Skippy sends us a link to the story of Bill Keebler and his elves who plotted to blow up a Bureau of Land Management cabin in Arizona. Keebler is the nominal leader of a band of misfits called the “Patriot’s Defense Force”. They wanted to avenge the death of Arizona rancher Robert “LaVoy” Finicum. According to the Daily Miner<\/a>, the group contemplated blowing up a BLM office in downtown Salt Lake City, but they decided that it was too visible, so they settled on a BLM facility in the wilds. They recruited a couple of FBI agents and set out on their mission; <\/p>\n

Keebler traveled to the Arizona cabin Tuesday night with militia members and undercover FBI employees. An inactive explosive was placed against the door and Keebler was handed a remote detonation device and pushed it several times, according to the FBI.<\/p>\n

The FBI arrested Keebler in Utah on Wednesday morning. He faces one count of attempting to damage federal property with an explosive. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison, according to U.S. Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Melodie Rydalch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From the Salt Lake City Tribune<\/a>;<\/p>\n

He asked a militia member \u2014 who happened to be an undercover FBI employee \u2014 to build an explosive device.<\/p>\n

In April, the militia member showed him a video of a 6-inch pipe bomb blowing up office furniture in the mountains of southern Utah. Keebler asked the militia member to make more of those bombs, saying he hoped to target a BLM cabin in Mount Trumbull, Ariz., that he had visited with Finicum for reconnaissance in October 2015.<\/p>\n

He wanted two bombs \u2014 one that he would detonate near one of the cabins at the Mount Trumbull facility, and the other to use against law enforcement agents if they were stopped driving to or from Mount Trumbull.<\/p>\n

Keebler planted the device \u2014 which, unknown to him, was inert \u2014 late Tuesday. He tried multiple times to detonate the device remotely, charging documents state, before departing. The FBI arrested him Wednesday morning in Nephi.<\/p>\n

According to the charging documents: “Keebler made it clear he didn’t plan on blowing people up for now, but he wanted his group to be prepared to escalate things, and take people out if necessary.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess as long as these guys depend on the FBI to build their bombs for them we’re safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
