Current Events > Michigan militia who failed to kidnap governor also planned televised executions

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://abc7chicago.com/michigan-governor-gretchen-whitmer-kidnapping-plot-militia/8079861/

New filings claim there was a Plan B the militiamen had drawn up, that involved a takeover of the Michigan capitol building by 200 combatants who would stage a week-long series of televised executions of public officials.

And, according to government documents now on file in lower Michigan court, there was also a Plan C -- burning down the state house, leaving no survivors.

because the media would just... film and report on murders for them for a week without law enforcement intervening?

Did you read the article at all? Or even the two paragraphs I included in the post?

people wonder how factions like Al Qaeda, ISIS, etc. form, and never expect something similar to happen in developed countries, but in less than four years, here are some right wing terrorists in Trump's America

obviously they don't have the same reach/authority as the aforementioned groups, but imagine what they could have done without intelligence and law enforcement agencies stopping them

Yeah I only expect these movements to grow unfortunately. This country seems determined to become a wasteland.

yes, I did. and my question is: how would they have a week of reporting on public executions that the news would be televising for them without anyone stopping them?

Did you read the part about 200 armed people taking over the building? Televised executions doesnt mean the news is gonna go there and film it for them and report on it.

Film on their phones, and/or steam to platforms like Facebook.

They would have been stopped, and whatever platform they used to broadcast executions would have banned them during/after the first one, but they had the means to enact this plan. You don't need the media to broadcast someone's death, the power to capture and post that sort of content is in the average layperson's hands.

Okay, this seems like a fundamental lack of comprehension on your part.

They are literally terrorists.

It's amazing how a simple thing like skin color prevents people from labeling them as such.
