Two men who co-founded a militia group have been convicted of attempting to murder federal agents ahead of a planned trip to the Texas-Mexico border to shoot at immigrants illegally crossing there and any federal agents who might try to stop them.

A jury at the U.S. District Court in the Missouri state capital of Jefferson City found Jonathan S. O’Dell, 34, of Warshaw, Missouri, and Bryan C. Perry, 39, of Clarksville, Tennessee, guilty of more than 30 felony counts each, the chief federal prosecutor for western Missouri, Teresa Moore, announced Friday. The convictions Thursday came after jurors deliberated for more than two hours.

O’Dell’s attorney, Jonathan Truesdale, declined comment, but Perry’s attorney, Thomas Kirsch, said his client plans to appeal the verdict. Kirsch said Perry is disappointed in the verdict but said he is grateful for jurors’ dedication and the opportunity to exercise “his fundamental right” of trial by jury.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Doesn't make any sense.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Is this another FBI production, a la "hey, kids, let's kidnap Gov. Whitmer!"??

Very weird coincidence is they were good friends with Ray Epps. FEDS! FEDS! FEDS! FEDS! FEDS! FEDS! FEDS! FEDS!

I know the FBI wanted this to come out just before the election so they could link it to Trump somehow as a campaign talking point. The FBI botched this mission by letting it go on too long. Especially since they could not motivate the patsies to put down the beer and get off the couch until too close to the election. No doubt this was not the plan.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
