Arizona Patriots

The Arizona Patriots was an anti-Semitic group with an emphasis on stockpiling weapons and baiting public officials. The group first gained public notice by its efforts to clog the Arizona court system with nuisance lawsuits in the 1980's. This was a tactic also employed by the violence-prone Posse Comitatus, whose adherence to the anti-Semitic "Identity" doctrine and refusal to recognize any governmental authority higher than the county level were shared by the Arizona Patriots.VideoVideo: 2009I n August of 2009, a man toting an AR-15 showed up at a healthcare event where the President was to attend. He was interviewed by Ernest Hancock, who said he was packing a 9-millimeter Beretta. Hancock had staged the event and had legally defended the Viper Militia convicted of being weaponizers to domestic terrorists including those involved in the Oklahoma City bombing.Video: 2009 Earnest Hancock and the Viper Militia

Groups and individuals included in TRAC's database range from actual perpetrators of social or political violence to more passive groups that support or condone (perhaps unwittingly) such violence. The spectrum of violence represented by these groups is vast, from Jihadists who bomb train stations to financial institutions that transfer funds. Some groups that originally engaged in violence but have since become legitimate political parties are included to provide historical perspective. TRAC is in no way attempting to determine whether groups or individuals are terrorists -- only to convey reported information about their activities and official State status. While TRAC attempts to ensure the accuracy of its TRAC database, the entries in the database are from numerous different sources. Hence, TRAC cannot and does not warrant the accuracy of the entries in its database. The editors of TRAC may modify these entries at any time and welcome comments and suggested corrections or additions.  Please write [email protected] or hit the "SUBMIT ADDITIONS" button on the page of the group profile about which you wish to comment.
