FBI officials arrested and charged former congressional candidate Robert R. Doggart in connection with a plot to kill residents and destroy the school and mosque of the Muslim village of Islamberg in Hancock....

The previously sealed criminal complaint filed in federal court on April 13th shows Doggart planned to commit mass murder using an M4 rifle, explosives, machete and snipers.

He warned that those who joined his team should prepare for hand-to-hand combat with any residents encountered in his pursuit....

“Doggart is an example of the results of unchecked and rampant Islamophobia which has spread lies for years about our peaceful community. This man plotted to mercilessly kill us, kill our children, and blow up our mosque and our school. All would agree, if a Muslim did this, the perpetrator would be immediately identified as a terrorist then prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The examples are numerous. Therefore, we call on all branches of justice to see to it that this man is prosecuted for planning a heinous hate crime and
terrorist act.”

6. Sez he's . . . . . "Independent".

Any more, I take that term the same way I take "non-partisan" . . . . with a giant grain of salt.
