White militia charged with terrorism in Georgia for planning to kill police

[uhnope]

ROME, Ga., Jan. 8 (UPI) -- Three male members of a militia in Rome, Ga., have been charged with conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction, a domestic terrorism charge.

The three men were being monitored by the FBI in an online chat room where they discussed launching attacks at an Atlanta police station and other government agencies. The charge could carry a life-in-prison sentence. They also face charges of conspiring to defraud the government.

The men traveled to Tennessee in Feb. 2014 and met with an undercover FBI agent to discuss acquiring several explosive devices. The men were arrested the following day after obtaining inactive explosive devices.

The FBI defines domestic terrorism as activities within the U.S. that involve acts dangerous to human life intended to intimidate or coerce civilians and acts to influence, coerce or affect the conduct of government through mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping.

1. Domestic terrorism? White guys? Never have I heard such an abuse of the term.....are folks blind?

White folks are never terrorists, they are "extremists".

3. They are 'lone wolves'. They are 'anomalies'.

Not worthy of investigating at all. To do so would insult all white guys. How dare we spend taxpayer money studying the problem.

6. White folks are never terrorists, they are "extremists".

Right..."lone wolves"...anti government activists, etc.

9. Like the Christian lone wolf of Norway who killed 77 children....who demanded Churches apologize for him?

The quiet from the "they said they were Muslims, so they must be Muslims" crowd is deafening.

2. Right wingers and many in the gun crowd will say these "fine men were set up by the government."

Just like they took the side of the Bundy Ranch Militiamen, Border Klan sniping for immigrants, Randy Weaver, David Koresh, etc.

7. Q. When does a armed militia group equal a terror cell?

A. When the people running around in the woods with bombs and full auto assault rifles have brown or black skin!

10. There are no white "sleeper" terrorist cells in America because they are already all awake.

11. Wow, I'm totally shocked!!

Georgia cracking down on crazy home brewed white terrorists, who would have thought it possible? After all, they are white and not Muslims, how could they possibly be terrorists?

Seriously, I'll take sanity whereever I can find it. Too bad the same logic wasn't used with the Cliven Bundy gangs.
