Obama Assassination Attempt Foiled
Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama
There sure are some crazies out there!
Currently, the FBI is investigating claims of an alleged assassination plot against Presidential hopeful Barack Obama.
Four people were arrested near the Democratic convention in Denver. They were in possession of high-powered rifles.
Scary!!!
Nathan Johnson (pictured above on the right), is denying any involvement in the plot, but he did admit that his friends "were here to do that - to assassinate him."
Apparently, the plan was to shoot Obama "from a high vantage point … with a … rifle."
This all came about on Sunday, when police arrested 28 year-old Tharin Gartrell (above left), who was erratically driving a rented pickup truck.
That's where they found two high-powered rifles with telescopic sites. They also found walkie-talkies in his truck, along with camouflage clothing, a bulletproof vest, two wigs, a high-powered spotting scope, three IDs with unknown identities, and methamphetamine.
When Gartrell was accompanied to his hotel in Denver by the police, a second man, 33 year-old Shawn Robert Adolf, jumped out from a window and injured himself. He jumped from six-stories high.
Idiot!
Adolf broke his ankle after the fall, but was arrested shortly afterwards. He also had several outstanding warrants against him. And according to sources, he was also wearing a ring with a swastika on it and is believed to have connections to white supremacist organizations.
Johnson added that Gartell and Adolf "planned to kill Barack Obama at his acceptance speech." He said that his friends told him, Barack "don’t belong in political office – or blacks don’t belong in political office. He gotta be shot."
As for the fourth person arrested, it's an unidentified woman who was with Johnson though she is not believed to have any involvement with the plot, however other arrests are still a possibility.
US Attorney Troy Eid insisted that there was no clear danger to the candidates or convention delegates.
Eid said in a recent statement, “Federal law enforcement is working hand-in-glove with the Aurora Police Department. Because this matter is currently under investigation, there is little we can say right now. We can say this: We’re absolutely confident there is no credible threat to the candidate, the Democratic National Convention, or the people of Colorado."
And if Obama isn't doing so yet, we highly suggest he wear a bulletproof vest. And wear it all the time.
oh and OF COURSE they both look like the product of in-breeding!
omg fucking crazy dumb asses
Meth really makes people look like shit. They look like they are both 50 year olds. Bet they also have those lovely Meth Teeth to go along with the faces.
Why do the ignorant hate change?
Wow! i cant believe that… they need to get some sense knocked into them
People really need to just realize that he's gonna be the next president.
Obama '08 baby!
If you guys love Obama I would vote Mccain cause there are alot of crazy people out there and he may get killed if he is elected president!!!
That's disgusting!!!!! What do you expect from some inbred looking low lives! Lock them up and throw away the key!
these people (fortunately) look WAY to retarded and inbred to assassinate anyone with an ounce of security. fuckin' racist psychos out there, sadly.
nobody wants a black president he will die people wont stop
OMG!
I can't believe Haters!!
Why don't they turn the gun on themselves?!
Fucking rednecks
fuckin nasty white trash!!!
I hate white supremisists.
yes Obama really needs to take care of himself and his family. i really want to know when these ignorant people are all just going to die.
There are a lot of people not ready for a black prez!!!
RUN Osama bin bama!!!!
Unfortunately, because of his race he'll be a target for the militia types for as long as he's running for President. If he's elected it will continue. I'm not an Obama supporter, but certainly don't wish him dead!
take your white supremecy and blow it out your white ass. and stop inbreeding.
you should be shot for being so ugly and you guys are about as smart as a hoe handle
Re: 3l$@ – FU!
Take Your picture down!
We will soon find out that they are from somewhere in the South too…… sickos.
Dumb Asses
Re: HeebieJeebie – Fu Hater!
Re: abercorey – LOL YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
Wow-Why is it that on Cops-news etc the dumbass whites that get themselves in trouble always look like redneck-unwashed retarded mother fuckers
SO SAD but I am not surprised, the racist militia, aryan nation and KKK groups are definitely in full plot modes!!! We can only pray that God will bless and look over him and his family!! So sad!
I wondered how long it would take for someone to try this. Horrible.
Yeah, let's make these guys pres and vice pres. CLEARLY they are racially and genetically superior. NOT!
Re: 3l$@ – I DONT REALLY THINK IT IS BECAUSE HE IS BLACK I THINK MORE PEOPLE ARE SCARED BECAUSE HE IS MUSLIM
I thought this wouldn't happen unless he was actually elected. A bulletproof vest is an excellent idea.
OMG I HAVE A VERY BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS.
Sodomize intolerance
WOW ! Trashy ghetto are crazy.
I am rooting for Obama, but I am scared of this being an ongoing thing. I fear for the safety of him and his family. Still, best of luck, we need a significant change in this country and he is just the man to do it!!!!
Those are some ugly ass looking rednecks… ugh…
I 'd hate to think of what would happen if Obama is assassinated because some dumb redneck doesn't like the color of his skin.
People shouldn't try to kill (OR VOTE) for some one because of their race. At least try to pretend the reason behind your action is because of your political views.
That is so scary and evil!
These white trash need to be
thrown UNDER the jail forever!
Hooray for the Police for catching
these evil creatures!
let's see: meth - check, guns-check, kkk-check, inbred hillbilly-check. hard to say if these idiots were really planning to kill obama or if they were all hopped up on meth paranoia. Either way - they need to be behind bars.
Now we have a face to the haters and racists on this site! Void of emotion or intelligence! Fucking ugly!
INBREEDERS!!!

