into everyone, instead of actually doing something about the real nutjob weirdos.
