Entertaining -- and appalling -- thread.
I'm surprised nobody has yet mentioned the parallels these loonies have with
Rainbow Farm. Briefly summarized: RF was a Michigan stoner retreat run by two partnered gay redneck survivalists (!) The place was a haven for marijuana smokers and neo-hippie festivals until they started openly thumbing their noses at the drug laws, and found themselves besieged by State and Federal agents. After the two partners started burning down buildings on the land, the LEOs shot them to death.
It would have been a bigger story, but 9/11, which happened just a few days later, blew the incident out of the news.
There's a good book that tells the whole story.
