From USA Today:
A Ku Klux Klansman working for General Electric and an accomplice are facing terrorism charges in upstate New York for allegedly planning to build a mobile X-ray weapon to kill Muslims and other "enemies of Israel," federal authorities announced Wednesday.

Crawford, an industrial mechanic with GE, claimed the "Hiroshima on a light switch" device could fit in a van, be triggered remotely and deliver lethal doses of ionizing radiation that would kill its targets as they slept, the complaint stated. Feight allegedly agreed to build the electronic controls.

Crawford is also listed on Tea Party Patriots as the "coordinator" of Americans Demanding Liberty and Freedom, which was founded in April 2009 in Galway.
Feight works for a GE contractor in Columbia County, authorities said. He formerly was employed as a computer software expert and project engineer for Smith Control Systems, in Hudson, the Albany Times-Union reported in its detailed account.
Up to six unidentified people, including another GE employee, were assisting Crawford, and some may have known his intentions, according to an FBI affidavit.

(1,301 posts)5. some twisted logic going on based on his/their hatred of muslims?
from the article it seems that person or the people involved in this really hated muslims, and enough to forget he was "meant" to be hating jewish people?
he called these perceived enemies and Muslims "medical waste" and "scumbags."
~snip~
He railed against President Obama, whom he derided as "your treasoness bedwetting maggot in chief," for "bringing the muzzies here without background checks."
the whole hiroshima on a lightswitch seems a huge exageration.

Yes, that is my catch phrase when I can't come up with anything better.
What is wrong with these people, don't they know harboring so much hate is unhealthy?
