Well this guy has definitely been identified; and he was also found to be a member of a anarchist organization, which is tracking and harassing federal officers in the region.

It was discovered that they were using a web application to communicate. It was not secure, and in the end it’s downfall exposed not only this fellow Pretti (who got himself shot unfortunately) but also members of the local and state government.

They were all part of an organized communist/criminal group, devoted to resisting the legal authorities.

Hello; This is news to me. I am not surprised, however. Such would indicate this is not merely a grassroots phenomenon of ordinary folks. Sort of going for broke the way some NFL teams did in the recent playoff games. Going for a touchdown rather than taking th field goal points. The analogy is much darker because football teams merely lose games and Superbowl hopes.

There are many things which need to be fixed in this country. While i get the notion of helping the needy and in this context giving foreign refugees a place to live. Sounds good until those you help begin to steal from you. I saw on today's news a newly installed boss in VA hopes to pass legislation which make it a crime to, in effect, ask questions of anyone involved in social welfare programs. Thus, would apparently shield those committing fraud of taxpayer monies.

Will these moves pay off next major election? I do not see how. but then I spend hours weekday mornings watching Washington Journal. I listen to the call in talk from all over the country and even the world. There are a lot of what seem unhinged folks out there. The things they say just do not make sense and the ones who do make sense seem rare.

I do not see the end game of local and/or state officials fomenting physical resistance against legitimate federal officers who are enforcing established law. Folks illegally in this country have been deported for as long as i am alive. One notable difference now is the border is essentially closed.
