..and the racists come out of the woodwork

Breaking news.

WASHINGTON—Federal agents have broken up a plot to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people in a Tennessee murder spree, the ATF said Monday.


In court records unsealed Monday, federal agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target a predominantly African-American high school by two neo-Nazi skinheads. Agents said the skinheads did not identify the school by name.


Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville field office for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the two men planned to shoot 88 black people and decapitate another 14. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.


The men also sought to go on a national killing spree, with Obama as its final target, Cavanaugh told The Associated Press.
"They said that would be their last, final act -- that they would attempt to kill Sen. Obama," Cavanaugh said. "They didn't believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying."

 

wow.

thats fucked up.

 

yeah, it is fucked up.

but not surprising.

 

Whats 88 and 14 supposed to mean?

 

an here i thought this thread was about pavel...

 

I haven't been hearing about too much skinhead activity lately

I agree that its not surprising that this presidential election will entice them to do something symbolic

 

How old were the guys?

Hopefully like 15 or so.

All in all, this is all rather silly.

(off I go to Stormfront)

 

I don't kill minorities, they kill each other enough as it is.

 

I wonder if their plan was in crayon

 

so they were going to die trying to kill obama,,but they went into custody without incident???

makes perfect sense to me...

 

It does make it sound like they are awfully young

They must not have been every good at keeping things on the down low either

 

not surprising in that context, but also not surprising that human beings would want to do something so horrible to each other in general.

people are just pretty fucked up, and massacres aren't business as usual for most of us, but in the grand scheme of things they aren't unusual at all

 

qft

 

I don't see how this could possibly surprise you. Human beings have done things a billion times worse than this and continue to do so.

 

yeah thats what i was saying, that this wasn't surprising.

 

88, code for Heil Hitler. Again the number comes from the position of the letter H in the Latin alphabet

14, from the Fourteen Words coined by David Lane: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children."

They were 20 and 18 years old

Ahh.. Thanks.

 

Well, maybe they can intimidate them into giving away other skinheads who are planning similar acts.

At least they wouldn't have been able to pull it off, it ain't easy to take down that many black folk... at least one of them is gonna be packin'.

 

can't have a thread like this without posting
