Four (RightWing) Senior Citizens Plotted Killing Spree At A Waffle House

That's not the beginning of a joke, it's the scenario outlined by the FBI in a criminal complaint filed against four Georgia men yesterday who allegedly sought to use the online novel of a frequent Fox News guest named Mike Vanderboegh as a model for a terrorist plot against US government officials. The four men, Samuel Crump, Frederick Roberts, Ray Adams, and Dan Roberts, who named themselves "the covert group" (subtle!) allegedly fantasized about dispersing the toxic agent ricin over Washington DC and Atlanta, and hoped to ultimately obtain botulinium toxin, which Adams believed could kill millions of people in small doses.

"We need somebody to back us with some damn money so we can make that other shit," Crump said at a Waffle House in Toccoa, Georgia. according to the criminal complaint. Crump added that botulinium toxin was "worse than anthrax."

What was the ostensible purpose of all this killing? Saving the country of course. "There is no way for us, as militiamen, to save this country, to save Georgia, without doing something that’s highly, highly illegal: murder,” Thomas reportedly said. “When it comes time to saving the Constitution, that means some people have got to die.” The FBI also alleges that "Thomas, Roberts and others discussed the need to obtain unregistered silencers and explosive devices for use in attacks against federal government buildings and employees, as well as against local police."

Well, I suppose the Waffle House is one step up from Mom's basement.

1. They need to check their meds.

I believe they're off 'em.

[CreekDog]

2. That place attracts the wrong kind of element

:rofl:

[Rambis]

3. Send em to gitmo

:popcorn:

[izquierdista]

12. Nah, send them to Waffle House.....

After they've been Waffle-boarded, they'll give up the rest of their cell.

[Rambis]

15. Waffle-boarding that is quality!

:hi:

[WCGreen]

4. botulinium toxin...

I think that is possible at any Waffle House I have been too....

[TalkingDog]

6. Ha! Tho' you can't argue with the pecan waffles... siiiinful

n/t

[WCGreen]

Every time I travel down south I get me some scattered and smothered....

[Aerows]

10. I'm a fan of smothered and covered :D n/t

[Aerows]

9. Nah, Waffle House is okay

It just depends on where it is. I love their patty melts and hash browns, and the one by me has great unsweetened iced tea - always fresh.

[formercia]

5. I wonder if they had Whipped Cream and Sprinkles on those Pancakes.

They were whippin' somethin'.

Fuckin' Reich-Wankers.

[Aerows]

7. Man, I love Waffle House, too

They make a patty melt that is heavenly, and I always get it with smothered (with onions) and covered (with cheese) hash browns.

I know Waffle House has a little bit of a reputation for being a somewhat "hick-ish" establishment, but they really do have great food where I live, and it's cheap, too.

Thankfully these 4 men got caught before anyone was harmed. Talk about homegrown terrorism. I swear, right wing media have just about driven some of these people absolutely crazy. They listen to a steady diet of this crap, and think that they are justified in committing any atrocity if the RW media tells them so.

17. Did you miss the memo?

It's not terrorism unless furiegner based or commies.

:hi:

[Aerows]

18. Too true!

I guess the RW media are afraid that they would be prosecuted for being propaganda outlets if they allowed "terrorism" to be defined as any act of terror, and not just when it is caused by Muslims, Liberals, or "insert other groups we hate".

8. Destroying the country while starting at Waffle House ...

Excuse me while I ponder if this is an altogether bad idea. :eyes:




:sarcasm:

[Kingofalldems]

11. Is it time to shut down Fox News? Some people say.....

[abelenkpe]

13. Yes Please!

[Enrique]

21. time to shut down Waffle House

:patriot:

[Aerows]

25. No Way!

We cannot give in to fear and I need my hash browns ! :D

[Rebubula]

26. OVER MY DEAD BODY!!

Of course...if I eat there much more....


Mmmmm....cheap breakfast food!

[Aerows]

27. You and me both

I need my WH fix once a week.

[Swede]

14. Thank god it wasn't the International House of Pancakes.

They could have started a real incident.

[TalkingDog]

16. lol!

n/t

[Scuba]

19. Sarah Palin and Sharon Angle fans no doubt. n/t

[marmar]

20. I went over to the Free Republic to see their reaction to this story.......

...... the story was conspicuously absent.

[Scuba]

29. Did you post about it?

[marmar]

32. I'm brave enough to visit there, but not enough to create an account.

I'd feel like I'd been dumped in slime, even though I'd be posting as an agent provocateur.

[AsahinaKimi]

22. Well I suppose if they eat a lot of waffles

With all of that sugary Syrup on it every day, its bound to go to their brains.. yes? no?

[Enrique]

23. are they sure it wasn't Cracker Barrel? n/t

[Tsiyu]

24. They are Terrorists

Calling them senior citizens is minimizing their terrorist plots.

Sickening...from Georgia so I'm not surprised.

If this was some liberals it would be the top story everywhere...

Edit to add: The saying is, "I went to a fight and a Waffle House broke out."

Now it's, "I was with a terrorist cell ..."

[War Horse]

28. This is what Faux and hate radio does to people

I really don't find anything funny about this... :shrug:

[ellisonz]

30. Book em, Danno.

[bluestate10]

31. Makes me glad.

That the food at those places is so bad.

[KT2000]

33. Do not underestimate

the oldsters doing things like this. I see their anger in the community where I live - many retired people here. They have the time and inclination to listen to RW media all day long. My neighbor - Mr Churchgoer, sends me emails that circulate among the RWers and there is some seriously nutty stuff that they rile each other up with. They are angry that they do not have employees to boss around anymore and feel impotent. Getting angry and self righteous makes them important gain.
