Michigan Terrorists Planned to Kill All State Legislators, Blow Up Capitol Building
Musico’s view was that that the state legislature was a “fishbowl” and that there was too much protection around the Capitol. He suggested instead that they go to politicians’ homes and perform the televised execution there, the AG’s Office said.
The Molotov Cocktail
At a March tactical training at his home, Musico said he had once thrown a Molotov cocktail into the home of a police officer who pulled him over, the AG’s Office said.
“He stated he waited outside the back door of the house and planned to shoot the officer when he came out, but ultimately decided not to,” according to the document.
“Hunt the Rich”
The militia members carried out multiple tactical training exercises at their rural property in remote Munith, including at least one in April and two in June, according to prosecutors.
On 9 April Musico said during planning for a tactical training that law enforcement could show up, the AG’s office said.
“Put your vest on, gear up and hunt the rich,” he said, according to the AG’s Office.
The AG’s document includes more than 20 exercises focused on three areas: vehicle training, ambush tactics and medical triage.
The schedule begins with “basic fundamentals for the new members” and goes on to list items such as “driver down situation,” “taking a (possible) hostile vehicle over,” “planned ambushes,” “L shape ambush” and “when is the right time to scream for a medic?”
According to the AG, Musico, during a June 28 training session, again expressed concerns with Fox’s plan and promoted his own strategy of killing politicians in their homes.
They were already doing training that would work with a home-targeting plan, the AG’s Office stated.
“Pete Musico, during a meeting, addressed the group and gave them an ultimatum: the group was heading toward ‘real s—-t’ action which required dedication to the group and cause,” the AG Office stated.
“If they had been training to improve their tactical skills, that was OK, but they needed to leave immediately if they didn’t want to be part of what was coming. No one in the group left. … Musico also advised an individual that he was preparing to produce more pounds of C-4 explosives in anticipation of planned events.”
“Willing to Die”
The Wolverine Watchmen was an exclusive group which demanded its members’ loyalty while excluding anyone who recognized the government as legitimate.
“Wolverine Watchmen is a group of Patriots to network and assemble and recruit like-minded individuals,” the AG’s brief quoted from the group’s private Facebook description.
The group was for “boojahidden only.” Those considered statists, “fudds” (a reference to the cartoon character Elmer Fudd to describe incompetent gun owners), bootlickers, cops and feds were not allowed, according to the AG brief.
“‘Boojahidden’ is a term derived from the term ‘mujahedeen’ and is a reference to fighters with weapons, gear, and training who are willing to die for their cause,” the brief reads.
“Boojahideen fighters are often rogue military members or rogue law enforcement officers who are prepared for the ‘boogaloo,’ which is a term used for the upcoming civil war, which will result from an uprising against the government.”