Most assasinations have been done to white politicians in America by white crazy people. The only major black politician killed by a white was Martin Luther King. Killing politicians isn't unique, starts wars and destroys countries. But there is always a crazy person who is willing to do it. crazy is crazy- you will always have them. They look very methy. But they will stay locked up for a long time. It isn't about killing black politicians- they just want attention. If they wanted to kill black politicians, there are a lot of them out there. They didn't have to wait for Obama. It's just about the attention. It always is.
ewwwwww…they are so ugly.
I knew there had to be someone with two first names (those three name folks are wacked) think back to all serial killers or just crazy's ex.. John Wayne Gacy!
i'm telling u it's the fucken retilians
Re: nickelpickle56 – hes not muslim you idiot go read a book maybe youll get smarter and learn how not to be so ignorant
His last name really is Adolf???? WTF????
Re: MRS.RICKY MARTIN LOVER –
you mean the shape-shifting reptiles right?
Could they look anymore like in-bred racist haters? The kicker is, guys like this think that THEY represent America. They THINK they are good Americans. They're not. They're losers. Filthy, drunk, hateful losers. They are NOT America and they never have been and never will be.
With a name like "Adolf" is anyone surprised this man is not only stupid but homicidal. Who names their kids Adolf anyway? It's not even common among Germans. Poor asshole never even had a chance with a name like that. He and his parents suck.
I'm not sure how these tweaked out, Gummo-looking rednecks figured their way out of the trailer park.
Funny, but if you check the news they said the investigation amount to nothing. Nobody was charge…Perez, I find interesting that you did not report the envelopes with white power that last week were sent to McCain campaign offices.
I worry more about McCain safety. The reason? Obama's associations with terrorists like William Ayers who bomb the Capital, The Pentagon and the State Dept. Mr. Ayers was a member of "The Weather Underground" that conduct at least 12 bombings all over the USA in then70's.
His home serve as the first fundraise for Obama. kind of scary.-Don't you think?
Re: Jane Doe – I'm far from a hater….you stooooopid cunt!!
thats crazy, but I am canadian and I seriously saw that coming. Everybody you talk to who isn't American says the same thing.
Re: Nickysue – That was uncalled for - AS someone from the south I can say we've had to deal with and correct racist attitudes a lot longer than the rest of the country. I believe we have made much more progress on that than any other part of the country. Racism is everywhere- not just in the south. Rednecks are everywhere.
Re: Sammy – IF MARTIN LUTHER KING AND MALCOLM EX THOUGHT THAT WAY THEY WOULD HAVE NEVER MADE A DIFFERENCE! SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE TO ENVOKE REAL CHANGE!
i'm sure obama's secret service people have it under control perez…you don't need to "warn" him to wear a bulletproof vest!
i live in chicago and when his wife goes to her hair salon it's surrounded by secret service…i'm sure he had coverage at the democratic convention!!
Re: LettyB – I MEANT MALCOLM X
believe it or not. theres a lot of KKK's out there ppl. obama need to watch his back. these mf's are crazy. and they wont stop. scary
I hope these idiots rot in jail. Ignorant, hateful, gun toting meth addicts should not be allowed to walk the streets. Unfortunately, they will be crawling out the woodwork if Obama is elected President
Re: HeebieJeebie – Fuck You!
you sicko hating racist!
proud republicans. probably fucking their sisters
fake. no one tried to do anything to osama. they're just trying to drum up support and hide the fact that people are turning away from him in droves and his poll numbers are tanking. the only chance for the dems this year is for hillary to take over the convention. hillary or algore.
Re: Sammy – sad but true.
Re: nickelpickle56 – HE IS NOT MUSLIM YOU FUCKTARD!
Re: Sammy – I think Obama is well aware of the risks.
what such dumbasses, white trash that's all they are
obama 08 ya'll !!!
Re: hotmodelchiq – raised as a mooslim in indonesia, dresses as a mooslim in kenya, approves of shira law, and carries a koran. muslim.
kevlar isn't going to protect him against head shots.
Perez, I cried when I saw this, I am a black person, and I have no hate for any race, so I cannot understand hatred like this! I wish Barack and his family well. God please look over them!
Re: HeebieJeebie – Re: HeebieJeebie – Go take care of Your dying BF!
You were just Crying to Andy about!!
Re: Jane Doe – I'm sure that was the plan after they shot him. They look like cowards. lets use a rifle so we can be way far away, and then we can shoot ourselves so we don't have to go to jail!
Re: HeebieJeebie – You are as close of a hater as there can be talking like a racist, "There are a lot of people not ready for a black prez!!!
RUN Osama bin bama!!!! "
Re: alexis760 – I agree-cowards. just like the racists/haters who sit on here and attack with words behind their screens!
Re: HeebieJeebie[/re Y[re=2795344]Re: COCACOLA – Once again, spouting off un-truths! Corrosive bullshit! Typical republican spin. Btw, meth will kill you~you should give it up!
It's crazy how America is supposed to be a melting pot, and alot of the other countries accept interracial marriages better than America does. Funny how, it still seems Taboo. SAD!
this is jacked up but I bet there are a lot of plots foiled quite often on many public figures.
who cares if they die from Meth? Natural selection! If your not smart enough to think - chemicals going into my body is prolly a bad thing, then you should be dead. And props to the people who realize that!
Re: hotmodelchiq – Obama is a Muslim, raised a Muslim and was taught Islamic values and the Koran until the age of 12. He didn't 'convert' to Christianity until he was in his 30's and it was politically advantageous to do so. And even then he joined a hate-filled, racist church that preaches anit-American propaganda.
Re: hotmodelchiq – im ignorant…maybe you should read up on him a little and you would know that he grew up in hawaii and went to a MUSLIM school where he attened MUSLIM church…it wasnt untill recently that he converted to christianity….so who is ignorant now whore!!!!!!!!
it's a shame how much more dangerous this job will be for Obama than any others… all because of a needed global change.
it's a valuable price to pay to learn a priceless lesson.
Re: Jane Doe – You know nothing. Idiot!!
Re: buck – THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These guys are a few fries short of a Happy Meal.
Re: Jane Doe – I hope you die a painfull death…..SOON!!!
Re: LettyB – You are very right and I support change and believe in what Obama stands for I am just sad for his family, he has 2 young daughters and a 19 year marriage it just scares me to know their are evil people out there that may do this to a young man full of ideas and life.
what scares me is if hes elected he will be assasinated with all these crazy white supremacists
I have a bad feeling about it too… those guys are really pathetic… this mentality is pathetic.
Maybe it's only in french but race is not an appropriate word to describe an ”etnic group”.. sorry for the person below (and sorry for my english too)… and I'm not sure but I dont think he's muslim… based on what I read.. anyways …
Oof!

