Curtis Allen, Gavin Wright and Patrick Eugene Stein face federal charges of conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction, the Justice Department announced.
“These charges are based on eight months of investigation by the FBI that is alleged to have taken the investigators deep into a hidden culture of hatred and violence,” acting U.S. attorney Tom Beall said in a statement. “Many Kansans may find it as startling as I do that such things could happen here.”
According to the FBI complaint made public Friday, the investigation was prompted by a paid confidential informant who had attended meetings with a group of individuals calling themselves “the Crusaders” and had heard plans discussed for attacks on Muslims, whom the men called “cockroaches.”

Yes, this will surely get the desired result and won't further fan the fires of hatred and distrust.

This is what Trump's hateful rhetoric breeds, & why words matter when you're the potential or actual President.

Oh shut up already. Hillary takes money from Qatar who pays Isis salaries.

Right, we should definitely ignore one sides bigotry inciting violence just because the other side is doing something that incites 1/2
ludwigsholyblade

When you take money from a country that has no women's rights, yet tell America your for women. It's another lie to American people.
ludwigsholyblade
You're right about Clinton being a hypocrite but that doesn't justify being a hypocrite yourself. My point is negative facts about a 1/2

Candidate shouldn't be put under the rug just because the other has some bad things going for them too.

God damn Christian terrorists.

Serious question, can you be a terrorist without actually have done the act of terrorism? Cause it sounds like they were all talk.

More F'ed up, they have to be part of a terrorist organization to be considered a terrorist, that's why Roof isn't considered one legally

Ah. I must have missed the part in the handbook that says you need to apply for a 501(c)(3), and have some stationery printed up first.

To be fair, they technically didn't commit any acts of terror. They are wannabe terrorists.
bloatedplutocrat
Really? "Terrorism: the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims." "The individuals said they wanted to 1/2

“wake people up” and inspire other militia groups to act."
BustedTuna
Or technically so, but not other technically so.
BustedTuna
But they were stopped before they could do what they wanted. They're basically terrorists, but not technically so.
bloatedplutocrat
Yes. I'm sure no muslims in Kansas are afraid now that people like this exist.
