I thought the Daily News-Liar said he skipped out on a scheduled court appearance weeks ago and a warrant was issued for his arrest, but haven't heard a peep since although I could have missed it.  I figured they would have had daily updates on the search on page one.

No doubt.  He's stirred up all kinds of shit and now he will reap the whirlwind.  I've heard the ATF and FBI are actively trying to nail his ass to the wall.   That's got to suck, but it reminds me of the inspirational poster:

Thanks for kicking this  thread off.  I'd been wondering about this for the past couple of weeks.

Doesn't everyone know where he is?  Anyone could just drive around and look to see where the 5,000 member militia encampment is, right?  

It is good to see that maybe the feds have learned that there are better ways to arrest people than through frontal assaults.

Police chief Laren Zager said he was not authorized to give details because other law enforcement agencies are in charge of the operation.

Painting with a broad brush, and simply an observation. When you have a vocal guy "in charge" and you tack that "militia" label on your organization, you tend to get negative attention from the press and government.

You don't understand, this Cox guy is fuckin' nutty.  Nutty and charismatic, a dangerous mix.

I'm all for the militia/machine guns/freedom thing, but there's a line you don't cross, and that's kidnapping/assassination of public officials over a personal vendetta.  I wonder if those idiots realized that every email and phone conversation they had was being recorded.  Idiots.

I wish I knew Mike Anderson was in on this cause he's a personal friend and I would have tried harder to open his eyes to the fact that hanging out with Cox was a dead end street.  He seems to be the only one who was arrested that didn't really have a personal reason to go along with something like this, and I'm pissed that he chose this for himself.

Arming up to execute arrest warrants on a person who has issued thinly-veiled (and out-right) threats against individuals is not "making a statement" or "oppressing the freedom-lovers"......it is a reasonable precaution in the line of duty.

I believe those actions stemmed from unjust prosecution against him in earlier events.

Look I'm not supporting his "alleged plans" to kidnap, I'm not supporting him beating the shit out of his wife, I'm not defending his actions. I think his support of the second amendment and his mindset of not supporting the government to become tyrannical is a good thing.

I think the charge of him carrying concealed and not informing the state trooper or what not is total bs.

You guys up north are way more informed than us down south, I had never heard of him until he was charged on the concealed carry issue, I think on that issue that law enforcement was completely out of line and acting outside the scope of the constitution.

In Alaska you are required by state statute to inform law enforcement if you are carrying under certain circumstances.  It's pretty plain and simple but he chose to create an issue and get himself charged.  He has the potential to become the poster boy for the Brady bunch and other anti-gunners on why all us crazy gun toters should be disarmed.  He has done nothing to advance my gun rights and I don't appreciate his stupid actions drawing the attention of the media.  If this story goes national watch the lame stream media make us all out to be dangerous fools.

Google Hutaree Militia pretty similar situation and yet all charges eventually dropped. I would be more interested to know more about what the "illegal" weapons were. Maybe there was a hacksaw in proximity to a rifle and constructive intent is the charge.

Remember it's innocent until proven guilty not the other way around.

Read through the comments on ADM's article, there is a whole lot of liberals saying good job on arresting him, and a whole lot of conservatives saying differently.

So we should strip away his rights on the assumption that he will commit a crime? Maybe we should take away the 2nd amendment all together?
I'm sorry maybe I'm confused, it would appear that he has not been found guilty in a court of law at this point.
It would appear that every person in the country is capable of committing a crime at some point in time, therefore we should remove their firearms as well so that they don't go down in a blaze of glory too.

I only heard two supporters (only listened from 4-6 P.M.), one of whom I would classify as a nut.  She sounds like she is constantly off her meds.  One time she called in about black unmarked helicopters disgorging Federal agents at some relative's cabin out in one of the villages.  Somehow that never made the news.  *rolleyes*

At Cox’s arraignment, his attorney, Robert John, argued Cox should be allowed to have firearms in his home if he manages to post bail and be released. John said Cox needed to be armed “so he is not a sitting duck for people who may come after him.”

Really, so next time he has a chance to go down in a blaze of glory
Fucking retard


He argued the same thing after the wife choking and concealed carry with no LEO inform incidents.

I have mixed feelings on the whole thing, maybe I'd allow one pistol only.  The problem is that the guy seems mentally unstable to me- as a judge I'd probably order him to be evaluated and go from there.  As pro 2A as I am, giving a gun to a psycho is obviously a bad idea.  The guy is stupid for getting caught doing dumb shit when so many eyes were obviously on him, but is he certifiably crazy?.

This whole thing reeks of the Hutaree thing that happened a while back, and all charges were eventually dropped in that instance.

I wonder if there was an insider informant???

