re: #131 Mike Lamb

A) Him being asked to leave (allegedly—and certainly not immediately) does not change the fact that he was drawn to the sovereign citizen ideology that permeated Bundy’s BS.

B) I’ve yet to see where someone said that Miller was booted (allegedly) for being too radical. The story was always that he had a record, and that someone involved had an iota of common sense that being involved with felons would not be helpful.

C) The GOP’s pathological need to paint every shooter/domestic terrorist as a lefty is entirely irrelevant. I’ll stipulate to it for the sake of argument. What is relevant is not the political stripes of the bad actor, but the political stripes of the people that are trying to prevent future mass shootings/domestic terror events.

D) Having said point C, fuck these guys for trying to wash their hands of the monster they helped create.

From what I gather the reason the Millers were kicked out was because Jerad was a felon, and at least someone there had the common sense to recognize that having a convicted felon walking around with an assault rifle is the worst kind of PR imaginable.
