You're probably right. I though since it was a Houston area incident, it might be of interest to more local folk than just the people that like to argue in the D&D. I don't know if I've ever posted anything in the D&D, and almost never even peak in there.
Lol so true, the good ol days. Maybe it will come back, one of the largest Bucky's is getting built up road from it.
it wouldn't be D&D material if the OP hadn't (incorrectly) tried to tie this in with some political idealogoy
The reason is that, outside of McVeigh, most of these anti government types are disorganized clowns, with little or no network of support, and no international support at all. Plus, the government has thoroughly and completely infiltrated all these groups. If there's a White Nationalist rally with 5 people, one of them is usually an undercover agent, one of them is usually an informant, two of them are real White Nationalist, and the 5th guy is just there for the free beer. The article is nothing more than smug reverse race mongering.
You're race baiting. It's despicable enough in D&D, it's even worse here. Hangout is a pretty civil forum, please, let's keep it that way.
You never know how serious 'conspiracy' criminals are or how encouraged they were by the informants that turn them in. It's a fine line between immature daydreamers, diminished mental capacities and real serious plotters. I think the more "openly plotting" they are the less serious they probably are.
Race was secondary methinks. Christian+White+Terrorist is not a national news issue. Muslim+Brown+Terrorist is worth a full week of coverage on the national 24 hour news stations. This is definitely a D&D topic. This just in ... Left wing white extremists plotting the fall of the Western civilization Too bad they won't remember much of anything by the next morning
Back in the AOL days I saw a dude's profile calling it "Dat dirty bay" also the quote "Pray for rain, it turns dirt to mud" Oh Baytown. Also a channelview kid told me "I'm from channelview, where dreams come true"
Did the guy ever do anything or just talk about it? Good job arresting him, but the lack of uproar is probably because nothing was ever carried out. DD
It would get more attention if he was a muslim.... why? Recent history, and the fact that he targets Muslims, when a majority of Americans are not Muslims. Fox would have a field day with this if he were Muslim. On a side note, there has been several racial issues coming out of Katy the last few years...
