If you look long and hard enough

you will eventually find a white terrorist:

http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/...AID_MINNESOTA/

"MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The FBI believes authorities disrupted "a localized terror attack" in its planning stages when they arrested a man after converging on a western Minnesota mobile home that contained Molotov cocktails, suspected pipe bombs and firearms, the agency said Monday.

Buford Rogers, 24, of Montevideo, was arrested Friday and charged with one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. He remained in federal custody Monday and it was not clear if he had an attorney.

"The FBI believed there was a terror attack in its planning stages, and we believe there would have been a localized terror attack, and that's why law enforcement moved quickly to execute the search warrant on Friday to arrest Mr. Rogers," FBI spokesman Kyle Loven said Monday.

Loven declined to elaborate about the location of the alleged target, other than to say it was believed to be in Montevideo, a city of about 5,000 people about 130 miles west of Minneapolis. He also declined to say whether Rogers was believed to be acting alone or as part of a group, or if other arrests were expected.

"This is a very active investigation," he said.

In a news release Monday, the FBI said it believed "the lives of several local residents were potentially saved" by the search and arrest, and said "several guns and explosive devices were discovered." The agency said the alleged terror plot was discovered through analysis of intelligence gathered by local, state and federal authorities.

"Cooperation between the FBI and its federal, state, and local partners enabled law enforcement to prevent a potential tragedy in Montevideo," Christopher Warrener, the special agent in charge of the FBI office in Minneapolis, said in the release.

According to a federal affidavit obtained by The Associated Press on Friday, FBI agents from the domestic terrorism squad searched the property at the mobile home park in Montevideo and discovered the Molotov cocktails, suspected pipe bombs and firearms. The affidavit said Buford was there at the time of the search, and one firearm recovered from Buford's residence was a Romanian AKM assault rifle.

In an interview with authorities, Rogers admitted firing the weapon on two separate occasions at a gun range in Granite Falls, the affidavit said. Rogers has a past conviction for felony burglary and is not allowed to have a firearm.

Rogers is expected to make his initial appearance in federal court this week.

Rogers' 2011 felony burglary conviction stems from an incident in Lac qui Parle County. He also has a 2009 misdemeanor conviction for dangerous handling of a weapon in Hennepin County, as well as other criminal violations, according to online court records."

Of course while you are doing all this looking you may overlook 1 or two non-white ones.....

You don't suppose the authorities had been tipped off about this guy by the Russians and the Saudi's do you?

Sounds like my garage when I was about 13 or 14.

I can see the EXORD now:

-Go find a white guy.
-A white guy with a gun.
-Make sure he lives in a trailer-park.

Then the momentum builds and everyone starts jumping in on the order: "Make sure he has a redneck name". "See if you can find a felon." "Make sure he's quoted some anti-gubmint drivel in the past." "Can we get him from a family that likes to wear camo...??"

" OK - now let's get back to fundraising..."

Come on....a dude named Buford who lives in a trailer park...??? I'd have his head examined if he DIDN'T have a rfle and some bomb-making stuff laying around.

Will he be, ultimately, acquitted, like the last fabricated white terrorists, the Hutaree Militia?

Maybe they're actually looking at 'all' potential terrorist types - it's a big ocean for them to be trolling out there and one never knows what they're gonna pull in with their nets.

Buford was probably getting ready for his trip to join al-Shabaab in Somalia.

If so, they could use him 'cause a bunch of those Twin City contributions have gone on to their reward.

That's a reasonable point, but if the suspect were a muslim (maybe) terrorist, who's (perhaps existent) plan was thwarted, do you think it would have made the MSM? Not sarcasm, just curious of your opinion.
