Will Fox News cover this?
Three Rome men accused of conspiring to obtain explosives now face a much more serious domestic terrorism charge conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction.
Terry Eugene Peace, Brian Edward Cannon and Cory Robert Williamson on Monday waived arraignment and pleaded not guilty to the domestic terrorism charge as well as charges of conspiring to defraud the government.
Use of weapons of mass destruction can carry up to a life term in prison in this case, according to the law website Justia.com.
According to the indictment and criminal complaint:
Peace, Cannon and Williamson all members of a militia in Georgia participated in online chat discussions between Jan. 23 and Feb. 15, 2014, that were monitored by the FBI. During the conversations online, they discussed using guerilla war tactics and planned to launch attacks against a metro Atlanta police station and several government agencies in February 2014.

I've been reassured here constantly that the term "terrorism" is only applied to brown people. Shit, these guys didn't even kill anyone yet.
