Neo-Nazi in coast guard plotted attack on Democrats and journalists, say prosecutors

[Kangaroo Feathers]

"A neo-Nazi serving as a lieutenant in the US coast guard has been caught plotting to attack Democratic members of Congress, including congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and well-known media personalities, according to prosecutors.

Christopher Hasson intended “to murder innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country”, according to a filing to federal court in Maryland. Law enforcement officers seized 15 guns and 1,000 rounds of ammunition from his home.

Prosecutors said Hasson was a “domestic terrorist” and should be detained. He was arrested last week on drugs and weapons charges."

I voted <maybe>.
In the poll about Trump haters being dangerous, I voted <yes>.
The difference is that lovers tend to be safer than haters.

Btw, I don't want this guy guarding our coast.

Holy Frak!! .

I voted "Maybe". Clearly some Trump supporters are dangerous. But I would never say all Trump supporters are dangerous. You found the dangerous loony of the year. He clearly is a threat and I am glad that he was caught before he could do any damage.

I voted <yes>
Since Trump is trying to tear down state/church separation, gay rights, etc etc

To me, it seems like he is being detained based on Google searches. Which is weird, considering freedom of speech.

...People can be curious and weird, but until someone actually attempts something.. Did he attempt to "do" something?

The Google searches are only part of the evidence. It is also an early story. Too early to expect a lot of detail on how they caught him.

I think I would join the bandwagon if there was any evidence that he actually attempted to do something. But owning guns and searching things online is not enough for me.

...So I'll refrain from passing judgement until more information is available.

Also, I voted no in the poll.

How so?

I voted "No" mainly because you lumped all persons that are "Trump lovers"(your words not mine) as dangerous
Now if the question was: "Are some Trump lovers dangerous" I would have voted maybe
Any living thing on this planet could be dangerous.
However, I will say that those that hate President Trump are dangerous because any person who hates something is dangerous.

It was a bit of a tongue in cheek response to the poll in this thread; Man pulls a gun on a couple in a Sam’s Club store because they wore MAGA hats

I don't really believe such large groups can all be classed as dangerous or not. I was trying to make a point. Still, I do hope some of the Trumpettes see this and think of it before posting their next alarmist "ZOMG! anti-Trump people are so mean and dangerous and want to kill us all" thread.

Strange I didn't see you making similar protestations in this thread; Man pulls a gun on a couple in a Sam’s Club store because they wore MAGA hats

I said maybe for all the same reasons I said maybe in the previous poll. Everyone is capable of being malicious, politics aside.

Who the hell votes maybe if "some" Trump lovers are dangerous? There is documented proof that these some are in fact dangerous no maybe.

LoL
Trump appears unaware of administration effort to legalize homosexuality abroad

I think the people that selected maybe are foolish IMHO.

In a case of dueling websites, I'll trust NBC over MSN for coverage of Trump.

That is because you used the word "haters", and any person that hates can be dangerous. FYI I said maybe in the aforementioned thread.
But if it makes you happy, and since I have rethought my reasoning, I will change my vote to maybe in this thread because even if the love the President they might hate someone or something, thus becoming dangerous.
