Seamus Hughes of the George Washington Program on Extremism tweeted Wednesday that a U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant was arrested on drugs and weapons charges. He noted that it seemed like an everyday event until court documents were published.

Christopher Paul Hasson was reportedly in contact with white supremacists and was developing a “hit list” of liberal senators he was aiming to attack.

5. In his letter to a white supremist he wrote that he

is close to retirement (30 year mandatory?).
"I have served in 3 branches currently serving as an Officer (never attended college) with 2 years till (sic) I hit mandatory retirement at 30…"

“Empire” actor Jussie Smollett is now considered a suspect

15. Did he act alone?

Hard to believe he did this alone. Did friends or family help?

16. There are a lot of these genocidal racists out there

I have heard racist "jokes", hatred and abusive behavior since I was in Elementary School. In second grade a classmate showed me how to make a noose. Second fucking grade. I thought it was an interesting knot and copied it. Now, it is becoming clearer that this is a significant portion of America. Doesn't matter what state you live in, you don't have to look far. Look at Klan enrollment in your state, particularly around 1920.

The question is, are we going to stand behind, and expand as needed, "hate crime" laws and aggressive prosecution for those such as this Coast Guard lieutenant? It will be our challenge, as it is with other countries, who at this moment in history are going through the same nationalism, race purity, religious purity bullshit. It's everywhere around the globe, and people like Bannon, LePen and thousands (millions?) of others want open war and are being funded by like-mined money-vendors. This Coast Guard asshole just got caught being brazen and stupid enough to leave a slime trail.

17. Is this the same POS who targeted Chris Hayes and other journalists?

I feel like this is an illustration of what we are up against. We will all soon fall in love with a candidate in the primary and talk about how others are not as great for the job as their preferred candidate. Remember that these white nationalists don't care about the differences between us and want blood. Heather Heyer wasn't enough for them. Stay strong and keep focused my fellow Americans.

18. More Trump inspired terrorism.

19. Coast Guard recruiting

needs to work better on who they allow in. I have my own personal story with this branch, but they believe their own BS too much and they need more women and black members.

Could tell stories about the coast guard, but if you know any women or people of color,who want to serve, do you homework.
