So, have you heard the news coming out of the nation’s heartland? Three southwest Kansas men, Patrick Eugene Stein, Curtis Allen, and Gavin Wright, were arrested today for allegedly conspiring to blow up an apartment complex in Garden City that houses a mosque and serves as a home for many local Somali refugees, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. From the Washington Post:
“The “Crusaders” knew they wanted to kill Muslims — and with luck, use the “bloodbath” to ignite a religious war — but for months they couldn’t settle on a plan.
The easiest way would be to grab guns, go to the predominantly Somali-Muslim apartment complex they’d been surveilling and start kicking in doors, court documents said. They would spare no one, not even babies.
Stein allegedly remarked, “If you’re a Muslim I’m going to enjoy shooting you in the head,” before telling the group: “When we go on operations there’s no leaving anyone behind, even if it’s a one-year old, I’m serious. I guarantee you if I go on a mission those little f—— are going bye bye.”
In the end, they decided to set off bombs similar to the one Timothy McVeigh used in 1995 to kill 168 people in Oklahoma City. They planned to strike after the Nov. 8 election, investigators said. Curtis Allen, Gavin Wright and Patrick Eugene Stein face federal charges of conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction to blow up an apartment complex, a mosque and Muslim immigrants from Somalia, the Department of Justice announced Friday.”
But there’s more — Patrick Stein also had a Facebook group, the Kansas Liberty Restoration Committee , dedicated to the eventual overthrow of the United States government (details of "The Plan” can be found here.)
And, these cornfed commandos are loyal Trump supporters. On October 2, Stein posted an appeal on his FaceBook group’s page, requesting volunteers for security details which he planned to run at the Trump presidential rallies taking place in late October in Ohio and Pennsylvania. I suppose that if Donald Trump wins, Stein’s followers intend to put their revolutionary plans on hold for a while. Such good little Committee members...
