>"The Capitol riot has forced a reckoning inside America’s militant groups."

I thought about the zip ties during the Capitol riot, when I saw a photo of a man carrying some through the Senate chamber while decked in his own battle-rattle. It made me wonder: How far was he really willing to go? It’s the same question most of the country is asking about militant groups this week, with government buildings on lockdown and the FBI issuing arrest warrants for those who allegedly entered the Capitol. So I reconnected with people like Baird, to see if they knew the answer.

Militias are not inherently bad, but there are always a few rouge ones who just want anarchy.  It is unfortunate that Trump's lies about his opponents and the election process created an atmosphere that encouraged these folks to rise up against part of our government.   Hopefully a more honest and inclusive administration will calm things down and allow people to work together to make things better for everyone.
