White supremacist sentenced for plotting to blow up Jewish landmarks
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON
A mixed-race white supremacist was sentenced to almost 22 years in prison Wednesday for plotting to blow up black and Jewish landmarks in Boston and Washington.
Prosecutors accused Leo Felton, 31, and his girlfriend, Erica Chase, 22, of trying "to ignite a racial holy war ... that would promote chaos among the races."
Felton, son of a black father and white mother, has said he blames his parents for "contaminating" him with black blood.
"I've committed crimes here, I'm not trying to say I'm a good person or a nice guy," Felton said before sentencing. "But not every thing that has been attributed to me in these cases are understandable by these simplistic formulas."
Felton and Chase were convicted in July of charges including conspiring to make a bomb, conspiring to make counterfeit bills and obstruction of justice. He was sentenced to 21 years and 10 months in prison. Chase's sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 31.
The couple was arrested in April 2001 when an off-duty police officer spotted Chase passing a counterfeit $20 bill. Investigators said Felton was making the phony money to help fund their plan and had already gathered most of the materials to make a bomb, including a 22.5-kilogram bag of ammonium nitrate, the fertilizer used in the Oklahoma City bombing.
Defense lawyers maintained the couple were being prosecuted for their beliefs and never planned to carry out violent acts.
Felton was a member of the White Order of Thule, and Chase belonged to the World Church of the Creator. They met after Chase corresponded with Felton while he was in prison for the attempted murder of a black taxi driver.
Either that or barf until I Shiite. What a freak.
I was raised a Christian, but looking at dad's pictures wearing a Khafeya when he was a young man working in Saudi, I suspect there's a Hebrew in the woodpile. (Dad had pure German heritage...arab headress made him look like Sheik Yer Bootie. I'm talking PROUD semitic probiscus. Nice melanoma resistant pigmentation. BZZZT- survey says: Converso!)
Fine by me- wish I could have inherited a bit more of the smarts. Sweet Bouncing Buddha on a pogo stick- be glad of who came before you- they had what it takes to survive. I'd rather be a raggedy assed mutt than a hot-house HRH hemophiliac anyday.
Maybe if I had some Irish in me I'd handle my liquor better, and my posts would make more sense when I've had a few....(hic)
Yeah, they can handle the booze, they can drink the booze, but they are also the first to act on a drunken thought. JMHO
Who? I need a program.
maybe there's something my mom didn't tell me... *grin*
Perhaps mine, too. But there's a fine line between racial profiling and common sense. This must be stated, and known to be true.

I'm sure I forgot someone.
Genious? LOL! I know you meant genius, but by putting an IQ of 76 in the same sentence with "genious" had me ROFL. Bad place for a typo.
My wife and I did a IQ test online once and we got a 136, which means we have an IQ of 68, each.
But only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday and alternate weekends he's a black racist of the Nation of Islam.

That tears it! The next wake you go to will be your own.
It's inebriation, BTW.