Four hillbillies down, millions to go.

I think the only female, black and/or minority this nation will accept as President is my idol Oprah!!!

sad, but true….this is going to happen quite a bit i presume if he becomes president.

A bullet proof vest? No way Perez! Our president is not going to be walking around wearing a vest "at all times".
Re: HeebieJeebie – ohhh death threat??
You are a SICk FUCK!!!
Re: COCACOLA – Do you specifically come on PerezHilton.com just to talk about politics? I never see you post on anything other than to preach about Republican shit. If you want to write novels as to why you love being right-winged, go to the Fox news website.
By the way, if you are a proud Republican, why cant you spell Condoleezza right?
Re: Nickysue – I am originally from the northeast, but I live in GA right now. You need to stop being fucking stereotypical - maybe they are from the south, maybe not? Stupid people come from everywhere. You are being fucking ignornat by saying that. I knew of racist people in NY, and I know of some that are here in GA. I will say in Atlanta where I live there are many more Obama supporters in the city. Stop being a hypocrite, and insulting an area for no reason.
Barack is no fool, Im sure him and Michelle had alot of long talks about the possibility of what they were up against. But if no black person or woman for that matter makes the attempt we'll never make any progress towards racial equality. Sometimes it takes sacrifice and for Obama to put himself out there like that to me is amazingly brave of him and his family. How many of you out there are literally willing to put their lives on the line for the advancement of mankind? Not many. I know I'm not one of them. This election is a breeze for McCain, he's white, he's old and he's got money. You can stick any white guy up to be president but it takes a strong individual to stand up to almost 200 years of the same ole same ole. Give the man a chance people. Could it be any worse than what we've been stuck with the last 8 years?
Re: Jane Doe – Wasn't a threat whore…..just a wish!!!
I hope you die alone!!!!! Just what a fucker like you deserves!!!
i knew some shit like that was gonna go down.
they need to go back to their lil' hick towns and smoke weed all day.
it always gotta be ugly white people to pull some crap like that.
TEAM OBAMA!
How come no one has commented on his last name being adolf?
LOL
Re: Sammy – TOTALLY AGREE! IT IS SAD ! THE US IS THE MOST RACIST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!.
