Someone tried to kill obama!

Nothings been confirmed yet but a man was arrested near the democratic convention, he had rifles, ammo and drugs.

Detective Marcus Dudley, of Aurora Police Department, said: "The sergeant discovered inside his truck a bullet-proof vest, two rifles, ammunition, walkie-talkies and drugs."

Police alerted federal authorities, who used additional information to arrest Nathan Johnson, 32, in Aurora.

A third man, Shawn Robert Adolf, 33, was arrested at an Aurora hotel.

Police said that when they knocked on the door of the hotel room, he jumped out of a sixth-floor window, landed on an awning and ran off.

Officers later found him with a broken ankle.

Officials with the FBI, Secret Service, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and Aurora police are to hold a news conference later.

the reports i read said four had been arrested,

with one of the men wearing a nazi swastika, figures.

also, it said they had planned to assassinate barack with a high-powered rifle on national television during his outdoor acceptance speech at invesco field on thursday night.

Think I found the article

when police searched his rented truck, they found two high-powered rifles, including one with a telescopic sight, a bulletproof vest, camouflage clothing, boxes of ammunition, walkie-talkie radios, licenses in the names of other people and methamphetamine.

A few hours later, authorities went to a hotel in Denver where an associate of Gartrell, Nathan Johnson, 32, was held. A third man, Shawn Robert Adolf, was located at a hotel in Aurora but jumped out of a sixth floor hotel window, breaking his ankle. He was found a few blocks away and subsequently arrested.

Adolf was reportedly wearing a ring with a swastika and is thought to have ties to white supremacist organisations. A woman, believed to be the girlfriend of one of the men, is also being held.

According to local television reports, one of the suspects "was directly asked if they had come to Denver to kill Obama. He responded in the affirmative." It was also claimed one of the suspects told authorities they were going to "shoot Obama from a high vantage point using a....rifle sighted at 750 yards".

Stay safe, Barack.

Whilst they were probably very serrious in their intent to kill Obama they were idiots, taking drugs probably wasnt the greatest idea in the world.

eskimokiss on Aug 26 '08 at 6:58am

I'm not sure what you guys are on about, as i'm too lazy to read this blog (and don't know why i came in here) but apparently there's an election on in America or somewhere close by.

radiostaticstar on Aug 26 '08 at 7:00am

yeah, they're having a little coffee clatch in denver for the next few days.

stubby43 on Aug 26 '08 at 9:18am

I heard it was a party.

I didn't read anything in here but apparently there were three men and one lady

I read this as three men and a baby, which made me laugh out loud

mezo on Aug 26 '08 at 9:23am

It might be sad, but its totally not surprising that the first minority to be so close to the presidency has some whites up in arms.

(matthijs) on Aug 26 '08 at 9:26am

and why am I not surprised one of them is called Adolf...

radiostaticstar on Aug 26 '08 at 9:29am

yeah, seriously.

i just wonder if they're from my neck of the woods...

deboraborialis on Aug 26 '08 at 9:29am

I can understand the rest of it, but why would they need drugs?

Me too!

But I'm disappointed in people.

Tess Fondie on Aug 26 '08 at 9:34am

I'm hating everything about the DNC, whoever fucking signed it to be here should get punched in the face by everyone in colorado.

Not only that, but there are 8 known terrorists in the area- my mom doesn't even want me going to work or school.

And the stupid fucking protestors are getting retarded. Yesterday my step father had to gear up in pretty much swat gear becaues they were getting attacked so hard core. They are bum rushing them and using any means to knock the living shit out of a cop.

Because giving the DNC more news coverage by beating up cops is REALLY fucking helping out their cause.

professorE on Aug 26 '08 at 9:37am

Debora -

There was a very intense shootout in Hollywood a few years ago where two bank robbery suspects were high on meth and it helped them deal with the pain of being shot multiple times and continue fighting police.

Plus, the drugs probably had something to do with the inception of this plan, also...

Tess Fondie on Aug 26 '08 at 9:39am

Also:

radiostaticstar on Aug 26 '08 at 9:42am

most of the coverage i've seen of the dnc have roundly dismissed the protesters and have given them very little screentime.

admittedly i'm surprised the neo-nazis haven't jumped at the opportunity to show some force.

as for it being held in colorado, that's all because they wanted to have it in the backyard of republicans.

radiostaticstar on Aug 26 '08 at 9:42am

ahahahaha!

mezo on Aug 26 '08 at 9:44am

Bringing Obama into Colorado is asking for trouble when you consider there are like 6 black folks who've ever lived there.

Tess Fondie on Aug 26 '08 at 9:45am

Its all over the news and radios here, form what i seen... then again i try to avoid it, and most of what i see is passing my mom reading about it or watching it getting all worried about my step dad.

Simpletinrobot on Aug 26 '08 at 9:46am

Let's not miss the fact that:

"Police said that when they knocked on the door of the hotel room, he jumped out of a sixth-floor window, landed on an awning and ran off."

I'm concerned for Obama's safety even more now that it seems it's not just drugged up nazi lunatics, but drugged up nazi lunatic stuntmen

radiostaticstar on Aug 26 '08 at 9:47am

yeah it's gotta suck to be on the enforcement side of all that.

all they've been talking about is the nutjobs, who, they've just said were high on meth...

