OK - so the US Attorney's Office goes against the right wing militias - How about the other (very real every day crime) groups that threaten our society.

Or is it that we don't want to stigmatize certain groups?

This is the whole corrupt agenda by the elite...I don't condone militia's that plot on killing cops, but at the same time i don't believe the media is telling us the truth about those people...and this is proof that there is an agenda to make all groups that are against the presidents decisions and government's corruption to look bad so that the public looks at certain groups like Christians as being bad or dangerous, so if they cared about saving lives then why not attack the people who are actually taking them right in their own backyard of DC?

First of all, this is a blog.

Were the US Attorneys aware of this tragedy prior to its occurrence?
They were aware of the militia's design to murder a cop and bomb the funeral.
Are you saying that militias should be exempt from US law?

How was the US Attorney's office involved in these senseless murders?

How do you justify making this tragedy into something that promotes your political agenda? That part is sad and tragic.
Why don't you think it's wrong to politicize tragedy? Don't these people have families that you're minimizing?

That's the tragedy.

Those who break federal laws, get federal law enforcement knocking at their door. Until a federal crime is found, it is a local issue.

I guess those who lean to the right want everything to be federal, so they can have their police state.

I read about the shooting in the news, a blog is simply opinion; it does not necessarily have any basis in fact.

Do you get all of your news from blogs?
I'm interested in your perspective.

Them being so-called Christians had nothing to do with the charges and investigation from the Michigan Office of the US Attorney. (News/Talk 760 WJR).

The media is following claims by the group that they were Christians and doing the work of you-know-who. So they are reporting correctly. While other militias and Christian groups are distancing themselves from the group claiming that the group is neither, unless the outward Christian trappings of the group are found to be a cover, and the group core purpose is found to be more political than religious, they will keep the label of being a christian group.

Funny, in the first days of the story, a few people here on C-D, claimed that they were "nice wonderful christian people", who were wrongly being accused. Now it's "the government going out of its way to disgrace christians", but they (those accused) really are not, but we will still stand up for them. Just like you stand up for the rights others?

Most folks (outside of these areas) don't care about killings in DC, Detroit or other city, except when convenient to their own political or social statement.

I live in Northern Virginia just outside of D.C. Sounds like any other night in Southside DC.

Because the US Attorney is going after violent groups homicides in the District are down by 33% compared to the Bush Administration. Gun control is working.

BTW these suspects were captured by the local police.
