‘It will be a bloodbath’: Inside the Kansas militia plot to ignite a religious war

By Cleve R. Wootson Jr.
October 15 at 1:12 PM

The “Crusaders” knew they wanted to kill Muslims — and with luck, use the “bloodbath” to ignite a religious war — but for months they couldn’t settle on a plan.

The easiest way would be to grab guns, go to the predominantly Somali-Muslim apartment complex they’d been surveilling and start kicking in doors, court documents said. They would spare no one, not even babies.

In the end, they decided to set off bombs similar to the one Timothy McVeigh used in 1995 to kill 168 people in Oklahoma City. They planned to strike after the Nov. 8 election, investigators said.

Curtis Allen, Gavin Wright and Patrick Eugene Stein face federal charges of conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction to blow up an apartment complex, a mosque and Muslim immigrants from Somalia, the Department of Justice announced Friday.

Trump's support by Russia who also supports genocidal ethnic cleansing puts you under a growing tent. It sounds like the wannabe Kansas branch of the "He Man Woman and Islamic Haters Club" lost its nerve and someone ratted them out.

As other genocidal individuals and groups have found out mass murder is not an easy task. That is why a one way suicidal pact is so attractive. The real industrial genocidal professionals found they had to train monsters to do the task.

Two Sovet block Trump wives. And a warm endorsement from Putin, of The Donald.

I'm sure that was almost everyone's first thought, after hearing about Finicum, was that we all need to kick down doors and shoot babies
