Take a look at this:

Nine members of the Hutaree militia group accused of plotting against the government can be released until their trial.

The nine members of the Christian militia group were indicted in March on multiple charges involving an alleged plot to attack police, including seditious conspiracy and attempted use of weapons of mass destruction.

Judge Victoria A Roberts ruled in U.S District Court in Michigan's eastern district that the Hutaree members don't present a flight risk, and that the government failed to prove that they present enough of a danger to the community to be held until trial.


If it wasn't so typical, I'd probably be outraged. I'm not. This is par in America. Here we have nine people, members of a militant white Christian militia, indicted on charges including seditious conspiracy, attempted use of weapons of mass destruction, teaching the use of explosive materials, and possessing a firearm during a crime of violence." WMD!!! (hand smacking forhead)

Just imagine this was a group of Latino immigrants. Or possibly a black nationalist outfit. Or perhaps a group of Arab-American extremists from Dearborn. Can you even imagine these characters would see the light of day? They wouldn't be in jail. They'd be at Guantanamo awaiting torture...
