Reply #54: I'm glad these guys were caught, but on reading the details this story is distinctly underwhelming. [View All]

There were only two skinheads and the plan, such as it was, was to 1) rob a gun store to get the weapons they would need, 2) shoot 88 people and behead another 14 at a predominantly African-American high school, and 3) somehow then kill Obama. That's it. That's their whole plan. How they would actually do any of this stuff hadn't been worked out. I don't think it's worth sweating over.

This story feels a lot like the Obama assassination story floated during the Democratic convention, which turned out to be three crystal meth addicts with a rifle and without a clue.
