Militia Watch

I think that the bit about an Obama assassination should be taken out of this neo-Nazi plot to target African-Americans. Clearly they had already plotted a significant portion of the effort to rob a gun store and shoot up a couple predominantly black high schools in Tennessee. But the Obama part of the deal was more like a "I know, and then we'll get in our cars and drive to Obama's house" kind of thing. Still serious, and I'm glad law enforcement worked in this case and they were caught, but the assassination part feels more aspirational than anything.

This is an example of the ever-present prospect of violence around race in America. I'm undecided on whether an Obama election would help or hurt.
