Sounds fishy. I don’t tend to believe stories like this until more details are known.

“”These defendants, who are alleged to be part of a fringe militia group, are charged with planning attacks against their own fellow citizens and government,” U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said in a news release.”

Fringe militia group? Are these people named “Tom, John, Jack and Billy” or “Mohamed, Said, Fuad, and Bob?”

No mention of names, races, or ‘religious affiliation’ anywhere in the 2-paragraph article, although they did manage to work in the unsubstantiated allegation of ‘fringe militia group’....

(And, it’s ‘as reported by CNN’..)

Hmmmmmmmm....

Authorities said that, beginning in March, the men held clandestine militia meetings and discussed using toxic agents and assassinations in an effort to undermine federal and state government and advance their interests.

The four men taken into federal custody are: Frederick Thomas, 73, of Cleveland, and Toccoa residents Dan Roberts, 67; Ray H. Adams, 65; and Samuel J. Crump, 68.

“These defendants, who are alleged to be part of a fringe militia group, are charged with planning attacks against their own fellow citizens and government,” U.S. Attorney Sally Yates said. “To carry out their agenda, two of the defendants allegedly purchased purported explosives and a silencer, while the other two defendants took steps to attempt to produce a deadly biological toxin.”

Yes it could, but would be absolutely fatal to all spreading it from a move car.... as that story says they planned to do.

There is something very fishy about this story. Next we will hear that is is a tea party group and Cain was best friends with them all... in fact he may have made sexual movements towards them all.

“A government informant recorded the men discussing plans to manufacture ricin, a highly poisonous substance derived from castor beans, and attack Justice Department officials, federal judges and Internal Revenue Service agents, according to court papers released Tuesday afternoon.”

Sounds like a bunch of grumpy old fossils sitting on a
porch, chewing a plug and talking about “what should be done”
Do they own land that someone wants? Sounds like just
talking and no doing. Who knows?

Don’t tell that to the guys riding behind the car waiting for them to blow the moonshine out the window. Then THEY might kill you.

They were going to spread ricin from a moving car? Sounds like a plan for a very short road trip.
