It is a shame that people have to bear the blunt of idiots who deliberately do everything to make others uncomfortable. We rely heavily upon our institutions of government to seek out the truth whereas hate groups and evil-doers rely upon hate.
Whoever is responsible for these acts will be apprehended and punished…AND, DESERVINGLY SO!

How is it that he didn’t mess around and poison himself? that would have been some poetic justice.

Since this was a case of domestic terrorism. The FBI was all over on this one. Its certainly a cause for alarm. But sadly Arizona has a pathetic history of being soft on neo-Nazism/white supremacy.

Not that I disbeleive it, but the article doesn’t say how they know it was a racially motivated attack.
And how do they know how to make the stuff, anyway? Probably trained by the military. But chemical weapons are notoriously unreliable when homemade.

This is domestic terrorism, pure and simple. Al Quaeda in overalls.
The Justice Department report was correct – reich wingnut extremists ARE the most dangerous domestic terrorism threat in the US.
And you’ll notice who objected to that report…the Reich Wingnuts in the media and the Republicans.
Crooked Bush Attorney General Alberto “VO5″ Gonzalez once completely ignored the highly organized, heavily armed Reich Wingnuts, to claim that eco-freaks who burned a few Hummers we the nation’s worst domestic terrorism risk.
He looked the other way because Reich Wingnut extremists are the Republican Party’s BASE.

Snorlax…. I disagree……
Farrahkan and all the different black theology and splinter groups are actrually building black armies to go up agains the Devil. The devil who is to your right to your left and all around you. This devil they speak of they name The White Race. All white people. Women, Child too. Then after the genocide of the whites in America it is to be extended all over Europe. Europe exsperienced the terror before the USA has. Google something like Muslim protest and then type Amsterdam, or Hawaii, Or England, Or Germany continue as the only safe place left is Antartica. Then seek out the many more hate groups in the USA like Black Thology. Learn about Farrahkan, Learn about the KKK there are so many out there so to say one is the worst. I disagree

The Article does not exsplain why this was an act of a hate crime. The FBI etc would be called in due to the nature of the inncident as being a type of chemical bomb. Remember how the whole of the military and white conservative patriots. People who agree with much of the Constitution and Veterans have been deeemed the domestic terrorist. I think this was mostly based on the fact that McVeigh’s act of dommestic harm in Oklahoma Bombings. But look deepers and the majority of the people on the domestic terror lsit are indeed considered white affluent Christians etc. What would the opposite be? Then that is who had the influence to place them on high watch me list.. Chilling how Domestic Terrorist has been decided. There ar eplenty of Dommestic Terroist right here int he Good Old USA and they aren’t all falling into that catagory. But I can see how they tied every body on the list to one man McVeigh? NOT! The kids who are in their early teens can indeed make these types of checmical bombs. Then against anyone ccould to be able to point the constant hate towards a certain group. It’s done all the time. Since when do we average citizens get the real deal of an event,inncident.. hmmmm ???

I am in total agreement on the notion that white supremacists are among(then if not) the worst domestic terrorists operating inside the U.S. Given the rise in the number of attacks perpetrated on law enforcement and American citizens alike. I have yet to hear reports that the Black Panthers and/or Farrahkan have unleashed domestic terrorism on anyone. Even if there is 1 or 2 isolated reports in the past 5 years or so, its very minimal as opposed to the number of attacks by the WN extremists. One cannot dispute this analogy. So if one is implying that “Antartica is safer”, then I hope that person moves straight to Antartica for that matter.
The “Constitution and Veterans” have nothing to do with the connotations of WN activity or the insidious anomaly that comes with it. Because WNs are a separate criminal element, not associated with the general conservative movement. As I am a former conservative myself. There is nothing remotely “Christian” about the WN fringe movement. And many true Christians detest these violent acts severely. As they want nothing to do with the white power movement.
