Donald Day Jr, US sovereign citizen linked to Wieambilla murders, was prepared for deadly 'last stand' with police, court hears

An American extremist linked to the Wieambilla killers claims he wished he had joined in on their massacre of Queensland police officers and threatened to kill the FBI agents who arrested him, a US court has heard.
WARNING: This story contains strong language and references to political violence.
A newly-released court transcript has revealed the disturbing interactions Arizona sovereign citizen Donald Day Jr had with the FBI after he was arrested earlier this month.
In it, a federal prosecutor detailed Mr Day's violent criminal history - particularly towards police - allegations that he made threats towards his arresting officers, and his "extremely dangerous" mindset which ultimately led a judge to deny him bail.
Mr Day was a close confidant of Stacey and Gareth Train, the couple who, alongside Gareth's brother Nathaniel, shot dead constables Rachel McCrow and Matthew Arnold and a neighbour in Wieambilla last year.
The 58-year-old was arrested in Heber-Overgaard, a rural community of around 3,000 people in Navajo County, on December 1 and stands accused of inciting violence online and making interstate threats.
Later, during Mr Day's detention hearing days, Dondi Osborne from the US Attorney's Office said Mr Day and his wife Sabrina Spires were prepared to die during a "last stand" with police at his fortified off-grid property.
Mr Day was arrested by tactical teams inside a shared Dairy Queen and service station parking lot in town, after police believed it too dangerous to detain him at his Antelope Valley ranch.
The prosecutor described how a shipping container surrounded by stacked sandbags on his property created an effective sniper's nest for Mr Day.
The court heard agents found nine firearms, several thousand rounds of ammunition, body armour, and gas masks at the address.
The prosecution said Mr Day had referenced this property as the spot for his "last stand" against any law enforcement.
'I wish I had been there'
On the day he was apprehended, Mr Day was urged to record a video for his wife - who has appeared in several videos with him, including those discussing the Trains - asking her to come out peacefully.
It's alleged Mr Day told FBI agents: "If anything happens to my wife, and if I ever get out of these cuffs, I'll come for every f*cking one of you".
When asked about the Trains' deaths, Mr Day allegedly said: "I wish I had been there to kill those f*ckers with them so they weren't alone".
Mr Day, who had waived his right to silence, also allegedly told the agents that if the SWAT teams had come for him at his ranch, he would've died in a shootout with them.
Ms Spires echoed the sentiment in a later interview with the FBI and said she was prepared to fight and die alongside her husband.
"She said ... if the SWAT team had responded, I would essentially be in heaven now with Mr Day as well as the Trains," Ms Osborne told the court.
In arguing for his continued detention, the prosecutor referenced repeated calls Mr Day made for the mass killing of law enforcement and government officials in the lead-up to the death of the Trains.
One instance cited was in July last year. On a YouTube channel called Kansas Prepper, Mr Day allegedly called for people to rally with him at Wounded Knee - the site of an infamous massacre of Native Americans in South Dakota by the US Army - to "kill the bad guys", but none had answered his call.
"I am not one of the pussified patriots who refuse to rally, fight, and die, if necessary," Mr Day allegedly commented.
"My wife has a lunch packed for me, my gear is within arm's reach of me, and my rifle is oiled. I'm ready to head out the door in less than five minutes."
