MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – A man with connections to a white supremacy group was arrested in Myrtle Beach Wednesday after purchasing a gun from an undercover FBI agent, apparently intending to commit an attack “in the spirit of Dylann Roof.”

Benjamin Thomas Samuel McDowell, 29, from Conway, was arrested at around 5 p.m. Wednesday by the FBI, according to records from the J. Reuben Long Detention Center.

On December 26, 2016, McDowell posted to Facebook a message: “I love love to act what u think,” followed by a link to the Temple Emanu-El Conservative Synagogue in Myrtle Beach, according to court documents. Horry County Police indicated to the FBI that McDowell had established White Supremacy Extremist connections while serving in prison in South Carolina for various criminal offenses. He also had tattoos indicating an affiliation with these groups.

Can’t these fringe kooks keep it under wraps for a while? This is the LAST thing we need right now.

Of course, it would’ve been worse had he gone through with it.

He looks like a real winner. /s

Refreshing honesty from his mother, who was quoted as saying she knew he was guilty but hoped people wouldn’t judge her and the family, that they had tried and failed.

Tens of thousands of crazy leftists threaten violence, and actually practice it, and the FBI shrugs.

One “conservative” kook threatens violence, and the FBI arrests him.

Justice, FBI style.

The Feds need to kill Nidal Hasa, Dylann Root. And all other pos race murders ASAP. The deterrent effect of the death penalty doesn’t work if it’s decades after the deed. Trump needs to champion this form of punishment.

You have a great point. However, I don’t get these nut cases. If you want to confront the left, then go to one of their violent riots with some pepper spray or baseball bats. Instead these scum on both sides want to pick some target like a church group with 80 year old members that have nothing to do with anything.

Ah well. It’s all spiritual. They serve the same master.
