The government ALWAYS starts off by going after the lunatic fringe. A nutcase like this guy probably belongs in a psycho ward. However, the charges are still seemingly without merit. Its an anti2nd amendment attack wherein the first targets are such that most people won’t give a second thought to.
But just you wait. Soon they’ll come for all your rights, perhaps calling you an “enemy belligerent”, with the intent to make pipe-bombs, and possessing Weapons of Mass Distraction such as legal guns and ammo.
The raids were done without a crime being committed. They raided a wake/funeral. And the term used was not “arrest”, but “detention”. The police state won’t stop at the edge of this lunatic fringe. They’ll use warrantless raids, open-ended detention and accusations of possession of WMDs on you too.
From the page: “Sickles follows this up with lines like, “Look at the Pyramids, son. They’re massive… just like your mother’s ass!”
Hutaree? Christian Warrior? Hooker for a three year old? Choke your wife? VC prostitute?
These don’t match. It could be that the dissonance is within the person of Kris Sickles and that he considers himself to be both a Christian Warrior to bring God’s Kingdom to Earth by killing cops for Christ and a guy who likes to put a preschooler on film and talk about getting him a hooker. There are a lot of people who live like that, and Sickles does display a preoccupation with Christianity elsewhere.
It could also be that Kris Sickles is, as his wife insists, no Christian Warrior. It could be that the feds have got the wrong guy. It’s happened before, many times.
It’ll be interesting to follow the trial, follow the evidence, and see whether Kris Sickles is really guilty of planning a cop killing spree… or just guilty of really bad taste. “
