But what's the point of kidnapping if you're going to kill the victim?

Somehow in their warped minds it would start a revolution, just like McVeigh.

What it would really have started is an uprising against them, and I would have joined it.

at an undisclosed location. OF course, that means she will be guilty and killed.

Re: Treason

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and


I'm guessing the plan was to find her guilty and carry out the death penalty.

the Governor of Michigan is protected by the Michigan State Police. Those overweight, sedentary, untrained militia members are going to kidnap who? I don't think so.

That's the thing about all those militia assholes. They talk a good fight, but never seem to actually show up to face a well-organized, well-trained force of law enforcement professionals.

There aren't enough of them to take on a small suburban police department, much less a State Police department.

Buncha freaking incel morons!
