[RamboLiberal]

Frederick Thomas; Cleveland, Ga.; 73 Thomas was allegedly the leader of the bunch. He lives in a brown two-story family residence that sits on two acres of property. The first meeting allegedly took place at his home, where he claimed he had enough weapons to arm everyone present.

Dan Roberts; Toccoa; 67 Roberts drives a 1990 Red Ford Ranger pickup and lives in a yellow-sided home on a 1.8 acre plot of land. Roberts allegedly said he knew people in Habersham County who “had a substance that could kill people with a very small amount.” He claimed he’d been talking to a former Army soldier living in Stephens County whom he descibed as a “loose cannon” who manufactured ricin. Roberts said he personally saw the ricin in powder form.

Ray H. Adams; Toccoa; 65 A retired Department of Agriculture employee, Adams lives in “a single story shelter constructed of wood plants and a metal roof.” The rear of the shelter, according to an FBI affidavit, “is a travel trailer used for its kitchen facilities and storage.” It’s located on 17.21 acres.

Samuel J. Crump, Toccoa, Ga. 68 Crump, pictured above in a photo posted on MySpace and Facebook, lived in a mobile that sat on .27 acres. The Centers for Disease Control told the FBI he worked as a contractor for the agency doing “maintenance type services.”

On his Facebook page, Crump is a member of a number of Tea Party affiliated groups as well as one called “DEAR LORD, THIS YEAR YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTOR, PATRICK SWAYZIE. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTRESS, FARAH FAWCETT. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE SINGER, MICHAEL JACKSON. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, MY FAVORITE PRESIDENT IS BARACK OBAMA. AMEN.”

1. These men are terrorists, plain and simple.

I don't care what race they are, or how old they are...

They meant to murder people and they are terrorists.

Thank goodness they were caught in time.

[Tsiyu]

2. Agreed

Calling them "Senior citizens" diminishes the horror of what these terrorists planned to do.

And it is very good they were caught, but terrible that the media will poo-poo this story, yet would be frothing at the mouth if they were muslims....can you imagine?

So how are these terrorists any different from any of the terrorists they claim to hate in the Mideast?

3. Terrorism from the Right

The Department of Homeland Security warned us of this rising rightwing extremism. Rightwing politicians and pundits whined loud and long but the DHS report was right. http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/publications/terror-from-the-right">Here is a list of their plots since 1995.

4. Ricin is a chemical agent, not a bio agent...

May these idiots fry anyway.

[piratefish08]

5. white people, especially old white people, can NOT be terrorists.

terrorists are brown and live in faraway places ending with 'stan. they hate our freedom.


have you been paying attention at ALL for 10 years?

[TroglodyteScholar]

6. Funny to see Habersham county mentioned here... REAL hillbilly territory...

The last time I spoke with someone from Habersham, the conversation ended with me walking away while he stomped his foot repeatedly and screamed at the top of his lungs, "Whites should NOT intermarry with NIGRAS!"

Charming folks in that part of the state.

7. Looks like all of them were government employees, too. Hope their social security and pension

checks can cover their legal costs :sarcasm:.

[Nevernose]

8. We need to bomb Arkansas NOW

That's what we do, right? Find terrorists and then bomb the living shit out of the wrong place?

[Warren DeMontague]

9. Patrick Swayze, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson???

Good grief, these people are crazier than I thought.

[Warren DeMontague]

10. I'm curious to know their religious affiliation

I think it may be relevant to their motivations-- and, it's important to expose dangerous extremist ideologies, isn't it?
