The men had a deadly plot to lure government forces into a trap, federal officials say, and were amassing a stockpile fit for war.
There were Kevlar helmets and body armor, pipe bombs and handmade grenades, large amounts of gunpowder and dozens of rounds of ammunition for a military-grade sniper rifle.
Federal officials say three North Carolina men — Walter Eugene Litteral, 50; Christopher James Barker, 41; and Christopher Todd Campbell, 30 — spent months compiling their cache, much of it purchased through a military surplus store owner who became so concerned about the plot that the person became the FBI’s informant.
The men were arrested Saturday and charged with conspiracy and amassing weaponry allegedly to combat what they believe is the government’s plan to impose martial law through (among other things) the controversial multi-state military exercise known as Jade Helm.

There are at least a couple of other stories just like it involving different parties. Basically, the paranoid world of make-believe that is the conservative blog-o-sphere/talk radio is getting some people so riled up that they are finally beginning to get themselves killed and/or arrested. I just can't even... I don't know whether to feel sad or filled with glee over this. It's kind of sad because their pathetic hit and run attacks on government officials are potentially dangerous, but hilarious because I just can't believe how incredibly ******* stupid these people are. This is more or less along the same vein as the drama over Benghazi and the more recent Planned Parenthood fiasco, only now these loony-tunes are beginning to feel threatened personally and this is the result.
It just makes my head spin to think about and to try and put myself into their perspective-- trying to imagine such tremendous amounts of fear because, I dunno, the president is black? Do you think perhaps maybe it is time to start toning down the pretend news on the internet somehow or should crank it up a notch and just let all the crazies weed themselves out of the gene-pool?
