Just as we all know that everything isn’t black or white, neither can every member of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corp. be classified as either good or bad.
While Simcox and the other leaders have shown that they aren’t always upfront about how they run their organization, I don’t think it is fair for the general volunteers be labeled with the same negativity.
Many of the volunteers in the MCDC join and serve because they truly want a better, more free America– and are willing to dedicate ther time and effort to make sure that happens. I don’t think that’s bad, or it makes them bad. It’s just another example of how diverse groups of thinkers can have differences and be accepted in this country.
So when Simcox claims that I came into this project with a bias, and that I will “do a hit piece on us (them) like all the rest and it will make no difference,” unfortunately he and the rest of the MCDC leadership made an unfortunate mistake in judgement. Although they still would never believe it, I probably gave them the biggest chance to prove wrong what the rest of the media has been saying about them since the beginning of my project.
It’s unfortunate that a few bad apples can ruin the whole barrel to the public who perceive them. I understand this, and think others should take that into account as well.
