Then, the group planned to attack the funeral of that officer - in order to wreak further havoc by killing even more government and law-enforcement officials who would have gathered to mourn. According to court documents, Hutaree members met in February in Lewanee County, Mich., a rural county of barely 100,000 about a 90-minute drive southwest of Detroit, to train for just such an April exercise. The Hutaree website has a message urging members to contact headquarters...
