Self-proclaimed white nationalist planned mass terror attack, targeting liberal politicians , msm

[octoberlib]

A U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant and self-identified white nationalist has been arrested after federal investigators uncovered a cache of weapons and ammunition in his Maryland home that authorities say he stockpiled to launch a massive domestic terror attack targeting politicians and journalists.

Christopher Paul Hasson called for “focused violence” to “establish a white homeland” and dreamed of ways to “kill almost every last person on earth,” according to court records filed in U.S. District Court in Maryland. Though court documents do not detail a specific planned date for an attack, the government said he had been amassing supplies and weapons since at least 2017, developed a spreadsheet of targets that included House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and searched the Internet using phrases such as “best place in dc to see congress people” and “are supreme court justices protected.”

. In recent weeks, Hasson developed a spreadsheet of targets that included top Democratic congressional leaders and media personalities. The list includes “JOEY,” what prosecutors say is a reference to former senator Joe Scarborough of MSNBC; “cortez,” an alleged reference to freshman U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York); and “Sen blumen jew” presumably is U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.)

“The defendant intends to murder innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country,” the government said in court documents filed this week, arguing that Hasson should stay in jail awaiting trial.Hasson, of Silver Spring, is expected to appear before a judge for a detention hearing in federal court in Greenbelt at 1 p.m. Thursday.

1. Does that really count as terrorism? After all, he's a white American.

4. He was fine people and apparently a Trump supporter, of course

The spreadsheet was created two days after he conducted a series of internet inquiries:

8:54 a.m.: “what if trump illegally impeached”

8:57 a.m.: “best place in dc to see congress people”

8:58 a.m.: “where in dc to congress live”

10:39 a.m.: “civil war if trump impeached”

11:26 a.m.: “social democrats usa”

8. JoeScum was never a Senator

He was a member of the HOR.

These scumbags aren't just white nationalists - they hate Democrats. They are fucking ReTHUGs

9. I missed that. You're right. I bet RBG was on that list, too.

11. Correct

They are looking for war most importantly.

10. Truly scary in so many ways

First the extent of what he was planning, the fact that he is an officer in our military with these views and these plans, and finally, of course that he was targeting tRump's "enemies" and that no repub will hold our POS prez or themsleves accountable for their words and actions that lead nutjobs to do these things.

12. Never forget Knoxville!!

These things have been happening even before Trump.

SPLC says "the number of white nationalist groups, those particularly electrified by Trump’s presidency, surged by almost 50 percent – from 100 groups to 148 – in 2018."

16. If you're waiting for Trump to comment on Mr. Hasson

I do not recommend holding your breath.

17. Chris Hayes pointed out on Twitter that the DOJ usually does a press release on these things

since they were involved. Crickets.
