Cue up another conservative tantrum: DHS issues warning about threat from right-wing terrorists
A new intelligence assessment circulated by the Department of Homeland Security warns law enforcement agencies of the continuing threat from right-wing extremists.
The report, which was produced in coordination with the FBI, focuses on the threat posed by so-called sovereign citizens, who believe that federal, state, and local laws do not apply to them.
Federal authorities listed 24 violent attacks in the U.S. since 2010 that have been carried out by sovereign citizens, usually against law enforcement officers, reported CNN.
Violence during 2015 will occur most frequently during routine law enforcement encounters at a suspects home, during enforcement stops and at government offices, the DHS report warns. Law enforcement officers will remain the primary target of [sovereign citizen] violence over the next year due to their role in physically enforcing laws and regulations.

(53,661 posts)6. As Obama said at the White House Correspondents Dinner:
"The Koch Brothers bought a table but as usual they used a shadowy front. Hello, Fox News!"
The Fox heads were not amused at that. They also had an extended white wine and blue cheese fest on the Fox Channel.
They felt insulted by the White House removing the word 'News' from the name tag there, leaving only 'Fox Network.'
And they don't ever talk about the Koch brothers, the men behind the curtain.

what's there name down in Nevada last year. Those clowns are dangerous and inhabit large areas in my region. Most think of themselves as some degree of SC type and usually have lots of guns.
The public does need to get its collective head out of their cellphones and gameboys and pay attention.
Reminds me of...