Tess Fondie on Aug 26 '08 at 9:55am

was radio the only one who recognized my vanilla ice comparison?

meth is the new black apparently

deboraborialis on Aug 26 '08 at 10:13am

I wonder if they specifically asked for a room above the awning?

I can see how drugs would help with pain, but they must dull the thinking too. Maybe that's a good thing.

cassiepaige on Aug 26 '08 at 10:16am

Man that sucks. It is sad to think though how many times this may happen if Obama is elected. We talked about it a lot in my Civics class.

I really hope nothing happens and hopefully they will cancel his speech being outside.

professorE on Aug 26 '08 at 10:16am

I would think if they had the foresight to know they might have to jump, they would also ask for a room on a lower floor.

radiostaticstar on Aug 26 '08 at 10:23am

by cancelling the outdoor speech, the terrorists win...

Ian Leino on Aug 26 '08 at 10:39am

the Vanilla Ice comparison is spot on, Tess - when I saw the original picture, I had to look twice to be sure it wasn't him. Now THAT would have been a story

maddingo on Aug 26 '08 at 3:17pm

the city of Denver is 10~% black btw...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denver,_Colorado#Demographics

meh.

maddingo on Aug 26 '08 at 3:20pm

also twitchy meth heads planning to try to shoot from 750yards (i think that is what I heard about their plan).... not exactly crackerjack plan actually.

it is not trivial to hit anything from that range let alone if you are a twitchy meth head.

stubby43 on Aug 26 '08 at 3:46pm

They also had a scope so I'm guessing that makes it easier?

I dont really know anything about guns other than I have terrible aim.

Captain Heironymous J. Obvious on Aug 26 '08 at 3:48pm

Well if I'm not mistaken, this Osama fellow sounds like a terrorist!

maddingo on Aug 26 '08 at 4:30pm

of course they had a sccope stubs a scope makes a 750yd shot feasible (assume you have skillz) vs impossible (or a lucky fucking fluke if you hit something)

shirtflirt on Aug 26 '08 at 4:34pm

neo nazi's?

obama should just offer up a bare fisted duel to these whack ass crackers.

stubby43 on Aug 26 '08 at 4:34pm

The most powerful rifle I've ever shot is a 22.

shirtflirt on Aug 26 '08 at 4:36pm

these white people give us white people a bad name

stubby43 on Aug 26 '08 at 4:39pm

Well you know neo nazi's tend to do that, I'm actually quite shocked at how racist america still is.

NomadSlim on Aug 26 '08 at 4:39pm

Tess and Ian, the first thing I thought when I read this was "really, Vanilla Ice is behind this?"

Thanks for those pics.

Also, stubby, you might want to spell "assination" - "assassination"

phones on Aug 26 '08 at 4:42pm

erm....every time i see the blog title i think that sonmi had something to do with it

gtoast99 on Aug 26 '08 at 4:46pm

Via the AP, Denver police say the men were "no credible threat." Just some idiot drug addicts who are about to get what's coming to them in a federal PMITA prison.

Also, for pics from inside last night's anarchist "riot", the one Tess's pop had to suit up to put a stop to:

link,

with some good pics

Is your dad in any of them?

shirtflirt on Aug 26 '08 at 4:52pm

recreate 68?

yeah, let's keep living in the past. even the anarchists are out of ideas.

this is sad. we're like a bunch of scared animals running face first into mirrors reflecting freedom and hiding the truth that everyhthings controlled.

radiostaticstar on Aug 26 '08 at 5:03pm

yeah, i was thinking the same shirt,

anarchists are really losing their edge these days.

i bet it was a spy for some republican party front group that infiltrated the anarchists and egged on the "Recreate 68" name. just like the nra had a spy that went undercover into some anti-gun groups...

shirtflirt on Aug 26 '08 at 5:06pm

the dmc in 1968 was full of activists, poets, writers, anarchists, lefties, anti establishment types of all kinds....this silly 'celebration' of anarchists was nothing more than an ego stroke for disenfranchised tools.

radiostaticstar on Aug 26 '08 at 5:09pm

and it couldn't make pat buchanan's woody any harder...

shirtflirt on Aug 26 '08 at 5:10pm

hahaha

d3d on Aug 26 '08 at 5:29pm

i'm going to enjoy the impotent rage of xenophobic hillbillies at first, but then there's going to be some kind of horrible hate crime commited somewhere and all the fun will go out of it.

maddingo on Aug 26 '08 at 6:13pm

I'm actually quite shocked at how racist america still is.

I'm for my part having traveled thru the south and lived in Texas as a kid.... Surprised at how racist we are not in a reasonable short period of time

not that it aint still around but so much progress in such a short period of time amazing really

shirtflirt on Aug 26 '08 at 6:21pm

i'm not sure "how racist" we are anymore. sure, there's no segregation or shit like that going on. but when stuff like this happens obviously there's still resentment.

then i read about the poorer sections of France where people are extremely racist.

and otehr countries as well so, sure, american's suffer from old thinking but it's relative to the rest of the world i'd say.
