'Us vs. them': Recruiting Wyomingites for domestic fight

On the evening of Friday, September 25th between 100-150 people gathered at the Albany County Fairgrounds for an event that called on “ALL PATRIOTS” to “take back OUR town.” Current and aspiring local elected officials — including the chair of the Albany County Commission — spoke in advance of the headliner, John “Tig” Tiegen, who had come to educate the crowd on how to “help defend against domestic terrorists.”

Tiegen was billed as a “hero from the Battle of Benghazi,” referring to his role in defending a United States diplomatic compound in Libya during the 2012 attack that left four Americans dead.

A member of the Annex Security Team, Tiegen’s exploits were recounted in the book 13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi. Michael Bay directed the movie version.
