Obama Assassination Attempt Foiled

Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama

obamacrazies.jpg

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.

  17. 17

    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!

    I thought this wouldn't happen unless he was actually elected. A bulletproof vest is an excellent idea.

  33. 33

    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!!!!

  34. 34

    Those are some ugly ass looking rednecks… ugh…

  35. 35

    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.

  36. 36

    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!

  37. 37

    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.

  38. 38

    Now we have a face to the haters and racists on this site! Void of emotion or intelligence! Fucking ugly!

    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.

  42. 42

    ewwwwww…they are so ugly.

  43. 43

    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!

    Re: MRS.RICKY MARTIN LOVER

    you mean the shape-shifting reptiles right?

  48. 48

    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.

  49. 49

    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.

  50. 50

    I'm not sure how these tweaked out, Gummo-looking rednecks figured their way out of the trailer park.

  51. 51

    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?
