The Hutaree were arrested within days of the passing of ObamaCare and in the wake of protests over it around the country, alleged threats of violence and even isolated acts of vandalism.
To some, such as Monica Crowley and to us, it seemed the arrests were conveniently timed to quell the anger, a shot across the bow of the people that they should expect to be met by federal force if necessary.
And what is ObamaCare if not federal force? You will either buy health insurance, or pay a fine.
The Detroit Free Press has the full story here, with this interesting detail:
According to trial testimony, health care is one of the issues that fired up the Hutaree.
As defendant Joshua Stone said in one recording played in court Monday: "I look forward to us shootin' this fall ... cause if they push that health care, we're goin' in."
