OT: Stupid Idiots plotting to overthrow the gov't get caught by FBI. [LOCKED]
There's no other way, really, to describe a bunch of stupid neckbeards gathering in a field to try and overthrow the Governor, then getting caught by the FBI trying to do it.
As smitten with the Mitten as we all are...these boys are dumb, and they should feel dumb.
[Locking this up. I just took a quick 3-minute scan thru 6 pages and it's obvious the thread had long-ago degenerated into mostly mud-slinging.]

When the FBI busts an antifa operation trying to overthrow a state, then sure, come back here and both sides this.
October 8th, 2020 at 1:57 PM ^
Lmao plz provide any evidence at all of any terrorist attack or plot by Antifa or anarachists. I'll wait...
October 8th, 2020 at 12:43 PM ^
Lmao, so they think they were going to kidnap Whitmer and then just live happily ever after ruling Michigan?
These the same knuckleheads that were crying some rivers at the state capitol building about wearing masks and staying home?
October 8th, 2020 at 12:50 PM ^
They probably thought Trump would back them up like he does with most white terrorists
October 8th, 2020 at 12:55 PM ^
The irony is that human nature in the political arena guarantees that their actions will substantially increase public support for Whitmer, thus virtually assuring her re-election.
October 8th, 2020 at 7:35 PM ^
I mean it makes sense though in a way, right?
If you're pissing off bad people that much, you must be doing something right.
If you're buddy buddy with the bad people, you must be doing something wrong. Trump literally refused to directly condemn white supremacy and instead told the Proud Boys to "stand by". Trump has pissed off all of the leaders of our allies while befriending dictators. He even admitted this to Bob Woodward!
“The tougher and mean they are, the better I get along with them,” Trump admits to Woodward in an interview. “Maybe it’s not a bad thing.”
Sorry, dumbass, it is a bad thing.
And just so I'm clear because I can hear the "BLM! ANTIFA!!!" rebuttal now...Biden has already very clearly denounced the riots violence of some protests. It's really not that hard. All Trump had to say was "Of course I denounce white supremacy!"
October 8th, 2020 at 12:44 PM ^
I guess a few right wing terrorists took Trump's "LIBERATE MICHIGAN" tweet literally
Also, the usual anti-Whitmer suspects are unusually quiet on the board rn...
October 8th, 2020 at 12:47 PM ^
Dangit, I double posted for you.
October 8th, 2020 at 12:58 PM ^
Great minds think alike
October 8th, 2020 at 12:46 PM ^
Seems like someone took "Liberate Michigan!" seriously. Who could have possibly predicted this?
October 8th, 2020 at 12:49 PM ^
On a side note to all this insanity, can anyone explain to me why Whitmer's face is always so shiny? Maybe they were trying to capture her to do a study on why she looks like she has been polished with a buffing compound.
October 8th, 2020 at 1:02 PM ^
Nice. Misogyny and trying to change the subject. I guess when there is nothing left to defend we can always take a shot at a woman for her appearance.
October 8th, 2020 at 1:12 PM ^
Also what a weird thing to insult.
"Haha her face is shiny! I bet she takes care of her skin! What a loser!"
October 8th, 2020 at 3:44 PM ^
Feel free to share a photo of yourself so that we can comment.
October 8th, 2020 at 5:01 PM ^
She's a good looking woman. Way better than you could get I'm sure.
October 8th, 2020 at 12:52 PM ^
I'm waiting for a poster on here to come out and say he/she knows one of these dipshits. This board is very far reaching and someone may have went to school with one of these folks or something. It would be interesting to know their opinions of these guys prior to this crime.
October 8th, 2020 at 2:01 PM ^
You must be thinking of “The Only Colors”.
October 8th, 2020 at 12:53 PM ^
When people’s lives fundamentally lack purpose, a crazy thing is they often make stuff up. The government wants to take us over so we need assault rifles and a mission statement. Westerners are blaspheming infidels and we must kill them. Etc etc.
October 8th, 2020 at 3:12 PM ^
I think that's a good point. The white nationalist militiaman has far more in common with the Islamic terrorist than he'd ever care to admit. Disillusioned men, looking for an enemy to punish, radicalized by the extreme right wing ends of their culture.
October 8th, 2020 at 1:01 PM ^
Should be labeled as a coup to overthrow the dictator of Michigan.
October 8th, 2020 at 1:03 PM ^
I see you are trying to get banned again.
October 8th, 2020 at 1:14 PM ^
Sorry, you couldn't buy your mulch and seeds at Mejier
October 8th, 2020 at 1:31 PM ^
Sounds like your brain got jobbed.
October 8th, 2020 at 1:08 PM ^
This is treason. Ironically, if officially deemed to be so, they could be charged under the Patriot Act.
October 8th, 2020 at 1:12 PM ^
They won't be. If it ever got that far, dear leader would be there waiting with a full and unconditional pardon for these "true patriots," acting out of love and duty for their country in defiance of the tyrant King Gretchen III.
October 8th, 2020 at 4:11 PM ^
They will sing as a boy band at the next republican convention
October 8th, 2020 at 3:16 PM ^
" This is treason. "
Not under US law.
It is basically impossible under US law to commit treason if you aren't at war. Even the Rosenbergs weren't charged with treason.
October 8th, 2020 at 4:36 PM ^
What about sedition?
October 8th, 2020 at 4:38 PM ^
"Levying war isn’t limited to formally declaring war. It includes any forcible opposition to the execution of a public law. Such “forcible opposition” ordinarily requires actual use of force by multiple people with the common purpose of preventing some law from being enforced. Weapons aren’t always required; sheer numbers can be enough.
Merely conspiring to overthrow the government isn’t levying war—there must be an actual assemblage of people who are ready and intend to use force. So, no person acting alone can be guilty of levying war."
Or maybe in a similar vein, seditious conspiracy...either way, it is not a good look...
October 8th, 2020 at 1:08 PM ^
Now come on people. I'm sure there were some very fine people on both sides.....

