Nine members of the Michigan-based Hutaree militia, who plotted to kill police officers and establish their own country, were ordered to be put on house arrest until trial because prosecutors could not prove that they pose a threat. What?

Last Saturday, a state park hosted the Southern Michigan Militia Field Day, complete with guns, tactical training, and a barbecue. In the shadow of the recent Hutaree militia arrests, this crowd was anxious to separate itself from "homegrown terrorists."

Among the eight apocalyptic Christian militia members indicted for sedition are the married couple who led Michigan's Hutaree militia, David "Captain Hutaree" Stone and wife Tina—the blushing bride of Hutaree, who uploaded wedding photos to Facebook in December.

A militant, Midwestern Christian group called the "Hutaree" was reportedly the target of government raids this weekend. Their leader, Raddock "RD" Merzonick, was arrested, and now, their web site is being attacked by internet trolls armed with gay porn.
