    Got this idea from another thread- this is magic sovcit shit where you can’t be tracked because being named “Null” throws off the government databases

    Other way around, all entries with null values now default to you. You become the dumping ground for everything

    Which also has it's benefits. The first guy in California to pull the NO TAGS license plate stunt admitted he had legit parking tickets, but nobody could sort them out of the thousands of incorrect ones so they were all thrown out when he eventually won.

    Michigan actually seems to mostly abide by the rules for avoiding this (unlike California, the only state bound by court order to do so), so usually this kind of stunt doesn't get you either outcome. Clearly hasn't helped this character any.

    I fully expect full gold fringed flag level of behavior when this lot ends up in court.

    I'm half surprised I didnt know any of these fucks, but could name a dozen people I grew up around who if they were in the lineup I'd say 'well, yeah'.

    This is basically the whole why do you dipshits think you are some master race comic in real life.

    Thank God they caught these shits. I doubt they would succeed but they would have hurt people.

    Honestly, that they caught them.

    I guarantee you there are fifteen groups of drunk dipshits around dinner tables at various stages of planning similar plans around the state.

    Granted these guys were quite a ways along in them, but it's not like this is a unique thought among white rednecks in Michigan.

    Indeed. To quote Ivan Drago, Whitmer is like a piece of iron, she won't break.

    After that kind of determined/intense speechifying I'd run through a brick wall if she asked me to, and I've only been to Michigan once in my life.

    So as info trickles out (the guys' social media accounts were all archived before they were taken down and are being combed over), let's all be shocked and surprised:

    Nearly all were Boogaloo boys
    Most were MAGA wearing Trumpers
    Two were NOT Trumpers... Because they see through the facade and realize Trump isn't going to do anything for white supremacy because he can't do anything at all.

    I enjoyed how in the indictment one of their reasons for wanting kidnap a sitting Governor, transport her to Wisconsin (somehow), and put her on trial for treason is because they were upset that she closed the gyms.

    It was also great to see just how many CIs the FBI had in place. There were multiple references to meetings having been recorded from 2 or more CIs at the same time. And the CIs were compartmentalized, so none were aware of the existence of other CIs. The militia's OPSEC can confidently be labeled "swiss cheese".

    Also also, looking at the mug shots of the people involved I can literally hear every single one of them say "I would have joined the military, but...". Those are the faces of idiot MILSIM cosplayers that think because they bought Tactical khakis for $180 a pop it somehow makes them a Navy Seal...

    Pretty easy for authorities to infiltrate white supremacists orgs. Only surprise is that they actually told the US Attorneys.

    They had both UCE (Undercover Employees - FBI Agents) and CHS (Confidential Human Resources - what I was calling CIs, basically snitches) So the vice in which this group caught their collective nuts was closing in from all sides.

    And, fortunately, since she's in her first term that will keep her in a big chair up to 2026. Which is a great time to launch a 2028 bid, and also not have to compete with your day job on the campaign trail.

    Oh yeah. Holding a not-so-thinly-veiled white supremacist gathering at Rosa Parks Circle was in no way a coincidence, I'm sure.

    May, huh?

    Fun facts; at that point, according to worldometers, Michigan had seen over 56,000 cases, had almost 23,000 active cases, and 5,127 deaths attributed to Covid. Current numbers are almost 147,000 cases, 40,000 active cases, and 7,193 deaths.

    I think it should really be noted that most of those numbers came early, as Detroit was one of the first bad hotspots.

    Whitmer locking down the state pretty much immediately when the first cases were confirmed worked and from May / June on we were doing as well as or better than pretty much any other state.

    And while we're still doing ok, we would be doing much better if she wasn't kneecapped by all the dumb motherfuckers from the White House down who think wearing masks and not dying of COVID needs to be a political issue.

    I'd bet fifty bucks these guys are driving around in full sized pickups with $5-10k in wheels / tires / exhausts on each of them, spend at least $2k / year on guns and ammo, and most of them have at least one ATV with a $10k+ MSRP.

    I may not know these chuds personally, but I know plenty of jackasses who are cut from the same mold and acting like their concerns are 'economic anxiety' is horseshit. They are dumb lazy fuckers who want everything handed to them on a platter and in general mostly have, but are upset they aren't getting even more.

    Wouldn't surprise me to see plenty of old full sized pickups that haven't seen a car wash since the Reagan Administration (they talk like they go mud bogging but it's really just years upon years of dirt road winters). That's almost as common an accessory for the style as a shiny pristine truck that's never carried a load bigger than the groceries.

    I could have sworn that a decade or more ago, the authorities busted the same type of terrorists in Michigan, except their plan was a little less concrete than ‘gonna shoot up police stations and other government buildings.’
