If you haven’t yet heard about Lyle Barkley’s struggles with Charlevoix County and Bay Township, Michigan, you probably will soon enough. He’s fighting a court order to remove some trailers from his property, and has vowed to defend his rights by whatever means necessary. An armed 600 man militia from Denver has agreed to help him defend his property against government authorities, and two Michigan based militias are also planning to join the fray. Barkley’s supporters have set up a blog to keep the public informed. It sounds like this situation could turn ugly in the next few days. If the feds get involved, they’ll have to brand Barkley and his family as terrorists, and I don’t see that charge sticking against a patriotic American who’s just trying to defend his property rights. Whether or not he’s in the wrong legally won’t matter to most people; morally, people are going to feel for this guy if the situation develops into another Waco/Ruby Ridge scenario.
