Feds Indict White Supremacists in Arizona Bombing
One of two brothers indicted this week in connection with the bombing of a Scottsdale, Ariz., diversity office was a former Klansman and leading skinhead recruiter with a predilection for explosives.

As part of a sweeping undercover investigation that led to the indictment, federal agents also raided the Indiana home of longtime white separatist Tom Metzger on Thursday, removing computers and other items, but not arresting him.

In another related move, a man described as a white supremacist with expertise in weapons and the making of napalm was arrested on his rural property in Missouri and charged with being a felon in possession of firearms.

Dennis Mahon, 58, and his twin brother, Daniel, were arrested Thursday following the search of a home in Davis Junction, Ill. A federal grand jury indictment in Arizona charges them with conspiring to damage and destroy buildings and property. “The object of the conspiracy was to promote racial discord on behalf of the ‘White Aryan Resistance,’” the indictment states. WAR is a white supremacist organization founded by Metzger more than a quarter century ago.

1. This is a good start. Recommend.
Mahon said "We put heads in the road" referring to terrorism in Tulsa in the 80's. What the hell was that about? Is that true? Or is it some kind of perverse expression?

4. Well, now we've put "assholes in the jail."
Amen. Amazing how this administration can get something done. Unlike the last one: "The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight."

3. Good, but I worry about the ones who can manage to stay undercover
These guys were the 'Klan'. What about the 'White Citizens Council' types who are higher up on the food chain?

5. They all live within a 50 mile radius of my house.
I swear, I've never seen so many country bumpkins with their asses sitting up on their shoulders. Every white guy in a 50 mile radius of my rural country home is ready to bring down the government. They listen to Fox news when they're at home, and Rush Limpballs types on the radio when they're out and about. They're really freaking me out.

6. Kick this.
Also call for a complete investigation of domestic terrorists involved in the OKC bombing. Take their guns away from these hate filled bastards and watch them cry like little girls.
