Another idiot with delusions of grandeur. Another great leader and advocate for the “white race.”

What’s depressing is that he had followers…there were people who believed in him. That’s sad and scary.

These charges were filed 5 years ago and the conspiracy dated back to 2001. He probably has spent the last decade in state or federal custody (and i wonder if the state murder charges will come back now that he is presumably sane).

Chances are this guy will spend the rest of his life in prison or a mental health hospital (some of which could be worse than prisons).

Meanwhile in other federal justice news and for your entertainment of just how nutty the Obama Deranagement Syndrome is among the right, apparently the DOJ is only going after that crazy beard cutter Amish sect leader Samuel Mullet because they are hostile to religion. At least according to former Assistant U.S. Attorney, Bush Administration official, current adjunct law professor at Georgetown,* and passive aggressive DARVO practicioner Bill Otis . http://sentencing.typepad.com/.....igion.html

* this is what makes Mr. Otis’s claim so revealing on just how entrenched ODS is on the right – this isn’t some uneducated wacko conspiracy nut saying this sort of stuff, this is a Stanford Law School graduate who has been a highly successful (and very smart) attorney saying something this compltely insane.

He directed his son to plant the bomb next to the Johnson County sheriff’s office if he (the elder, or senior Junior) was ever arrested? Uh — wouldn’t he be AT the sheriff’s office, getting booked and placed in a jail cell, at least initially, after his arrest? That doesn’t seem particularly smart.

I am glad they finally convicted him, though. Another loose cannon temporarily rolled off of the battlefield!
