According to DOJ documents, federal agents have arrested three men from Gaston County, North Carolina, on conspiracy charges in a plot attack the government. The men are accused of prepping for a martial law scenario by stockpiling weapons, ammunition, tactical gear and attempting to rig home-made explosives.
The complaint against the three men, Walter Eugene Litteral, 50, Christopher James Barker, 41, and Christopher Todd Campbell, 30, mentions Jade Helm 15 as having fueled their impetus to ‘violate federal laws’.

Fear makes u do some stupid things
Hence my statement “Once again media printing half truths”
I did’nt read the post, or do any fact checking on this, but let me tell you what I think about the headline!
Wake up sheep!!! The liberals are coming for your guns! If Jade Helm was just a drill, why aren’t the troops home yet? If these brave patriots can be arrested for prepping, what do you think those tyrannical cops will do to you? Wake up, it’s here!!!!!!
Everything is a Federal Crime now. This is no longer America.
I can tell by the comments most people didn’t actually read the article. They were making explosives ……”prepping for martial law” but then again…perhaps going to the movies/school/college/ or live interview? Hmmmm, well I feel safer knowing they are not out and about with bombs. Nothing wrong with preparing for anything ….guns/food etc…..things change when u start producing bombs. Not completely sure…but I don’t remember bombs being in the survivors handbook!
I agree that the making of bombs is NOT a part of prepping, but it could be a part of a well-designed defensive position once TSHTF!!! But, while there are still federal laws on the books, making bombs is a great way to meet new and different people in the federal big house!

So where’s the crime?
To everyone asking if prepping is now illegal, the answer is no it isnt. However, creating homemade explosives (pipe bombs, etc) is illegal. Stop falling victim to the headline and read the article.
I bet they were arrested for making explosives.
