the Oath Keepers. Do remember a Religious group in the early eighties run by the Tent Preachers. We had a event in MPLS where fifty thousand filled the Metrodome for each session one weekend. The local Chapter was form in New Praque and operated a Church in Prior Lake in a abandon strip mall along Hwy 13.

Had several of this Guys on my work crew at the time,and they were proud about recruiting County Deputies as well as members of South Mpls Suburban Pd's. And this was all early 1980's.
