Schlesselman

MEMPHIS — Lawyers for one of two white supremacists accused of plotting to kill President Barack Obama asked a judge Friday to dismiss a threat charge against him, arguing the comments couldn't have been acted upon.

Paul Schlesselman, 18, of Helena-West Helena, Ark., and Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., were charged in October with plotting a robbery and killing spree that would climax with a firearms attack on Obama.

Charges include conspiracy, fire arms violations and threatening a major presidential candidate.

Schlesselman's lawyers contend that any threatening statements he made came while under arrest and during questioning by law enforcement.

1. Why do the shining examples of Aryan superiority always have squished, moronic faces?

Man, if this type of dumbfuck is the pinnacle of pure European blood, I'm going to have to impose a "never breed with Caucasians" rule on myself.

6. Unrelated is right.

Or at least somewhat distantly related, per the DNA evidence.

Why pick on Neanderthals alla time? They were probly just gentle people whose only fault was a lack of the aggressive, bullying nastiness that propelled their Cro-Magnon kin into dominance?

7. Comments couldn't have been acted upon

Says him and his lawyer. If there's more than one person involved in some
unlawful plan, and one of them takes one step towards the unlawful ends
of that plan, BOTH ARE GUILTY OF CONSPIRACY {which is every bit as punishable
as the actual crime itself} under the laws of the U.S. as well as the common
law of England.

Threatening statements came while under arrest? He's guilty of making said
threatening statements.

What if he assaulted a police officer while under arrest? Guilty!

What if he killed a police officer while under arrest? Guilty
