Josh is very dramatic. It is apparent from his "creative" writing ("...it smelled like freedom"; "...out hopped patriots", the "Noble 46") that he views himself as an Aragornian hero, and enjoys the attention, influence and power his position allows him. I'm amused he chose to mention the detail that they ate cherry pie and drank pints of beer.

Josh has a lot to learn if he thinks any legal outcome is a "slam dunk". Being "in the right" certainly never has guaranteed a win....especially if you're up against those who have more power, money, and influence. There is truth to the adage that abusers, not victims, have allies.

Narcissism, guns and a battle mindset are a dangerous combination.

Great job, Dominick! So how does McPherson demonstrate harm? Patriots? This is more than a bit scarey. I am a Christian but I am not a warrior against government! Thats not what I signed up for. It is always disconcerting to me when a "religious unit" gets its fingers into politics. What happened to separation of church & state?

Well into this interview, Katie Roberts mentions "...some kind of restoration program" was developed for Art Azurdia by Josh @ GCC. It would be interesting to know if that is true...and if Clerc went through it, too.

Thank you for this link. I've listened to Julie Roys' stuff before but not this episode. I have been in contact with Katie a bit about her story. I'm interested to listen to the interview.
