Oh Jesus!

Feds: Christian militia needed to be `taken down' 

DETROIT – It started inside a trailer home in rural Michigan, where a small family gathered before bed for prayer. Years later, the private devotions had evolved into a small militia of "Christian warriors" preparing to fight the Antichrist.

The changes in David Brian Stone's personal theology partly destroyed his marriage, his former wife says, and prosecutors claim they later led him to hatch a plot to kill police officers — a violent act the militia hoped would touch off an uprising against the government.

"The time had come that we needed to arrest them and take them down," U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade said Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press.

Prosecutors believe that Stone, 44, of Clayton, is the ringleader of the Hutaree militia, a name the group's Web site says they created to mean "Christian warrior." He was among eight members arrested during a series of weekend raids in three Midwestern states, which federal officials said they carried out after monitoring the group since last summer and learning they planned to launch their attack next month.

If you ever get a chance - read that book in the Bible where Jesus teaches his Apostles (militia) to raise arms.

I mean really - if you're a die hard Christian - shouldn't you just be forgiving the dudes effing with you?  With absolutely NO defense and certainly no offense.

Here are my two favorite parts:

"David would preach out of the Bible," said Donna Stone, who said she was married to David Brian Stone for about six years. "He would start at the beginning of Genesis and go to Revelations. He didn't get into Revelations because we didn't agree on it. David said it was supposed to be different. He had his own views. That's when I thought it was time for me to go."

 Uh - I'm going to go out on a limb and say that David's version of Revelations - that he didn't quite 'get into' - was that he WAS Revelations.  He was coming in to clean up for God like the Harvey Keitel as the Wolf in Pulp Fiction.

McQuade downplayed the role religious ideology played in the group's alleged plans, saying the "most troubling" finding of their investigation into the Hutaree were the details of their alleged plot. Prosecutors have said the militia planned to make a false 911 call, kill responding police officers and then use a bomb to kill many more at the funeral.

 David clearly thought if he killed a bunch of people in the name of Oh Jesus - he would then prompt the second coming - because honestly - who else is going to defend this guy in court besides  the forgive-meister - Jesus Christ.  Even the 30k/year state funded defense lawyers wouldn't take this.  It would have to take someone almighty.
