The same year, the white supremacist terrorist group known as '''The Order''' began a series of armed robberies, murders and counterfeiting operations. Several members of the gang belonged to Christian Identity, including David Tate, who in 1985 killed a Missouri State Highway Patrol officer attempting to reach an Identity survivalist compound called the ''Covenant, the Sword, and the Arm of the Lord'' (CSA). An ensuing standoff resulted in the demise of the CSA and the arrest of its leadership. Subsequently, several Christian Identity groups attempted to follow in the footsteps of The Order, including '''The Order II''' and the '''Arizona Patriots''', who committed bombings and an attempted armored car robbery, respectively.

In the 1990s, Christian Identity criminal activity included efforts by an [[Oklahoma]] Identity minister, Willie Ray Lampley, to commit a series of bombings in the summer of 1995 in the wake of the [[Oklahoma City bombing]] by [[Timothy McVeigh]]. The following year, the '''Montana Freemen''', whose leaders were Identity, made headlines for their "paper terrorism" tactics and their 81-day standoff with the federal government. In 1998, Eric Rudolph, who had been associated with Identity ministers such as Nord Davis and Dan Gayman, became a fugitive after bombing gay bars, the Atlanta Summer Olympics, and an [[abortion]] clinic. The following year, Buford Furrow went on a shooting spree at a Jewish Community Center in [[Los Angeles]], wounding four children and an adult, and later killing a Filipino-American postal worker
