White Supremacist Angry About Obama Was Assembling Radioactive 'Dirty' Bomb! (Maine)
http://bangornews.com/detail/99263.html


Son of bitch! I'm glad his wife shot him before he could use his device:


BELFAST, Maine — James G. Cummings, who police say was shot to death by his wife two months ago, allegedly had a cache of radioactive materials in his home suitable for building a “dirty bomb.”

According to an FBI field intelligence report from the Washington Regional Threat and Analysis Center posted online by WikiLeaks, an organization that posts leaked documents, an investigation into the case revealed that radioactive materials were removed from Cummings’ home after his shooting death on Dec. 9.

(...)

(The report) says that four 1-gallon containers of 35 percent hydrogen peroxide, uranium, thorium, lithium metal, thermite, aluminum powder, beryllium, boron, black iron oxide and magnesium ribbon were found in the home.



Cummings had joined a Neo-Nazi group:

An application for membership in the National Socialist Movement filled out by Cummings also was found in the residence, according to the report. Cummings’ wife, Amber B. Cummings, 31, told investigators that her husband spoke of “dirty bombs,” according to the report, and mixed chemicals in her kitchen sink. She allegedly told police that Cummings subjected her to years of mental, physical and sexual abuse. She also said that Cummings was “very upset” when Barack Obama was elected president.


I hope they root out all of his associates.

1. Now I understand why they wanted the focus on the swarthy brown terrorists...
They didn't want the competition.

2. How many more crazies are out there that we don't know about?
Plenty. Republicans are sure pissed off more than usual these days, and they're always pissed off.

7. y'know, there has been a recent upswing in violence from that quarter...
But no surprise there, really. The far Right have always been the most violent political faction in this country.

I'm for cracking down hard on them.

22. Explain "cracking down hard on them"...
What methods do you advocate using, and who is "them"?

27. "Cracking down hard on them"=
=arresting them and tossing their asses in jail for conspiracy to commit mass murder and possibly treason.

"Them"=anyone planning on committing mass murder and possibly treason.

34. That's Reasonable...
But, that isn't what the OP said:

"The far Right have always been the most violent political faction in this country. I'm for cracking down hard on them."

The OP seems to be advocating "cracking down" on an entire group based on political persuasion.

35. I take that sentence to mean...
Edited on Thu Feb-12-09 09:16 AM by skypilot
...that he is in favor of cracking down on the segment of the Right that is prone to violence, not simply the segment that we have strong political disagreements with. The former group is what usually comes to my mind when people talk about the FAR Right. Maybe "far right" means different things to different people.

21. Hey - don't slime the mentally ill with an association to conservatism.
Some people are really sick and get better with various treatments. Conservatives, not so much.

8. Ironic, isn't it, that he had just joined a socialist movement?
And was most likely one of the many misinformed screaming "socialist!" during the campaign.

11. Is the People's Democratic Republic of China really democractic?
Well, by the same token, the boneheads at the "National Socialist Movement" are not socialists. They're actually fascists of the virulently racist variety.


Good ol' false advertising.

13. Who's ever said that?
We're all very sure there's plenty of racists to go around. The ones in the south simply consider it to be heritage, and tend to be running the government.

14. He bought the uranium online????
The report stated that the uranium component was bought online from a U.S. company that was identified in the investigation, but not in the report.



How the hell did that happen?

25. It's sold by scientific supply companies. Check out UnitedNuclear.com.
The catch is to buy any substantial quantity would cost millions of dollars, and probably raise a few eyebrows.

28. I know where there is uranium, out in the open.
At the entrance to Arches National Park in Utah. There used to be a uranium refinery. They tore the site down but it's still radioactive. There's just a chain link fence.

16. First of all, I'd like to thank Mrs. Cummings for removing this piece of shit from the planet
I'm sure he WON'T be missed.... at least not by anyone with an IQ higher than their shoe size.

But my question is.... where the fuck did some dumbass Nazi find uranium? Joe Wilson went all the way to Niger and couldn't find any of that shit, so I'd be surprised if you could get it at the WalMart in Bangor Maine.

24. You can buy "uranium" over the internet...
Albeit only in small quantities, and typically in the form of low-level ore rather than concentrated metal.

19. "Dirty" bombs are more dangerous
to the idiot trying to build one than to any supposed target. Also, how did he get the uranium and other material? Those aren't found in any hardware store. :shrug:
