They should lock up this guy for a very long time. He is a disgrace. Coast Guard officer wanted to kill Democrats, TV hosts, say prosecutors https://www.nbcnews.com/news/milita...democrats-msnbc-hosts-say-prosecutors-n973786 A U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant working in the nation's capital lived a secret life as a "domestic terrorist" who aspired to mass murder and compiled a target list of prominent politicians and journalists, federal prosecutors allege in court papers. Christopher Paul Hasson was arrested Feb. 15 on drug and gun charges, but prosecutors said in a detention memo this week that he intended "to murder innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country." He has espoused extremist views for years, the court papers say, and he read the manifesto of Anders Breivik, the white supremacist Norwegian terrorist who shot and killed 77 people in 2011. From January 2017 to January 2019, "the defendant conducted online searches and made thousands of visits for pro-Russian, neo-fascist, and neo-Nazi literature," the document says. "I am dreaming of a way to kill almost every last person on the earth," reads a draft email found on his computer. "I think a plague would be most successful but how do I acquire the needed/ Spanish flu, botulism, anthrax not sure yet but will find something." In another letter to himself found on his computer, court papers say, he says, "I am a long time White Nationalist, having been a skinhead 30 plus years ago before my time in the military." The Coast Guard flagged him because of internet searches of extremist web sites at work, a federal law enforcement officer told NBC News. "He wasn't too surprised to be arrested, but he was worried about law enforcement officers entering his home, the official said. A search of his Silver Spring, Maryland, residence yielded 15 firearms and 1,000 rounds of ammunition, the court documents say. He was abusing the narcotic tramadol, and he had stockpiled 30 bottles of human growth hormone, prosecutors said in court papers. The combination of drugs and guns was a significant concern, the federal law enforcement official said. Prosecutors allege Hasson was following Breivik's manifesto, seeking to target "political leaders, media leaders, cultural leaders, and industry leaders."
My tin foil conspiracy hat is glowing. The timing of this news release about this at nearly the exact same moment as Smollett is now considered a suspect is just a little too convenient. Not that this nitwit shouldn't be arrested, detained and brought to justice. He should. I'm just sayin, it does take the spotlight off Jussie now doesn't it?
He actually did nothing. Is it a crime now to read shit on the internet or fantasize about stuff? If he is being prosecuted, when do they arrest Kathy Griffin?
Too bad they never intercepted the Fort Hood shooter who was an Army psychiatrist who was communicating on the net with Alwar al Wacko the second in command of Al Queda in Yemen, before he was killed by an American drone. He had gone off the reservation and was spreading extremist pro-jihad messages at army meetings and training sessions with other psychiatrists, and his colleagues had complained to superiors. Everyone knew he was into extremist shiite. But no. Could not do anything about it because he was a Muslim and that would not be culturally sensitive. The result: A complete jihadist massacre. Or as Obama called it: "an isolated incident of workplace violence."
All I know is there are dirty SOBs that work for the government. Remember the assassination of John F. Kennedy? I saw the original video of the shooting in a documentary. The shot that blew up his head clearly came from the right side! They said Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK from a high rise and hit him on the back of the head. Don't you find it convenient that Lee Harvey Oswald was killed himself by Jack Ruby? Remember too that the Deep State has been hard at work to remove President Donald Trump from office and impeach him at all costs. They are still working at it! Maybe, this is just a distraction to what they are trying to do? Whatever that is!
Ok the guy is a huge piece of shit... Scum of the Earth. But what exactly did he do?? Was he actually plotting and planning? Or just pontificating violently but not acting out. What’s the legal definition Of his crime?
Typical terrorist apologist, this is exactly what right wing ISIS apologists do. Congrats on reaching that stage Trumptard.
Plotting a terrorist attack is absolutely a crime in America. I used to believe there was no such thing as a stupid question yet today I am reevaluating this belief. A couple of points on this arrest: This is the second association of coast guard members to white nationalism. What’s up with that? And, big shout out to the Coast Guard on whole for recognizing, reporting and investigating their own. These things do not always get the internal scrutiny they deserve but the coast guard took this seriously and did a nice job.
