Two white supremacists trying to buy weapons to bomb and shoot churches and synagogues have been charged with attempting to buy guns and explosives from undercover federal agents, according to a federal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Virginia.

Robert C. Doyle, 34, of Chester, and Ronald Beasley Chaney III, 33, were both charged with conspiracy to possess firearms after having been convicted of felonies, according to criminal complaints filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Richmond. A third man, Charles D. Halderman, 30, was charged with conspiracy to commit robbery.

“Doyle and Chaney, and others known and unknown to the FBI, ascribe to a white supremacy extremist version of the Asatru,” the federal criminal complaint reads, adding that the men “discuss[ed] acting out in furtherance of their extremist beliefs by shooting or bombing the occupants of black churches and Jewish synagogues, conducting acts of violence against persons of the Jewish faith.”

The investigation stemmed from several meetings, including one in October when Doyle and Chaney met with an undercover FBI agent posing as an illegal arms dealer. Doyle placed an order for an automatic weapon, explosives and a pistol with a silencer, the criminal complaint states. The meeting was recorded by undercover federal agents, as plans were laid to rob and kill a local silver and jewelry dealer and robbed an armored car.

1. This is what the FBI should be doing

Not creating bogus sting operations trying to ensnare morons in so-called Islamic terrorism.

7. Who's to say they didn't use similar methods?

I'm fine with it no matter whom they catch buying into it. Terrorists who plan and plot to kill and hurt people they hate need to be fucking locked up no matter what their cause is.

2. It's an instance

of why silencer sales should continue to be restricted

Investigating and prosecuting violent crimes is already difficult enough

3. Has a silencer ever been used in a crime in the US?

Also, a pistol equipped with a silencer is NOT Hollywood quiet:

4. What are their freeper/cave handles?

5. All three will poll high enough to get a spot in the GOP debate tonight!!!!

[romanic]

6. They want a race war so bad

they'll do anything to start one. White supremacists are pathetic creatures.

[trillion]

8. Tea party Gop which are now main liner GOP. They are being politizied into white surpremacy.

I want to know where all this racial hatred leads. Will they actually all try to get a race war and use their beloved guns on dems and minorities. I think that is exactly where this is leading if we let it.

Read any news site and look at all the racist comments. I can't believe black people feel comfortable going to any of them. They're racist hate sites and the local tv stations don't moderate them but let them be run by racists. If they wanted it to stop they would turn off the comments like CNN. That racism brought to news sites is being taught by the right wing sites and then their members show up on news sites and spread their hatred. They've succeeded in making every news site that allows comments, including the liberal ones, hate sites for minorities to flee. Just saying, the white supremacists are the gop. Thats nearly half the US and they're getting worse.
