I'm glad she's safe, but had she been kidnapped it might have been like "the ransom of red chief"
Hardly. Their plan was to put her on trial and then execute her. They had staked out her house on multiople occasions to learn her routines. This plot was as serious as a heart attack.
Members of this group have murdered police officers. The shooter who shot and injured the protestor in Albuquerque was a member of the Boogaloo Boys. Like the Proud Boys, these guys show up at protests armed with brass knuckles, semi-automatic weapons, dressed in camo and looking military. Many of them are ex-military.
I met a few hard core "survivalists in the 1980's. One of his buddies was a Captain in the Princess Patricia's Light Infantry. One of my roommates was into this stuff. Him and his ex-military/ex cop buddies would go out into These guys were hard core and I wouldn't mess with any of them. All of them had been in fire fights. They had no mal intent. They enjoyed the challenge of walking into the woods with a backpack full of gear, MRE's, and spending the weekend hunting and foraging. I can easily see a group of guys like this with mal intent doing something like this.
They would certainly have the skills and discipline to pull it off. And this group has repeatedly shown a lack a fear in killing police, government, or protestors.
