Pookie, Ray Ray and Tre'quan: Big Time Terrorists

Okay! I'm finally going to say something without laughing too hard. I will say I have some ineresting reactions to black folks being caught up in high profile "crimes". When the D.C. Snipers were on the loose and taunting the police who were looking for a white male, one small detail in their list of demands put a stop in my heart and the idea in my head that they were black (won't say what it is because that makes me laugh too). Turns out I was right!  That is why I think I can say that these ... I can't even say amateurs ... are no real threat and if this is all Bush and Gonzales can come up with in their dragnet, we are in saaaad shape. This is like fishing in the ocean for sharks and coming up with lake perch. They need to throw these little fishees back.

While the seven “brothers” arrested last week for plotting to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago and a federal building in Miami had the will to kill, they had little means to carry it out, government officials said.

“This group was more aspirational than operational,” said FBI Director John Pistole, speaking in a news conference Thursday, a day after federal agents swarmed a warehouse in the poor, mostly Black section of Miami known as Liberty City and cut down a large metal door with the blowtorch. The group allegedly used the warehouse as headquarters.

The seven men charged in the plot — ages 22 to 32 — thought they had hooked up with al-Qaeda but were actually conspiring with an FBI informant, according to the Feds. Five are U.S. citizens, one is a legal immigrant from Haiti and the other is a Haitian national who was in this country illegally.

A four-count indictment handed up Thursday named Narseal Batiste as the ringleader, saying he had recruited and trained the alleged co-conspirators beginning in November 2005 to “wage war against the United States government” and to level the buildings.

According to the indictment, Batiste met several times in December 2005 with the informant, who claimed to be an al-Qaeda member, and asked for combat boots, uniforms, machine guns, radios, vehicles and $50,000 to help carry out their deeds. He even boasted that his terrorist acts would “be just as good or greater than 9/11,” the indictment says.

Uniforms, boots, machine guns, (well okay the machine guns are kinda scary) and radios? Doesn't it seem like they were more focused on the outfits?

I know that any black male's face may scare some or many white Americans but let's get real here! I don't think those dudes could bust a grape let alone blow up the Sears Tower. Save the Hatian dudes (both the legal and illegal one) have any of them even been outside of Miami or Florida?  Come on now! I cannot stop laughing! They aren't even 1/10th as scary looking as Willie Horton ... Maybe if we got them all to yell "BOO!" at the same time, I'd get serious ...

Just more colored folks to add to the penal system ... Maybe that's the real goal anyhow.
