Wakefield Standoff Suspects Claim To Be Part Of Group Called ‘Rise Of The Moors’

WAKEFIELD (CBS) — Interstate 95 in Wakefield was shut down by a standoff between Massachusetts State Police and a group of heavily armed men Saturday morning. The men claim to be part of a group called “The Rise of The Moors – The Moorish American Arms.”
The group claims to be American nationals but not US citizens. They have a Moroccan flag.
The standoff stems from an incident hours earlier where a trooper stopped on I-95 to help two cars pulled over in the breakdown lane. State Police said it appeared the two cars were refueling, but the trooper quickly noticed eight-to-10 people were wearing full military-style uniforms. They were armed with long rifles and pistols. The trooper asked for driver’s licenses and proper licensing for the guns but they did not provide any.
They were allegedly headed from Rhode Island to Maine with camping equipment for training.
“This is not a well-known group. They’re not on the radar of law enforcement agencies widely across the country, but they are now,” WBZ security expert and former Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said.
The leader of the group was live-streaming on social media during the incident. He said the group was not anti-government, anti-police, or sovereign citizens.
“These guys have hijacked social media and mainstream media in Massachusetts, to get their word out,” Davis said. “It’s very unusual – unless the group has a plan; unless the group has been thoughtful about merging on the public scene. If that was their plan today, they’re achieving that goal.”

They’re on their way to pilot school. They’ll be released shortly.
Nothing to see here.

Eight heavily-armed Moorish-Americans flee into woods during traffic stop and then go on YouTube to insist they are peaceful - as Mass. cops issue urgent 'shelter-in-place' warning

1. WTF are 'moorish-americans?'
2. WTF did these thugs get all of that heavy armament? Hey, dementia patient, got an answer? And when will they pay the price?
Massachusetts police have issued an urgent shelter-in-place warning for residents in two towns near Boston after eight heavily armed men fled into woodland during a traffic stop.
A state trooper spotted the men pulled over by the side of the I-95 between Wakefield and Reading at 1.30 on Saturday morning, and asked them for identification.
The group were dressed in tactical-style gear and were armed with both pistols and rifles. They refused to comply with orders to drop their weapons and ran into the woodland by the side of the road.
The men claim to be from a group named 'Rise Of The Moors'. It is currently unclear how closely they are related to Moorish Sovereign Citizens - a separate extremist group of squatters who do not recognize the authority of the United States government or its laws.
Police have confirmed that members of the group posted to the YouTube account 'Rise of the Moors' early on Saturday morning.
They were reportedly on their way from Rhode Island to Maine to conduct 'training' when the incident in Massachusetts occurred.
But YOUR weapon ownership is being increasingly restricted!

You're assuming that they know anything about who the moors were and their history. Unlikely!

And closer than ever, or at least since 9/11.