I agree with Qmatic. All neckbeards are morons!
October 8th, 2020 at 3:35 PM ^
Are seasonal neck beards ok? I love my neck beard in hunting/ice fishing season.
October 8th, 2020 at 5:46 PM ^
Damn. Pretty spot-on...
October 8th, 2020 at 1:17 PM ^
Literally sent a message to the group saying "OK, well how's everyone feel about kidnapping?"
*facepalm*
October 8th, 2020 at 1:22 PM ^
Great work on FBI, MSP and US Attorney's office for apprehending and charging these domestic terrorists...mentioning these extremists surveyed numerous state bridge underpasses to plant explosives to deter/distract LEOs while they executed this plot...throw the book at 'em!
October 8th, 2020 at 1:26 PM ^
I'm listening to the press conference right now and the list of charges against these dickheads is very lengthy. I doubt they get out of the clink anytime in this century.
I also hear they refer to themselves as "Wolverine Watchmen" - ugh for obvious reasons.
October 8th, 2020 at 1:43 PM ^
They're more like Walmart Wolverine Watchmen. AMIRITE!
/s
(not a fan of the /s, but can't be too careful these days)
October 8th, 2020 at 1:45 PM ^
I think the "AMIRITE" serves as the /s. But yeah, people are touchy these days.
October 8th, 2020 at 4:59 PM ^
Heard sparty was looking for a new misinformation director. Maybe you should apply.
October 8th, 2020 at 1:42 PM ^
Terrorists
October 8th, 2020 at 1:49 PM ^
They aren’t dumb. They are who they say they are! They were raised that way!!!
October 8th, 2020 at 1:50 PM ^
Playing G.I. Joe is fun until the FBI comes knocking. Rot in prison, you domestic terrorist assholes.

"Just remember. We're action figurers, not dolls."

Man, CHS-2 has some big ol' crystal balls. Hope he (assuming) is careful. Can't be that hard for the rest of the group to figure out the identity based on all the meetings.
October 8th, 2020 at 2:07 PM ^
Really really bad. Thank God the FBI, state, and local law enforcement was on the job.
October 8th, 2020 at 2:30 PM ^
Thank God someone turned them in! Something like this happening is the last thing we need right now.
Monocle Smile
October 8th, 2020 at 3:46 PM ^
Almost all of that is wrong.
There are no "members" of antifa and the dude in the article absolutely does not say "member." He says "activist."
Furthermore, you said antifa burned down the courthouse, not that a specific activist describing themselves as antifa thought the burning was necessary.

1. Antifa is a movement, aimed at preventing the spread of fascism. It's roots go back to the interregnum in Europe.
2. Please provide any proof for your claim that antifa is attempting to overthrow a state government. I'm sure you'll have lots of it.
3. The group that prompted this thread was first noticed because they were attempting to get the addresses of police in order to kill them. White nationalists carry out the large majority of all terrorist activities in this country.
