ALBANY, N.Y. —A Ku Klux Klan member conspired to use a remote-controlled X-ray device hidden in a truck, which he called “Hiroshima on a light switch,” as a weapon of mass destruction to harm Muslims and President Barack Obama, a prosecutor told jurors on Monday.
But a lawyer for Glendon Scott Crawford at the start of his trial said that government undercover agents dragged him further into the plot to build what media dubbed the “death ray” machine after he tried to pull away in the initial stages, when he had no more than “a piece of paper” sketching out his ideas.
In opening arguments at US District Court in Albany, New York, a lawyer for Crawford, 51, of Galway, New York, said the device would have never been built if not for the government supplying the necessary components via “criminal” sources.

Wait a minute! The KKK in liberal New York? But the press tells me all the racists live down south since they don’t consistently vote democrat.

Yup...
Drink! {{Hic}}
There was a wicked racist joke about this machine, except you put people in it by the dozens, and it vaporized them. George Wallace was demonstrating it for Lester Maddox. But I’d better not tell it.
...but the game was always cooked too well done.
You mean the goose?
Countdown to Secret Service knock on door, They say that like it's a bad thing
Apparently there is one. This guy.
And he’s from NEW YORK!
Answers need to be demanded from Cuomo, Schumer, Gillibrand etc about why they haven’t been able to stop Klan organizing in their state. Maybe because they don’t want to?
;-)
Are they using juries to select Medal of Honor recipients these days?

I spent a wasted 18 months of my time managing an X ray source )for semiconductor processing) project. Tricky stuff to project more than a few centimeters in air with significant power to accomplish much actually activity at the receiving end.
Mad magazine had them figured out decades ago.

Unless you ionize the path with a laser...
Yea the added energy would of defeated the purpose of the X rays. Ultimately wound up with the entire machine operating inside a vacuum chamber. Not practical.
Hard to get your muzzies into that vacuum chamber, I suppose... :o)
Did he name it “Planned Parenthood”?
Penny: Has Shelly ever freaked out like this before.
Mrs Cooper: Oh, all the time, I remember one summer when he was thirteen, he built a small nuclear reactor in the shed and told everybody he was going to provide free electricity for the whole town, well the only problem was he had no, whatchacall, fissionable materials. Anyway, when he went on the internets to get some, a man from the government came by and sat him down real gentle and told him it’s against the law to have yellow cake uranium in a shed.
Penny: What happened?
Mrs Cooper: Well, the poor boy had a fit, locked himself in his room and built a sonic death ray.
Leonard: A death ray?
Mrs Cooper: Well, that’s what he called it, didn’t even slow down the neighbour kids. It pissed our dog off to no end. You know, you two make a cute couple.
Maybe the jury will vote to have racist rocket scientist fried by hos own gizmo.
DRINK!
Cue “Twilight Zone” theme.
Mrs. Cooper is a hoot!
Lol yeah they did.
