    This is as serious as it gets. The WN movement must be taken very seriously. I don’t see how anyone with a rational mindset could simply ignore and brush this off as an isolated incident, since LEA’s are raiding white supremacist hideouts, they always turn up evidence of McVeigh style domestic terrorism:

    “Rocket launcher, explosives, machine guns, military battlefield illuminator”

    And of course–

    “White supremacist materials.”

    This is calling for war on the United States and the American people. You can’t get any more un-American than that. Its time to defend this country from the grave and dire threats of white supremacy.

    Looks like these two IDIOTS needed watching a long time ago. Those weapons weren’t “guns for protection purposes.” Lock them up and throw away the keys.

    Gee, they didn’t list an intelligence manual of any kind.
    That “hair standing up on the back of their necks” feeling was misattributed to dope, and not the police.

    Looks like Reich Wingnuts have found a new way to finance their operations…

    This bunch is charged with “…unlawful use of a weapon, armed violence, possession of marijuana and cocaine with intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia”

    “About 400 grams of marijuana, 1 1/2 ounces of cocaine and about $1,000 were found…”

    We’re looking ar $4000 of weed and $7000 for the blow, roughly estimated.

    That’ll buy a lot of bullets…or get a lot of skinheads really really REALLY f**ked up.

    “a Marine  rocket launcher with ammunition”

    That’s not a throwaway LAWS rocket. That’s some serious ordnance, probably crew-served.

    The Klan Nazis have antitank weapons now.

    Things could get weird.

    Very weird.
