https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2015/11/13/race-war-plot-leads-five-arrests-federal-state-chargesRonald Chaney Jr. and Terry Chaney are not currently facing federal charges nor are they identified as co-conspirators in the alleged plan to start a race war, targeting blacks and Jews. That could change, however, when the case is presented to a federal grand jury for indictment.
At this point, federal court documents say Doyle and Chaney III and others known and unknown to the FBI ascribe to a white supremacy extremist version of the Asatru faith. It is a form of Odinism -- a neo-Pagan religion that reveres various Norse gods, including Thor.
During the week of Sept. 20, the FBI received information that Doyle and others were going to meet at Doyles residence in Chesterfield, Va., on Sept. 27 to discuss acting out in furtherance of their extremist beliefs by shooting or bombing the occupants of black churches and Jewish synagogues.
Well, I certainly hope we aren't going to take any Virginian refugees!

(16,286 posts)for speaking, we can finally start to get the teaparty and GOP to admit that they do indeed want to either kill or enslave all non whites, gays, etc.
We know it is what they want, we just need them to say it out loud.

(25,966 posts)On the one hand, they're polytheistic pagans, so they ought to be horrified. But on the other hand, they hate all the right people, so I wonder if they're willing to overlook this inconvenient paganism in the name of their shared bigotry.
