AUTOMATICALLY MAKES YOU A TERRORIST!!!

But when four white boy bubbas steal exlosive, of course they're not terrorists. Tey aren't the right skin color or religion to be terrorists, according to our fucked up government.

1. People should be asking how they know that terrorists did not steal it
If they're so effing sure they know it wasn't terrorists, they must know who did it.

Of course WE know that bubba could be a domestic terrorist, McVay, but we will never convince THEM of that little fact. They don't react well to facts.

2. Agreed - and can you imagine the grave press conference Ashcroft
would've held with the news?

Which makes me wonder if there's something else going on.

11. Yeah like if they got caught stealing the explosives
For a future MIHOP event and got caught like the Watergate plumbers or whatever.

Wearing tinfoil and a garland of silver and looking ever so festive. :tinfoilhat:

7. That's easy
What possible purpose could a private citizen have for 250lbs of SHEET explosive other than terrorism? In my book, even selling it makes you one (since that is who most likely they are selling it to).

Also remember, there is a VERY fine line between terrorist and revolutionary. While these blokes may stand on one side of that line (that is presumption on my part), the existing laws stand on the other.

aside: I am just glad they found it. 400lbs of C4, along with the missing plutonium from the LosAlmos research center (which is startlingly close to the facility this stuff was stolen from) just floating around inside the country was instilling a fear in me that is indescribable.

9. WTF are you going to do with 400 pounds of sheet explosives?
If you aren;t going to commit a terrorist act, you're going to sell it to somebody who will.

Ergo, stealing it makes you a terrorist.

12. You missed the point. If "Brown People" had stolen the expolosives
they'd be "terrorists." Stealing 400 pounds of explosives at least begs the question ... why?

14. Oh you should've seen the Freeps yesterday
They were practically drooling over themselves with racist
fervor that these guys were all gonna be named Mohammed.
They were just itchin' for a lynchin' ... good god these freeps are total turdballs!!!!

Needless to say.. the freeps shut right up once it was announced that these crooks
were some freeped-out redneck-cracker-ass homegrown terroristas.

freeps.... pathetic really

6. Actually, we don't know what color they are
and in this part of the country, it could be any combination of colors, creeds, politics, and what have you.

The few snippets that got through on local news were that they all had criminal records for theft and other things, and that "they probably didn't know what they had." You know, they're stupid. It probably took them a whole year after last year's theft (also by dopes who didn't have a buyer ready) to find the place, it was that remote.

That they took the stuff back to the Four Corners and stored it for a week shows that they aint none too swift, that they didn't have a buyer yet, and that the calibre of the New Mexico criminal is not on the rise.

If this had been connected to terrorism in any way, that stuff would have been out of this area the night it was stolen.

10. If the Patriot Act hadn't been extended they would be terrorists
Since the Patriot Act is still in effect, they can't possibly be terrorists. The Patriot Act protects us, remember...

15. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaawwwwwwwww! :0-)
Tin foil hat time!

But I wonder if this was a created government plot. Blackmail a couple of known criminal bubbas to steal the explosives and apprehend them before they pretend to do some serious damage. And this would go in the books as foiling a would be terrorist attack on our soil under the * administration. Oh, and the two they won't name are agents.

16. What about economic terrorists? Silverado? Enron? Airlines? etc.
The President, his administration, and Congress don't see the threat of, care to ponder the existence of, or try to protect the American Public from economic terrorism either.

They are diligently protecting the American Public from the potential for anti-poverty groups to commit terrorist acts though!

I'll bet there'll be plenty of Ali's and Mohammed's in that pool of persons.
