Don’t you ever wonder what his computer history is filled with? What books he reads, or doesn’t read but quotes?

Manifesting some economic anxiety, no doubt.

After his arrest on Friday, Holzer allegedly told law enforcement that though he hadn’t planned on hurting anyone, he still would’ve gone through with his plan if there were someone inside the synagogue.

Master race, eh?

According to the GOP, he can’t be indicted because the bomb didn’t go off.

“I want something that tells them they are not welcome in this town,” Holzer told the agents, according to the complaint.

Says the wacko whose name is of German Jewish descent.

I had a friend (gay man, right winger) who was shocked when I told him my brother’s synagogue (where Eric Cantor also attends) has armed guards at each service. This was probably two years ago. He is an avid news digester (Fox, I’m sure) and simply could not believe my assertion. The synagogue is in an upscale neighborhood a few blocks from his house. This kind of ignorance is actually the scariest to me: a sophisticated person who is well-traveled, well-read, and in a bubble that doesn’t extend three blocks past his house. Needless to say, no guards at his church necessary.

How lucky we are that these bigots tend to be very, very dumb.

So where was this delightful patriot radicalized? Fox News or its minor league subsidiary Stormfront?

What his Twitter handle is… and all of his other nom de plumes for social media.
Does he have a Youtube channel?

Yeah I wonder how the three men from Kansas that threatened to blow up an apartment building where Somalis live like their 25, 26, 30 year prison sentences.

I wish this weren’t an evergreen article. (not a knock on CO, the location state of the offense changes)

Gay man, right winger explains a lot. Takes a tremendous amount of self-deception to square that peg.

Seriously??? If the Somalis were sent to prison for a long stretch for basically the same thing why wouldn’t this person receive the same justice? Oh wait…he is White and probably claims to be a Christian.

Why do these white nationalists always go after Jews??? Do they even know why? My college roomie and still best friend is Jewish and her oldest son who is a lawyer supports Trump. I don’t know if he has had a change of heart in the last few months. So Much Crazy. I worry about her and her family … so many guns and so many crazy idiots.
