#Whitmer #Michigan #Kidnap
Glad they were convicted. We need to put our political differences aside
What? It’s not in style to be a vicious sicko? Well, no wonder so many people are discontented.
What do the FBI agent’s get for helping them care out this plot?
You do know that the convicted followed people that they didn’t know? Lock them up.
Can we quit calling them “militia” they are grown men playing army or gang members at best. The militia is now currently know as national guard. Stop giving pretty names to small weak petty “men”
Too lenient. They deserve longer sentences
Did any of the FBI member’s who were involved and helped orchestrate it get charged ?
A plot The government started,,,,, unbelievable
The ones acquitted sang the most lol
Terrorists
They’re waiting for Trump to be president again so he can pardon them! 🤣
😂😂😂
Wolverine Watchmen Groomers failed in their abduction plan and sentenced to years in prison. Groomers and Co-leaders Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr convicted on conspiracy kidnapping charges and facing life. These Mentally Unwell Groomers now convicted and in prison.
Justice moves slow but it seems to be on the right path.
Good!
The look like clowns 🤡
The court’s are always lenient with white criminals .
I live in the area of the state where these men are from. It’s deeply disturbing to see the number of signs on peoples front fences saying derogatory things about the Governor or the President. No political comment, no rationale, just mindless hate speech by adults. They seem to be very proud of their pronouncements. I’m not sure what their political basis is for this behavior. Racism? Homophobia? Ultra conservative religious beliefs.? The behavior is juvenile. I wonder if any of these men understand what treason is. There is a lot of poverty in the area and people living on the edge of a living income. The sociologists will tell you that usually the common denominator in this type of civil disobedience is poverty.
The leader of the Oaf Keepers is a Yale Law School graduate. It’s not about poverty, it’s about being in a narcissism fueled death cult.
*Ruined Your Entire Lives!. For What?, For Whom?. AFAF*
Everybody everyone men and women are being locked up except for the ring leader Trump
There’s no room for violence and abduction in politics. These men are domestic terrorists.
Slowly but surely
Listening to Trump who definitely won’t help them
More conservative republican terrorists and traitors facing American justice is a good day for America.
Wait wait?? Serious question: what did these first 3 guys do?? Aside from being acquainted with the figureheads and doing gun training??
Suddenly democrats care about law. Weird. What about the riots? How many were killed? How many federal courts were lit up? How many cops were killed?
yawn
It’s always funny to see white supremacists cry when they get themselves into trouble😆
wtf is they think at the first place -_-
TRUMP PARDON COMING TOMORROW !!
THESE COWARDLY TRAITORS cannot hide!
Bye Felicios!
Christian terrorists also wear beards apparently!
It takes a white privileged mindset to commit such a crime
Boys, they look like geniuses! The poorly shaved.
Aw man, I was hoping to hear them cry and beg the court for mercy…
The dotard would really like to thank these individuals for all their support to the cause, if only he knew they existed! Hold on tight to your soap, guys!
📌@1:03 The Hills Have Eyes.😂🤣
Something outta hunger games I swear hahah
All for don
This is the plot organised by the corrupt FBI. It’s one of the most disgusting cases of entrapment ever.
They should get life.
We need more militia in America today than ever. Are government is 100 % corrupt..CIA killed KENNEDY just the start of the corrupt government
You mean the kidnapping attempt instigated by the fbi?🤮
militia?
you mean the militia that had more fbi agents than non-fbi members? where the leaders of the militia are all fbi? where the plotters of the fake abduction were all exclusively fbi?
oh, thats just a conspiracy, not real, like Ray Epps right?
Not so tough now, huh? They sure don’t look so radical when facing the judge that’s about to lock them up for 7 years. They look like the little boys who got into trouble they shouldn’t have and now, their families can enjoy their stay in prison as well.
They’re about to be “new fish” in the river of shame.
They’ll be even more stupidly radicalized when released, but it won’t matter by then. No one will give a rat’s ash what they say.
I can’t wait until one is caught with a pistol when released…oh, Mercy.
Hope the stupidity was worth it. I’ll bet relatives don’t think so…
And these doofs are going to a State prison. Not a Federal one…hahaha. They may not make it out.
Stupid people are easily manipulated.
That’s why Republicans hate education.
Republicans are easily manipulated.
Following the trump’s ‘liberate Michigan’ tweet…the white national ideology is getting dudes prison time…I’m laughing at how stupid people are. See ya!
Frankly I’m surprised the feds never brought the electric chair to their houses.
Bye, Felicia. When stupidity and wannabe soldiers turn terrorist go wrong.
lock those fools up. throw away the key
Please drop the soap everyday in prison
Trump Supporters, no doubt.
