I'm no drug expert, but I would think meth would be the last thing on earth you would want to be on if you needed steady hands for a long range sniper shot...

They already look like composite sketches. If like gives you lemons, you may as well go "do some crimes."

And that's why we need to come together to elect Barack Obama so that we can secure our future energy needs, provide universal health care and bring the troops home from Iraq.

Obama/Biden 2008!

I have a strong feeling that any armed, drug carrying nutjob within 100 miles of Obama will be labeled "potential assassin" from this point forward.

I'm not doubting that these scumbags are guilty. I am just sad that this won't be the last time we hear a story like this. And I am increasingly nervous about the reality of racism this election.

These guys were stopped for a routine traffic stop, and then the weapons were discovered. Note to bad guys: don't speed or run red lights.

The guy on the right is so obviously the model for Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel.

right on @2

If I was Obama, I'd pay for those to kids rehab, then have a long pow wow with them about racism.

@4 obviously a fake post.

But threat to Obama is very real to be sure.

Sad.

I've got $5 on @4 being the next "armed, drug carrying nutjob within 100 miles of Obama".

Wait 'til late october. Those fuckers are going to go C R A Z Y!

Also, @ 9: No pearly whites...they traded those in for meth.

Finally, Note to bad guys: don't speed or run red lights

You'd be surprised how hard that is when you're on meth.

let us pray that everyone who plots to assassinate obama is this brain-damaged and obvious about it.

would someone point out an obama "cultist" to me? obama SUPPORTERS seem to be the only rational people left in this fucked up place.

These geniuses probably should get a lawyer about now. Lawyer might want to tell them not to admit guilt to TV reporters. Or maybe not; I agree with 22.

Those two look like Hillary's base of support. Kidding, just kidding, don't mind me....

But you know the mother of one of them is Harriet Christian: the lady who called Obama an inadequate black man etc.

Most depressing part about this? JMG has some choice reactions from the nutjobs at Free Republic:

-"Staged. Like everything else at a convention."

-"I wonder how much these clowns got paid to pull this stunt."

-"This whole thing stinks of political theatre."

-"Hillary’s operatives are getting sloppy."

-"How does Obama think he could make it 4 months in the WH, let alone 4 years? "

-"It smells like a conspiracy invented by leftists to increase Obama’s popularity."
And that my friends, is seriously FUCKED UP.

Just exercising their God-granted second-amendment rights. Buncha freedom-haters crimping these fine, fine Americans' style.

To echo @10: Holy shit, but for a routine traffic stop, these idiots would have killed -somebody-, created a major panic, etc.

Or not. They sound like random crazies to me.

Just the kind you want driving around hopped up on meth with scope-sighted rifles.

Are they sure they really weren't on their way to an Old Reliable photo shoot, circa 1982?

Judging from a quick glance on google of Denver's topography, what kind of idiot brings camo to assassinate someone in downtown Denver.



"The shots came from the rooftop over there!"


"Couldn't be them! That's just a bush up there!"

@9:

Have you ever seen the dental hygeine of your tipical tweaker? They're lucky to even HAVE teeth, let alone have them be any color other than shit-brown.

Did you guys catch this part? Bloody hilarious.

Subsequently authorities went to the Cherry Creek Hotel in Glendale to contact an associate of Gartrell's. But that man, identified as Shawn Robert Adolph, 33, who was wanted on numerous warrants, jumped out of a sixth floor hotel window. Law enforcement sources say Adolph broke an ankle in the fall and was captured moments later.

Brilliant, these guys.
