Inauguration Mass Murder “would be a public service.”
http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/racist-right-indulges-its-assassinat



According to Mark Potok at the SPLC, Turner has gone public this week with his threats:

On Friday, neo-Nazi threatmeister Hal Turner, amplifying on an earlier posting suggesting that it would be a good thing to use an unmanned drone carrying explosives to attack the crowds, said a mass murder of those attending the festivities “would be a public service.” “I won’t say what may happen Tuesday but I will say this,” Turner wrote on his blog. “After Tuesday, the name Hal Turner may live in infamy. Let it be known that I saw what was necessary and decided to do what had to be done. I make no apology to those affected or their families.”

Earlier, on Jan. 11, Turner had posted photos to his blog, under the headline “My Inauguration Dream,” of a small, unmanned drone, an electronic guidance system and sticks of dynamite as he laid out one method of attack. He also discussed the possibility of sending up balloons filled with helium and a “payload” and fitted with fuses that would explode the balloons over the crowds. And he displayed a grainy video that purported to show that method being tested. “Too far fetched?” Turner asks of a possible balloon attack. “It got tested and it worked! … Watch the video and imagine what payload, other than the index cards taped to the outside of the test balloons, might be substituted? HMMMMMM. Might be something messy? Something contagious? Something deadly? Ahhhh, such possibilities!” Then, last Thursday, he posted an update, saying: “All the assets that need to be in-place for next week are now in-place; deep within the security perimeter. Everything is a ‘go.’ We have crossed the Rubicon; let history judge us well.”

2. I'm sure the Secret Service will take care of it
They're not amused by this sort of threat.

5. OMG! People have been detained for a lot less than this "proposal"
by Hal Turner so why isn't he being detained? I haven't read the article yet. This type of talk sends chills down my spine because I fear for PE Obama's life. May he be safe and all others experiencing the inauguration in Washington.

7. This coward is probably holed up in some swamp...
...somewhere in Georgia. Cowards like him never really do anything, they just mouth, because that's all they do. The Secret Service probably have some crosshairs on this bastard as we speak.

15. He is indeed a coward
Can't do the job himself. He thinks it's soooo necessary that thousands, maybe millions would be killed without apology, but isn't willing to put himself on the line to do it. We used to have a very unpretty name for guys like this back in junior high school. And is seems almost appropriate, given Mr. Turner's relative social and intellectual understanding of life as revealed by his lunatic rantings.

Secret Service and the Southern Poverty Law Center. They are closed for the holiday today, but I agree with spinbsby...I'm sure the Secret Service is aware of this asscan...

9. How is this fuckhead still walking the streets?
This is domestic terrorism at its best.

I'm much more afraid of the idiots that live INSIDE the US than those that live outside.

10. I * HOPE* this asscan has been turned in to the secret service
One of the biggest reasons people give for not getting involved when they see something awful happening is that they assume "somebody else" called 911. (Or in this case, the secret service.)

We cannot ever assume somebody else has called. Better they get one too many reports than one too few...

11. They've had hundreds, if not thousands of reports of this
asshat. I'm sure they have someone on him 24/7. He's a bogus threat, though...just the average asshat with a blog, saying the things he can't do.
