Boy, those militia types sure are pussies
Via Bubba (is it sad that I read Bubba before reading the local newspaper?), comes this:
He was armed to rob a bank and ready to wage war with terrorists. But he fainted at the sight of two FBI agents.
Ronald Eric Myers, self-appointed president of a paramilitary group bent on protecting the homeland and accused mastermind of a plot to rob a LaFollette bank, contends he was so spooked when agents showed up to arrest him that he fainted and bumped his head.
Factor in “learning disabilities,” and Myers insists in court records that he was in no shape to waive away his rights and confess.
And why was he robbing banks? To get money to fight terrorists of course:
In his confession, authorities say, Myers told the FBI that he was president of the American Independence Group, a paramilitary organization Myers said he founded to protect his homeland in the event of another terrorist attack.
FBI agent David Bukowski has testified that the group, with its handful of members, was too broke to adequately arm its members with weapons and survival kits so Myers concocted a plan to rob the bank to get cash.

Translation: We’re making sure we have enough guns and ammo to declare open season on darkies who wear funny clothes.
