Least Shocking News Ever
The real crisis at the order.
Larry Mitchell Hopkins, a 69-year-old Trump supporter and leader of a rightwing militia in New Mexico, has been kidnapping immigrants at gunpoint and pretending to be a U.S. Border Patrol agent. He was arrested yesterday and charged with possessing firearms and ammunition as a convicted felon.
Instead of hiding under white hoods, they hide behind fake badges and paramilitary costumes. But make no mistake, they are the same people with the same hate.
I have an idea what we should do with these wanna-be cops. Let’s round them up with all their ammo and send them on an expense paid trip to Yemen to fight Trump’s war.
Folks in New Mexico don’t agree with me. Get a load of this:
A prominent New Mexico Republican, Gavin Clarkson, a former Trump administration official who is now running for United States Senate, met with masked members of the group in March and praised their efforts, according to a video of the encounter uploaded to Facebook.
Clarkson is now saying of the group, “Masked militiamen are the antithesis of what a free republic looks like.” It’s strange how rising of the white hoods makes the cockroaches scramble.
Clarkson: “Masked militiamen are the antithesis of what a free republic looks like.”
Seems like a nice metaphorical noose to hang around Clarkson’s neck!
1Make that a one way trip to Yemen. No return.

One can hope that will appear in his opposition’s election campaign ad.
2“New Mexico, has been kidnapping immigrants at gunpoint and pretending to be a U.S. Border Patrol agent. ”
————————–
I would be shocked if there were no incidents of sexual assault of the kidnapping victims by Hopkins and his band of thugs and goons. I would also be shocked if we ever found out about such assaults based on how frightened the victims would be to report the crimes.
Who would they go to for help? More “law enforcement”?
3“possessing firearms and ammunition as a convicted felon.”
I wonder if he cut his NRA bumper sticker in half and proudly displayed on the back of his pickup:
outlaws will have guns
4These assholes aren’t a militia. They are vigilantes.
5Sounds like another one of those sovereign citizen groups.
6How about letting them do humanitarian work? Mine clearing in the Stans. Or help the capitalist oil companies in Lybia, they still have to deal with WW2 mines. The latter would pay better but same steeep learning curve.
