How come the Denver threat to Obama wasn't "credible?" What would it

Edited on Tue Aug-26-08 09:45 AM by Peregrine Took

take to BE "credible" to the Denver authorities?

I'm no expert but it sounded like they had all the stuff that would be necessary to pull off their foul deed.

Even meth head losers could be dangerous.

Imagine if it happened to McCrusty or one of them rethugs...

1. I found the report that the FBI and Denver authorities ...

did not find it to be a "credible threat" astonishing! The two guys that were arrested later said the guy driving the car said he was there to kill Obama!

WTF?

2. "two high-powered scoped rifles, ammunition, sighting scopes, radios, a cellphone, a bulletproof

vest, wigs, drugs and fake IDs." and a video of one of these scumbags......... sounds pretty crediable to me.

3. It's doubtful they could penetrate security. Nonetheless, they're certainly

dangerous. It's not hard to imagine them shooting people at random.

6. Hell, no! And here is the answer:

It will only become a credible threat with a dead candidate. And that will be coming. Stop living with the Care Bears and wake up to reality. There are only two kinds of people involved in such cases: donut-eating slackers and dedicated, fanatical assassins. The rest of us are the audience, and some of us have seen this particular tragedy played out dozens of times before.

8. Only credible if it meets the following criteria:

1) Target is Republican.
2) Suspect is a person of color or other ethnic group.

9. I think the amount of Meth found along side those rifles...

These guys had meth on them (and possibly in them)... so I think they were high, decided to cook up a plot (along with some meth) to kill Obama and grabbed a couple of rifles and headed out to Denver.

It doesn't seem like the plot was very well organzied or thought out, and the 3 guys weren't exactly put together enough, or had enough skills to actually pull it off.
