Those militant traitors give people who really need psychiatric help a bad name. They're the reasons mental illness gets the bad rap it does.

Fear!

Not buying the argument people should have guns because they are scared. That is what gets innocent people shot scared people pulling a trigger.

Stupid, sure. But the hatred and paranoia speaks to something far deeper. Cult-like? Mentally ill? Or maybe just batshit crazy.

15. They are members of a club

There are all kinds of clubs. You can be a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, but that’s not very exclusive. If you wear the right colors, clap or groan at the right time, you’re in. You don’t have to pay dues or do much except be at the local bar at the right time on game day. Nobody will say you’re not “really” a fan.

But being in the Bundy Gang, you have a complex set of interlocking beliefs, passwords, possessions, activities, and dues. You’ll arouse suspicion if you call a clip a magazine, or if you can’t identify an “admiralty” flag and know its significance. You have to synthesize a whole world order out of disparate bits and pieces of historical events, random words or phrases from sacred texts (including, but not limited to, the Bible, the Magna Carta, Greek myths and legends, and the Federalist Papers).

If you can pass muster with the leaders of this leaderless group, you’re in. The scrutiny never stops, though, and at any moment you can be called to account for your words, actions, facial expressions, or choice of snack food. This group is tight-knit, suspicious of outsiders and non-believers, simultaneously on the lookout for new members while keeping most people at arms’ length. They have exclusive possession of the truth, which they constantly tell and re-tell to each other, maintaining orthodoxy and ensuring purity. It can be intoxicating (not to mention ego-stroking) to be one of the select keepers and guardians of a secret flame.

Where the FBI profilers take turns describing the UnSub's criminal psychology to the room full of small town cops. Except this is better and also spot on I think.

Well done my friend.

I'd like to see one of those scenes where they "deliver" the profile by observing that the unsubs are degenerate buffoons, all 6' tall, 200+ pounds, bearded, no necks, and iq about 85.

That being said, ten bucks says you throw your hands up and surrender when the shooting starts. I actually hope I'm wrong. The world is a much better place without you...
