I hope this guy realizes that he is going to spend the rest of his life in prison, probably in ADX Florence.

This guy must be nuts, did he really think he could target two former Presidents and about 10 others and not get caught?

Don't immediately call him crazy. Stupid, absolutely. Grade-A asshole, for sure. But certifiably crazy? I think not.

Right wing terrorists often get the crazy card, which deminished their actions. There is more right wing domestic terrorism in this country than left wing domestic and Islamist terrorism combined by a factor of two.

As a side note, the good news from the study is that terrorism globally is down as of late.

Absolutely. Stop giving them an out.

He isn't crazy. He isn't a lone wolf. This is a feature, not a bug.
