"A father and son were charged with felonies late Thursday after a raid of their home Wednesday night netted a cache of weapons, explosives, Nazi paraphernalia, manuals and chemicals to make explosives, drugs and cash, Antioch police said."

1. that's only 2 hours away. Glad they caught them.

That's one heap 'o weaponry. Yikes.

2. Another Nest Of 'Tea-Baggers' Rumbled, Sir....

3. A rocket launcher from the Marines?! Are you kidding me?

Damn. Good thing they were probably too stoned to do anything drastic with that thing.

[Pangolin2]

5. Nobody told 'em they'd have to have some rockets to go with it

:rofl: :rofl:

7. Actually it says they have the ammo too...

But then again, last story I saw like this it was a WWII era launcher, a museum piece.

[derby378]

8. According to the story, it looks like they had some

All in all, it's good that they were caught before it was too late.

[Pangolin2]

14. I just figured (knowing how the M$M reports this stuff) they had an old Bazooka

maybe the cops will post a picture...presumably including the 400 grams (4 million dollars worth) of wacky weed.
:D

[TxRider]

23. Could be

Last time I saw a story like that it turned out to be an old PIAT.

4. LOL! These goobers put Saddam Hussein to shame

"Police said they confiscated about 25 firearms, including two submachine guns and an assault rifle; a Marine rocket launcher with ammunition; TNT; gunpowder; chemicals used to make explosives and detonating devices; tear gas; brass knuckles; a battlefield illuminator used by military helicopters at night; several baseball bats, including one with spikes all over it; knives; machetes; multiple manuals about making explosives, land mines, silencers and improvised munitions.

About 400 grams of marijuana, 11/2 ounces of cocaine and about $1,000 were found in the home, police said."

10. I wonder where they got most of that stuff from.

Particularly the submachine guns, the rifle, and the rocket launcher. You can get TNT for industrial purposes, same for some of the other stuff, and the manuals are probably shit that even I've downloaded off the internet. But assuming that they're correctly describing the weaponry (Not always a good bet where the media is concerned), those probably were stolen from the military.

[Ghost in the Machine]

13. The rocket launcher was probably stolen in Iraq or Afghanistan... or possibly from Desert Storm 1...

The Aryan Brotherhood has a lot of members infiltrated into the military. Some are there for the combat and/or weapons handling training, others for logistics training and some are there just to steal what they can. Some cells within the AB are *very* well organized and have intense militant training.

Back during Desert Storm weapons and ordnance were smuggled out in body bags. There's quite an underground network of white sumpremacists, as well as other gangs, operating within the Military structure. A lot of weapons go "missing" in combat operations. They get smuggled back home by enlisted gang members and are either sold, traded for drugs or distributed among the gang members.

19. Most likely it was recently stolen, I would think.

The military has had to reduce the amount of screening it gives to possible new inductees to continue fulfilling it's recruiting goals.

[TxRider]

6. Damn...

That's a heap o weapons even by Texas standards...

Glad they got these guys, just from the listed items they have to be pretty unstable and dangerous people/

[dgibby]

9. "There is indication that they were white supremacists,"

No shit! Talk about the understatement of the year!

[TxRider]

11. Yeah the swastika tatoo on the forehead might just be a clue.. ;)

[aikoaiko]

12. Damn gunshow loophole.

16. So modern-day Nazis really do exist? And they are armed and dangerous....

what do you bet, these Nazis don't support Obama?

[troubledamerican]

20. Likely these were clowns. But real Nazis & an organized Underground Reich do exist...

... as I'm sure you're well-aware of, as an anti-fascist.

[AntiFascist]

25. Yes....

my post was partly facetious, but the threat of fascism is very real. Whenever you see mention of anti-communism, which often involves the Religious Right, much of it involves support for the former Nazi initiatives. Groups like The Fellowship don't even try to hide their admiration of Hitler and what he did to ward off communism.

On edit: ALSO, certain Libertarians don't even hide the fact that they are part of what they the call "The Fifth Column". I wonder if they may have had anything to do with 9-11?

17. FR is probably purging their posts

as we speak.

[bvar22]

18. These people should be renditioned....

...to a torture country for some "interrogation" to expose the whole network.
These people ARE "terrorists".

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

22. So you agree with rendition for terrorists?

[TxRider]

24. They may well be..

They are certainly going to get an aggressive interrogation.

[Tim01]

21. Damn shame they didn't blow themselves up. Save everybody the trouble. nt

[slackmaster]

26. They'll be going to federal PMITA prison for a loooooong time

Good work, law enforcement people!

I hate Illinois Nazis!
