Christian Militia Group Burns U.N. Flag In YouTube Clip (VIDEO)

The Michigan militia Hutaree, whose members have been charged for an alleged plot to attack police, burns a U.N. flag in a video posted on the group’s YouTube page.

The clip dated June 30, 2009, and described as “UN in America,” shows flames engulfing a U.N. flag in slow motion, over the sound of “First and Last and Always,” by the 80s goth-rock band Sisters of Mercy.

Hutaree members wielding assault rifles then hoist the group’s own flag, emblazoned with a dagger and two pillars forming an “H,” a pair of red spears, and “CCR,” the acronym for Colonial Christian Republic.

The video also features a mock booby trap assassination involving a trip wire and explosives. Watch it:
