Well it looks like the people that we have to worry about most are not those that walk around with turbans. Nor are they people that are dark-skinned, and get on their shins to pray. They are, our very own, pasty-white, caucasian-Americans.
According to the Anchorage Daily News (ADN), the top militia-men and one woman, had amassed a large quantity of destructive weaponry “including grenades and .30- and .50-caliber machine guns, with which to carry out retaliatory strikes against law enforcement officials, according to court documents.”
With these weapons, the Alaska Peacekeeper’s Militia had planned to kidnap and/or kill state judges and state troopers.
Why would they do this? It was a retaliatory strike against the state for a gun charge against Francis Cox nearly a year ago.
According to the ADN, Cox never showed up for court, and had been planning the attack for days prior to his court date. Allegedly, the FBI has a recording of Cox telling his militia members ”I know you’re ready to die, but you have to be ready to kill.”
Cox also instructed his militia members to react with violence if the authorities attempted to arrest him (Cox).
Cox had also devised a “241 plan” which meant that if the authorities arrested him, the militia was to kidnap two state workers, either judges or policemen, and if they killed him that they should kill those judges and/or policemen.
So, basically, shall the police and the CIA etc begin racially profiling white people just like they do to Middle-Eastern people in this country? This isn’t the first time a bunch of pasty-white caucasians attempted to terrorize the people of this great nation.
About a year ago, another group that called themselves the Hutaree, which is described by the NY Times to be a right-wing Christian militia, had planned to kill a police officer (name withheld), and then reign a fiery destruction at the funeral. The NY Times story is here.
So, since there are a bunch of crazy white people running around, guns in one hand and a bible in the other, that plan to kill police officers, judges, etc. shouldn’t we treat them in the same way that we treat dark-skinned Middle-Easterners? Should we send those pasty-white crazie to Abu Ghraib?
Or, better yet, we should begin racially profiling each and every single caucasian American that gets pulled over or attempts to go through an airport or gun show. Does this seem far-fetched? Of course it does. My point is that it is just as far fetched to profile dark-skinned Americans, due to the actions of a select few, as it is to do it to the pasty-white people for the same reason.
Religious and political fanatics come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, so we shouldn’t be afraid of the guy that runs our local convenient store or motel. No longer should we be in fear of those that look different than us. Now is the time to realize that we cannot be afraid of any one group because they can all become crazy. Instead, we should let local law enforcement and intelligence do what it is designed to do, which is root out those crazies, regardless of the color of their skin or where they are born.

Ah, someone who is against the rights of God-fearing Americans. Of course we have to watch out for pasty-white caucasians. THAT has never changed. Blaming them for protecting their own need to murder and/or pillage is a little hypocritical, though, don’t you think? Haven’t you ever been thirsty and then took the situation into your own hands by finding a faucet and filling a cup with water? I just don’t see the difference. Oh, and I only read about 17% of this blog entry, but I can already tell that your writing skills could use some decimation…Show-off. Maybe if you’re going to ‘do the research’ for all of us out here, you can try catering to our strange sense of grammatical right-of-way and jilted prose. It’s people like you that make this internet a bed of lowered self-esteem.
You only read 17% of my blog post because you felt violated by my proper use of grammar?
Bye, Bye Miss American Pie; today is the day the music dies – the day that people with grammatical skills are looked down upon. Oh well, at least you got the gist of the story during the first 17%. Unfortunately, what you failed to get was the satire involved in the post. Had you read the rest of it, you would have realized the sarcastic nature of my proposal to racially profile white people.
Oh, I got the sarcastic nature of your proposal…but I’m not sure if you got my brotherly witticisms. Had I read the rest of it, I might have been tempted to let go of my constant need to play Devil’s Advocate. It’s the fact you need to point out the sarcasm that worries me. HOW sarcastic is your post if you rely on the final 83% to ‘finish the job’. Weak.
Well I suppose I misinterpreted your response. If so, then I offer an apology to you.
Thank you for visiting my blog and feel free to leave feedback where you like.
Gosh, that last comment of mine is awesome.
