Man pleads guilty in plot to attack churches, start race war

Feb. 5, 2016 6:03 PM EST

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A Virginia man charged with plotting to shoot up or bomb synagogues and black churches has pleaded guilty to conspiracy and firearms charges.

Thirty-four-year-old Robert C. Doyle entered the pleas Friday in federal court in Richmond, NBC12 reports (http://bit.ly/1KvqG6d).

Prosecutors say Doyle and a conspirator are white supremacists who bought guns and explosives from undercover agents. Authorities say they planned to rob a Richmond-area silver and coin dealer and use the money to finance a race war.

Sentencing is set for May 2.

I though they were all about working hard, pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, and not taking what they have from someone else.

I'm shocked.

This is my shocked face: -------->

Just look at the black supremacists (and yes, there are a few,) out there.

I don't know of any who have plotted or carried out violence, but they are just as stupid.

13. You bet. It may have something to do with the complete context.

They can't contain themselves, start bouncing off walls, apparently, if they can't do something to cause others to suffer, or have greater fear pounded into their lives.

And we DO know the people who tend to harm churches have almost always been white.

I think that racists can only find release so long as trolls on the internet before they have to make their mark in the physical world, and safely harm some flesh and blood people.

Good comment. Much appreciated.
