"We believe that one day, as prophecy says, there will be an Anti-Christ," the group's Web site said. "Jesus wanted us to be ready to defend ourselves using the sword and stay alive using equipment."

I believe fanatics are, by definition, nuts regardless of religious persuasion.

So what was their crime? I could not find a statement of charges.

Apparently the sealed warrants are set to be un-sealed today. But I note that these raids were by the ATF, and some of the venues were trailer parks. Based on that, I'll bet they were probably after illegal hand-rolled ciggies and moonshine; or maybe they were concerned about tornadoes.

Just an FYI - conspiracy is more than just "talking about it". There must be at least one specific act in furtherance of the conspiracy committed by at least one member of the conspiracy. In this case, those specific acts are described in the indictment:

http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/03/29/michigan.arrests/?hpt=T1

According to the plan, the indictment said, the Hutaree wanted to use improvised explosive devices to attack law enforcement vehicles during the funeral procession. The indictment said those explosive devices, commonly called IEDs, constitute weapons of mass destruction.

Subsequently, the indictment said, Hutaree leader David Brian Stone obtained information about IEDs over the Internet and e-mailed diagrams to a person he believed could manufacture them.

He then had his one of his sons, Joshua Matthew Stone, and others gather materials necessary to manufacture IEDs, the indictment alleges.

According to the indictment, David Brian Stone and David Brian Stone Jr. taught other Hutaree members in June how to make and use explosive devices.
