These tiny operations are part of a bigger picture with Boogaloo or Civil War as the goal.

AND at any rate - the dumb F***s tried to kidnap and kill a Governor.

That they get consequences for their actions is news because it is a deterrent for others who might think they can get away with it.

It isn't to sensationalize their wrongdoing, but to show that breaking the law has consequences.
