This is a serious story but this made me burst out laughing. Sorry, the PR agent for these heavily armed militias was unable to return my request for comments.

It’s just good journalism to give everyone in a story a chance to defend their position, even if those opportunities are often not taken up.

I have seen journalists give 24 hr to defend your position. Many times it’s zero time.

The confusion comes from thinking these are organized groups with a solid chain of command, author seems wildly uninformed.

Most are loose gatherings of people who like shooting guns where people come and go week to week.

The one who seems confused is you, the section in the article talks about members themselves not some imaginary PR person.
