Long-time Militia Leader Mike Vanderboegh Has Died

Michael Brian Vanderboegh, who rose from the 1990s militia ranks to become the angry, vocal co-founder of the extremist, pro-gun III Percent movement, using an Internet blog to promote his antigovernment views, has died.

Vanderboegh, 64, who described himself as a “Christian libertarian,” died Wednesday after a lengthy battle with cancer that he discussed frequently on his blog, “Sipsey Street Irregulars,” which he started in 2009.

His death was reported by The Kansas City Star and confirmed by his friend and ally, David Codrea.

My Dad died of pancreatic cancer 6 years ago this week.

Was not pleasant, while he wasn't screaming in pain, he was not comfortable.
