Ex-Congressional Candidate Plotted To Get Militia To Attack Muslim Group
Good news: Scumbag tea party taliban has been arrested.
Hopefully he has indoctrinated his children with his hate.
Former Tennessee congressional candidate Robert Doggart didn't think it would take much to attack a Muslim community in upstate New York: a small group of gunmen with assault rifles, some Molotov cocktails or a demolitions expert and, just in case, a machete.
"If it gets down to the machete, we will cut them to shreds," Doggart said on a call intercepted by the FBI, according to a criminal complaint.
The recently unsealed criminal complaint, dated April 13, alleged that Doggart had threatened to burn down several buildings in a Muslim community near Hancock, New York, nicknamed by its residents as "Islamberg" -- and even kill residents if it came down to that. He planned to enlist the help of members of a militia called "OAF" to carry out the plot.
Federal marshals arrested Doggart on April 10. He ultimately signed an agreement under which he would enter a guilty plea to a single charge of interstate communication of a threat and was released from custody on $30,000 bond.
