Because despite all evidence to the contrary the press doesn't seem to want to refer to them as "suspected terrorists" despite the fact that a raid of several member's homes in Alabama yielded "nearly 250 grenades and improvised explosive devices and 2,500 rounds of ammunition". Alice Martin, a not-yet-sacked US Attorney, announced the arrests and said that the group, which is considered violent, " just have a beef with the government". Let us see how the press describes these lovely men shall we?
The Huntsville (AL) Times - "anti-government militia"
The Sand Mountain (AL) Reporter - "anti-government group"
The Birmingham (AL) Times - "a group"
The esteemed Washington Times - - "a militia operation"
ABC News - no categorisation at all
So the Feds arrest five men who have a "beef with the government" and who have been "stockpiling weapons" including explosives not to mention drugs and it's no big deal. They must be white Christians.
