Jonn wrote about Kevin Massey here<\/a>. He was a felon in possession of a firearm, conducting militia activities on the border. He led a militia group that took matters into their own hands and detained illegal aliens crossing into the U.S. They set up a command post then conducted their patrols. Kevin Massey had a firearm when he wasn’t supposed to have one.<\/p>\n As Jonn pointed out, Massey and many people in these militias were felons. Kevin Massey had a social media presence, and he had many supporters. People praised him for standing up to the government and claimed that he was being persecuted by said government.<\/p>\n Many of these folk are people with criminal backgrounds or with shady characters who exercised one too many poor judgment calls in life. The result made it harder for them to have a track record of success. So, why not come up with wild stories claiming that a problem exists, then position themselves as the problem solver? Pay no attention to the checkerboard resume.<\/p>\n From The Dallas Morning News:<\/span><\/p>\n Massey, an electrician, was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison in 2016 for possession of a firearm by a felon, according to court records.<\/p>\n Law enforcement officials have warned about a rise in right-wing extremist activity in recent years that includes militia groups.<\/p>\n Although Massey called himself a patriot, the FBI considered him a domestic terrorist with “violent tendencies,” according to court records.<\/p>\n He was once found with 20 homemade explosive devices and other weapons and was considered armed and dangerous when he disappeared.<\/span> <\/strong>His prison writings, archived online by a supporter, as well as his Facebook posts show that he fervently embraced right-wing extremist movements, all of which deny the legitimacy of the U.S. government and any laws limiting gun ownership.<\/p>\n “Defendant Massey is a man who calls upon God to end the lives of the innocent to gratify his anger<\/span><\/strong>,” Assistant U.S. Attorney William Hagen wrote in 2015 in his unsuccessful attempt to seek a tougher prison term for Massey. “Defendant has called upon those who may share his misguided and misinformed views to take up arms in resistance against civilized laws enacted to protect the public.<\/span><\/strong>“<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The last bolded statement hints as someone having issues with authority. If you “peel the onion” dealing with Kevin Massey type militias, ANTIFA, BLM, etc., you’d find groups of people uniting behind a perceived problem. One that hinges on the assumption that the “problem” exists somewhere else and that it must be addressed.<\/p>\n The elephant in the room, peoples’ poor judgment, and what they’d rather do as opposed to what they are supposed to do, remain invisible. Thanks to GDContractor for the story.<\/p>\n The Dallas Morning News has details on this story<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
