Quotes from the above story;
From the mouth of a US Attorney Falvey, "...there is nothing wrong with owning guns or hating the government..."
So why were they arrested?
Well, there is that little matter of plotting to murder police officers, just so they could kill a bunch more officers with IED explosions at a funeral procession, allegedly to start some kind of civil war.
You think they have fear of law enforcement? You arrest them like dogs and don't present any evidence against them at the hearing.
Evidence would be detailed in the indictments and charging papers.
They were lied to by the .gov, "...were lured to a warehouse to attend a phony memorial service so they would be unarmed when authorities arrested them..."
Well, if you are attempting to round up criminal suspects who are allegedly involved in a plot to murder law enforcement officers, and you know they are armed, you don't tell them ahead of time you want to arrest them so you'll meet with them at a designated location, shake hands and slap the cuffs on them.
Show me the evidence these guys had bombs and plans to use them... Cops can talk a good game but the real proof is when it goes to court. They should have burned the warehouse and then they wouldn't of had to prove anything in court.
At the risk of sounding offensive, why should the authorities have to show
you anything? Who are you (as in, what makes you so special that you deserve to see it)?
You answered your own challenge. The real proof will be determined in court. Prosecutors aren't going to just tell everybody everything prior to a trial as it would taint the jury pool irreparably.
Evidence is presented at trial.
I have no idea whether these people are innocent or guilty. That's the way it's supposed to be until a jury delivers a verdict.
