    WASHINGTON – Two white supremacists allegedly plotted to go on a national killing spree, shooting and decapitating black people and ultimately targeting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, federal authorities said Monday.
    In all, the two men whom officials describe as neo-Nazi skinheads planned to kill 88 people — 14 by beheading, according to documents unsealed in U.S. District Court in Jackson, Tenn. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.
    The spree, which initially targeted an unidentified predominantly African-American school, was to end with the two men driving toward Obama, "shooting at him from the windows," the court documents show.
    "Both individuals stated they would dress in all white tuxedos and wear top hats during the assassination attempt," the court complaint states. "Both individuals further stated they knew they would and were willing to die during this attempt."

    No, lots going on actually:

    A major interstate child prostitution ring was busted, 600 arrested.

    Actres Jeniffer Hudson's family was killed

    A popular Arkansas news anchor died after she was attacked in her home

    US Senator Ted Stevens convicted of illegal gift receiving

    McCain/Palin not getting along.

    Consider the source though. The media worships the ground Obama steps on.

    Like Falkenberg said, skinheads ain't bright. Even if they did get lucky and kill him, all they'd do is make him a martyrand that would be worse than if he did get elected. The media would want the Jefferson memorial converted into the Obama lama ding dong memorial.

    Skinheads are a bunch of people who could not tell you the time. I hardly think that bunch of thick plonkers would get in a mile of Obama.

    How true. What kind of morons would attempt an assassination of a presidential candidate after a murder spree and while wearing white tuxedos and top hats? They must think the Secret Service details that protect all presidential candidates are blind, deaf, dumb, and as stupid as they are.

    They can't have been serious, just trying to talk big and make points with the rest of their half-wit peers.

    I salute the U.S. secret services for having found these morons. These suspects are potentially dangerous after all. You don't need to be smart to pull a trigger, so they had to be taken seriously.

    It appears to be some sort of G3 family (maybe a MSG3 - the sniper of the poor) and by the way, the HK G3 or HK91 is the replica of the CETME not the other way around :p.

    Also, the article said 88 and 14 are importante to skinheads. Why is that?
    Is the 88 related to the calibre of the Tiger (thus proving their idioticness one more time. If they wanted to relate to Germany 75 would be a much better choice since it was a caliber used troughout the war)?

    What does the 14 stand for?

    Regarding stupid skins, in Portugal we got our share however, we have another kind of neo Nazis who are much more worrying. The kind who are not skins and do not post pictures of themselves on the web. The kind who train with airsoft guns urban warfare tactics and have the real counterparts at home. The kind of Neo-Nazi trash that has real knowledge on guerrilla tactics and if shit hits the fan, they could cause a lot of damage.

    Luckily, the vast majority are the dumb ugly ones:D The ones that make me laugh at calling themselves Neo-Nazis cause if Hitler was alive they'd be among the first to get purged :p



    Cheers...

    Finger in the trigger well, tsk, tsk.
    Cardinal No-No of gun safety. No worriers about him, he'll either shoot himself or his buddies first.
    Second place "Hot-Dog" phony tough thing to do, (apart from continuously pumping another round into a pump shotgun).
    That always gets me (on movies/TV). Why did you wait so long to chamber one?:confused:

    I saw a show on TV the other night about Nazis in America...from their founding really to how they exist today. They really aren't too much different then the KKK these days. The KKK apparently started off as a Fraternity type of thing, started by some ex-Confederate Soldiers. At one point, 3 Million Americans were part of the KKK but most left once a few individuals started getting really violent.

    Anyways, I couldn't help but laugh at the Neo-Nazis they showed. "Sieg Heil" I think they yell, along with 'White Power'. Its really comical though, since they're all back-woods people, in place like Ohio and Idaho. Talk about inbreeding...they're so dumb that they have trouble forming complete sentances etc in front of the camera. None can come up with a reason for being Nazis either. Still, I think they're a relic of what they used to be, even in Post War America.

    True, but I doubt that would be much help to the school kids who were to be their first targets. Glad they caught them that's all.

    [/quote]
    14 is important because there are 14 words in the skinhead creed

    88 is important to them because the 8th letter in the alphabet is H, so 88 stands for HH or Hiel Hitler

    answered that query this way: "The numbers 14 and 88 are symbols in skinhead culture, authorities said, referring to a 14-word phrase attributed to an imprisoned white supremacist: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children" and to the eighth letter of the alphabet, H. Two "8"s or "H"s stand for "Heil Hitler."

    I had not heard of 14 being a relevant number - I larn sumpin new evuh day. I also understand that 18 is a important number, along the lines of 88, with 1 representative of the A in Adolf (1st letter of the alphabet) and 8 representing H in Hitler.
