WTF - Homegrown Jihad

[Flesh Thorn]

From what I have read they are aware of it and are monitoring the situation.

South Carolina?????

WTF?

Pretty unreal that (if true) there could be 35+ known compounds throughout the US and continue to remain functional & viable.

I can see us turning a blind, politically correct eye on this, though.

I am afraid it is at least true on some of the "camps". I googled the one in Virginia and read some news stories, etc.

I always figured our next 9/11 would come from the inside. We focus so much energy, money and attention (not just militarily) outside our borders, it just makes it easier to do things internally!

BAH! Where's the local "militia" when you need it?

"The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are commissioned officer of the National Guard."
"The classes of the militia are--
1. the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
2. the unorganized militia, which consists of the member of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or Naval Militia."
-USC 1970 Title 10 (311 Militia: Composition and Classes)

Translation to number 2 = every body else in America

Last time the militia was called out by a State government was in the 20th century, during WWII.

There is a reason I am unorganized.
