Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Good article: http://wwmt.com/news/i-team/taking-a-look-at-militia-groups-in-michigan GG ~ Link to comment
Augustus Goodnight Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Not bad but since when did being a "private person" make one "notorious"? "Some militia men are notoriously private people" How about just saying that "Some militia men are very private people" without the negative sensationalism? Sounds like some journalism majors indoctrination is poking through. Link to comment
Badlands Beady Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Gus, I think you're being overly-critical. Your only comment on the entire article is to complain about a single word? Really? Myself, the article made me think it wouldn't be too bad to have those guys as neighbors. The Oregon folks, not so much. As for the two militias that backed out of the interview, we're left to wonder why. Overall, the piece seemed pretty calm and reasonable. Link to comment

Sounds like some journalism majors indoctrination is poking through. It is the media - no different than erroneously calling a semi-automatic rifle an 'assault' gun. I thought the article was fine overall. GG ~ Link to comment
Augustus Goodnight Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Like I said, Not Bad but.... I see all of the Rose, including the thorns. The inclusion of that statement is what's called a "Backdoor Zinger". It's about the same as hocking a loogie into a great pot of chili. Link to comment
Michigan Slim Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 They do make good neighbors, and friends, and family, and maybe your doctor. All walks of life in the militias. Good folks almost to the man (and woman). Link to comment

Understand - I see the whole 'rose' too - in this case the rose was more attractive as not to focus on the thorns. GG ~ Link to comment
