He’s an older white Republican, so no real threat, right?
WRONG.
Edit: Ask the DHS who have determined that right wing extremists are more of a threat in this country than Muslim extremists.

From the looks of his smile, it appears to me he went to the Chiclets Gum (Teeth Section) site, for his front teeth!

“His lawyers and prosecutors came to an agreement that Doggart signed where he would have pleaded guilty to a single charge of interstate communication of a threat, a charge that carries up to five years in prison.”
He would have faced ONLY FIVE YEARS in jail for using the internet to organize a terrorist attack on a small town ? Say what???
I’m sure it would have been longer if he had a darker shade of skin.

Most informed Americans, including most judges and lawyers, should know about those studies and the recent press on this issue. I can’t imagine a judge doing this, but I guess there are still some judges who are Republicans or watch Fox Snooze.

Judge Collier was appointed to the bench in 1995 by President Clinton.

If he was a young, dark-skinned male Muslim who had done the EXACT SAME THING (just substitute “Christians” for “Muslims” in his communications) his ass would already be in Guantanamo to rot forever.
Justice is Blind my ass.
Someone should look into this Judges political affiliations and connections (and business dealings.)
I’ll bet there are some “interesting” acquaintances in there.

I read this story at NYT when I read and was horrified to learn about the number of homegrown terrorists there are and the damage they’ve inflicted. Only the DOJ can pursue it and if and when they try to they’ll be called out for being anti American or something.

I would say this guy is as much a threat as any jihadist.

“Target 3 is vulnerable…and must be utterly destroyed in order to get the attention of the American People," Doggart wrote.
Does the “left” have people like this? People who think that murdering a group of people is the best way to prove how dangerous they are?
I guess, maybe if instead of videotaping inhumane animal killing/farming practices, the activists just killed the business owners.
Are there equivalents of the “Weather Underground” today?

Just wanted to express my outrage - justice has left the building.

The judge went on to clarify, “What I meant to say was that he is not a threat to white people, who, as we all know, are the only real people. While he may be a threat to the Browns of various shades we do not consider this an issue to our legal system as they are not real humans. I’m sure there are SOME good ones but, come on, brown and muslim at the same time? They’re just asking for it. I don’t know why people keep talking about white privilege. I would do the same for Bobby Jindal, Ben Carson, or Alan West. You know, the good ones.”

Well, of course, he’s not a threat. Only Moozlims can be terrorists. That’s science.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that the fast food worker Jose Padilla wasn’t a real threat to anyone either. Let alone the idiot pizza guys that wanted boots.

Puh-LEEZE! White people are never threats. We’re good ol’ boys. Just funnin’ them Mooslims! Why can’t they take a joke???
You’re kidding, right? Undergraduate j-schools have always sucked. They tend to be mickey-mouse degree factories. Most good journalists never went to j-school.
Almost all good lawyers avoided pre-law majors as well. My best teachers in law school were a chemistry major at Stanford who studied law at Boalt, a philosophy major from Notre Dame, and a drama major from I don’t remember where. The first taught me con law, business associations, and securities regulation; the second, civil procedure and federal courts; the third income tax and tax policy. Seven classes with them gave me a pretty fair idea of their competence.
Journalism, education, and business ought all to be, as two of them once mostly were, graduate programs only, with some kind of arts or sciences degree earned before matriculation. I think the j-school echo chamber may have contributed to, and certainly hasn’t addressed, the religion of universal [i.e., false] equivalence and even-handedness, which equates neutrality of approach with neutrality of outcome. Sure, at Columbia grad level, there’s a lot of angsty soul-searching, but the undergrad programs still churn out stenographers.

The DHS might well be right about this — probably is — but it’s through no fault of their own.

You know, this is the equivalent of looking lovingly into his eyes, patting him on the head and asking in a sweet cartoony voice, “Now, Mr. Duggar, you’re not a pervert, are you?” – all while shaking your head from side-to-side “No.”

Nah, he’s not a Muslim so he can’t be a terrorist?
