Talking Points Memo: Times Tough All Over (Parts 1 and 2)

[meegbear]

Times Tough All Over
The ATF busted the home of Massachusetts technology consultant Gregory Girard after they were tipped to the fact that he was stockpiling guns, explosives, military camouflage clothing, knives, handcuffs, bulletproof vests and helmets, night vision goggles, medicine, and six months' worth of food supplies. According to police, Girard feared the imminent imposition of martial law and was preparing for "Armageddon."

Times Tough All Over, Pt. 2
Today in Monterey, California, Nathan Augustine, 35, pleaded no contest to arson charges after confessing to throwing a Molotov cocktail into the Creative Visions tattoo parlor after the tattoo artists refused to give him a tattoo with a swastika and crosshairs overlaid on President Obama's face.

Augustine was apparently also responsible for a vandalism spree in the first half of 2009 in which swastikas and the phrases "kill Obama" and "death to Obama" were painted around the city.

There was also the restaurant Augustine firebombed after they didn't give him a job.