Random thoughts after reading the documentation.  Thanks for posting the links:

–– It says he had prohibited weapons - an automatic assault rifle and pineapple grenades filled with black powder.  This doesn't sound like a constructive intent charge.
–– How do they not know who 'Ken' is?
–– It's interesting that they state that 'they do not believe that Cox has a Class 3 FFL'.  Why wouldn't they know this?
–– If the quotes are correct and they have tape on it, all I can say is 'Wow'.  There's no way to take those quotes out of context to mean much other than what they state.
–– Cox wanted to go down in a blaze.  It definitely wouldn't have been a blaze of glory.  He's not just way off the deep end, he's not very smart either.  He should have known he was in the cross-hairs but he continued to make really bad decisions.  ETA: Maybe this is the result that he wanted?

He could have furthered his causes in much more productive ways than he has.

Whoa, those docs paint a pretty vivid picture.  Wonder what method(s) of surveillance the FBI used?  They heard inside the houses, did they plant a bug or have one of the people wired?

Also, the articles all say that there are only federal charges against one of the guys...  And it's not Francis?

Where's the BATFE in all of this?  Grenades and an illegal MG???  They're probably busy figuring out how to get it to Mexico.  

Looks like Mike figured out the world of shit he was getting into and backed out, but he was already a party in the conspiracy and had previously hidden Cox's stuff before the cops got to it.

Man, our law enforcement folks did a spectacular job in making those arrests with nobody hurt.  That kind of raid could have gone very bad in a bunch of ways, especially with a gang that far off the deep end.

My long-declining degree of respect for Cox finally hit zero when I read about his '"241" (two for one) plan' in the criminal complaint.  Having some doubts about the courts' legitimacy is kinda kooky; but taking active steps toward killing local law enforcement is weapons-grade crazy.

The fact that Cox was taken into custody unharmed, gets an attorney and the presumption of innocence, and can plead his case in open court, is itself tangible proof of the legitimacy of our court system.

Congratulations to the members of law enforcement for taking these guys into custody without an incident.  

You know who I feel sorry for?  Schaeffer's kid.  I wonder how old his kid is?  Above all else, I think he had a responsibility to his child not to get mixed up in all this.  What a waste.

The only time I really remember seeing Schaeffer around was a few years ago at the Republican Convention in Anchorage.  The kid was pretty passionate about what he believed in, and was on the right track if that's what he wanted.  I remember former LT. Governor Loren Leman hosting the event even cracking some smiles and sort of congratulating Schaeffer on his tenacity for as young as he was.  

This is kinda the way I see it...

The Founders of this Country went through a living hell to give us what we have.  We were blessed enough to have the opportunity to live here and all that is required is to stay vigilant and safe guard the Liberty that the Founders died for.  Is everything perfect?  Hell no.  But that doesn't give you the right to kill someone because they are not following what you believe the Constitution to say.  The Founders gave us the opportunity to be able to get involved in the political process, and that's what Schaeffer should have stuck with.  

We still have the right to run for office ourselves, and help put others in office that have political views that we agree with.  If you think things are screwed up then you better try harder in the political process.  That’s it.  You do not get to throw my Country off a cliff because you’re pissed about the way things are going.  And if you try, I hope the fine members of our law enforcement put your silly ass in jail in the same peaceful manner.  Until you no longer have a right to vote, run for office, participate in the political process, or they start putting us in ovens, this is the way things need to stay.        

Timinem...I understand the point you were trying to make, even though it might not have typed out well.

Don't you guys have calculators in Fairbanks?

"your administrativeness"

I'm going to have to laugh every time I think about this one.  He is a creative guy.

Congrats again to the folks who planned the take-down.  I guess they'll be sticking around for awhile to make sure the supposed 'militia' doesn't rise up?  Maybe we'll get to (unknowingly) meet a few of them at Anderson?

It will be interesting to see how this plays out for Michael.  From reading the court documents it seems that he knew this was going in a bad direction and no longer wanted to participate.  He would have been a good potential informant for the LEO's.  I wonder if they approached him and he refused or if they already had somone inside when he started coming to his senses and they no longer needed him?

The lesson learned from him could be that his lack of additional participation didn't stop his prosecution.  Assuming everything they accuse is true, he would have had to approach the LEO's to have tried to extract himself from the situation.

Any thoughts?

Part 1 of 11

Some of you guys appear to have some hatred towards him, what ever.

It's because less and less people think like him that we have obama in the white house and a federal,state, and city governments that are no longer of the people and for the people.

He had some shit wrong with him as well, it's no different than anyone else. We see this with the Joe Miller vs Murkuntski election. How many people that you know voted for lisa because Joe wasn't perfect. The problem is while waiting for the perfect candidate, worthless pieces of shit are getting elected instead of someone that has the right core ideas.

I would much rather have Schaeffer Cox's running around than obama voting liberals.
You guys seem to disagree, so whatever.