Those poor dumbasses. Brains poisoned by Fox, they were easy meat for the FBI to set them up.
Just looking at these thugs and you can see “Criminal” written all over their faces. It screams “I am a terrorist and was born this way!”
Has the fbi informant that planned this out, been held accountable yet?
LOL stay salty 😂
Truth …was on the jury….
Now, we need the J6 elected officials on trial.
They need to be stripped of their citizenship, too.
Everyone of trumps treasonous traitors belongs in prison for life. Threat to society
Off topic: The cryptocoin bots that are still posting comments have unintentionally become comedy bots.
DESERVED!!! You traitors deserve all of the worst!!! The people and your petty god have spoken during the midterm elections.
That’s more than jan6 rioters have gotten. They should all get at least that much time.
👋😁
Good. Fascist traitors.
the “wolverine butt-wipes”? could have come up with a better name
If she is a traitor to Our Government, it would be a Citizen’s arrest.
A government of corruption, run by tyrants. Did you think they would ever let anyone challenge their power.
Got away with that one. Whewww got sent on a different mission
If you possess American citizenship, you are technically in a large militia, supposed to uphold the freedom expressed in the founding documents
No, you are technically a citizen….expected to abide by the rules of the society. Freedom comes with responsibility. Have you read all the documents associated with the “founding fathers”. Have you researched the histories of these men? They all had their own agenda, just like today. You don’t pick a part that suits you and treat it like a commandment. Some agree with you, but you don’t speak for everybody.
@Joe Mendyk “freedom comes with responsibility” meaning recognizing current governments treasonous behavior
WAGA =MAGA
Threaten democracy and get 5 to 10 years only…. All foreign adversaries now know, this is the best day go attack America now….. And we just made if sniff for them.
KATE SNOW ❄️ ♥️ 😍 ❤️ 💕 💓 ❄️
The sharpest spoons in the soup…
Now just clean up Detroit gangs please but o yea let’s not care about them Governor
3 less trumpies to vote. 3 castrated politically.
Hatriots. 😡
You have to be a certified lunatic think and try and carry out some sh** like this…send a message to the rest of them because they have a following.
The FBI broke it up!? They were right in the middle of it, but ok. Let’s lock everyone up for being stupid.
What malitia members when 4 out of 7 were proven to be FBI plants and FBI informants who orchestrated the entire thing. Who is RAY EPPS
Elon Musks pronouns are PROSECUTE FAUCI
https://youtu.be/yklD9LTY5S8
FBI orchestrated the entire thing
https://youtu.be/F_65lUe0h4o
FBI agent arrested in Gov Whitmer plot
All I can think off to say is bad, so I wont say anything.
They all deserve what they got.
Time to do something the FBI has failed to do for decades and that’s break up these militia hate groups. But instead the FBI has joined most of them.
Even though they got the years in prison mentioned. To just have a felony conviction when it come with guns and kidnapping as central charges is a life sentence in itself because they will be shunned by all levels of society.
Take all those Cry baby little Boys to JAIL
SORRYass
Let them cryin JAIL
The UnAmerican Taliban
MORE
Two out of the three are CROSS EYED? Boy oh boy I never could’ve guessed…
Those criminals got light sentences because they are white. If they were black they would have been executed not just imprisoned.
TRUMP didn’t know and most of didn’t care about them and wouldn’t be caught dead with not one of them however they all have the same emotional makeup and thought process of a spoiled rotten child … The COVID lockdowns have been over an its somewhat normal again millions of people celebrating the holidays shopping an enjoying FREEDOMS meanwhile those dummies ruin there lives for 1 term Donnie he’s free as a document stealing bird its over for them 5by8 DONT DROP THE SOAP BOYS !!
They’re lucky this didn’t happen 150 years ago. They would’ve been hung in public for all to see.
White Caucasian Domestic Terrorists are referred to as *”Militia Groups”,* but, when it’s another race of citizens here in these United States does something like this , they are expressively, referred to as *”Domestic Terrorist!”* 💯💯💯💯
Don’t cry now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another domestic terrorist group acting out on Trump’s call to “liberate Michigan.” And of course he tweeted it in his usual crazy all caps.
I remember post 9/11 people freaking out over foreign Muslim terrorists with unkempt beards. Twenty years later: domestic Christian white nationalist terrorists… with unkempt beards.
Republican intelligence AND bravery on Full Blown Display. If people like them fought in WWll, we would have lost the war.
They looked like such professional bad guys lol
They are what the American Taliban looks like. White conservatives.
