View Full Version : Double Standards?

Well, if this isn't a case of double standards when deciding who is/might be a terrorist, and a classic case of racial profiling being used to the miscreant's advantage, I don't know what it is. . .

Police Seize Huge Cache Of Explosives From Colorado Home, But Say It's Not Enough For An Act Of Terrorism

http://bp1.blogger.com/_e3gDaHO8VLQ/RnleQ4OTfBI/AAAAAAAABf0/3dIAuvh3nok/s1600-h/ronald_swerlein_2.jpg


A Colorado man is free on $50,000 bond after a police search of his house discovered a cache of weapons, explosives and volatile chemicals.

Ronald Swerlein of Longmont, CO, attracted the attention of his neighbors by setting off explosions in his garage. Police had been seeking tips after several small homemade explosives were found in a local parking lot nearly three weeks ago.

A police search of the Swerlein home turned up hundreds of volatile chemicals and other weapons, as well as books about bomb-making and revenge.

Swerlein says he's been experimenting with various chemicals to use as rocket fuel.

According to reports from Colorado, police confiscated nitroglycerin, ammonium nitrate, PETN, thermite, and sodium azide, none of which are used as rocket fuels. They also discovered laboratory-grade glassware worth thousands of dollars.

Ammonium nitrate is the basic ingredient in so-called fertilizer bombs; PETN is an ingredient in plastic explosives; sodium azide produces a toxic gas when it comes into contact with metal; and nitroglycerin is a well-known (and extremely unstable) liquid explosive. Thermite, as most 9/11 researchers know, can be used to cut steel and may have been involved in the demolition of the three World Trade Center buildings which disintegrated on September 11, 2001.

Police detonated the nitroglycerin in Swerlein's driveway.

Longmont Police Sgt. Tim Lewis said the police had seized "cartloads of weapons ... more than I have ever seen in our armory."

Despite the size of the cache and the volatility of the chemicals involved, Sgt. Lewis told reporters that Swerlein had not created enough chemical explosives “for a terrorist action,” although he did have enough to damage his home and others in his neighborhood.

Sgt. Lewis also said, "This investigation is still in its infancy. We're still trying to determine what his intent was."

Considering that the perpetrators of the most extravagant terrorist attack ever committed on American soil were allegedly armed only with box-cutters, it is incomprehensible that a cache of weapons and explosives larger than the Longmont police have in their armory could be described as insufficient for a terrorist action.

How much nitroglycerin does one need to commit an act of terrorism? Or does that depend on one's religion or the color of one's skin?

And why has this case attracted so little national attention? Or does that depend on religion and skin color, too?



I wonder how much time it would have taken for the police to have shipped this person off to Gitmo if he was colored, and/or Muslim. . .

like it says in the article and what D quoted...they just started to investigate dude. and it's not like he had written out plans to do anything or was making training videos. other than a book about revenge.

and where does it even say the color of his skin or religion?

but it is kinda weird to not think that maybe he ha somteing in mind other than stump removal. specially with thermite. but like it said..they just started to investigate

Thats exactly what I was thinking.

Here is an actual news report on this:


BOULDER - Curiosity about rocket fuels may have sparked the backyard blasts that put a retired electrical engineer and inventor behind bars. A raid at his home uncovered a stockpile of explosives and ammunition, police said.
Ronald Swerlein, who allegedly rousted his neighbors with explosions in the middle of the night, was told Monday he must post $50,000 to get out of the Boulder County Jail.

Swerlein will be formally charged Friday, possibly for possession of explosive devices after authorities removed more than 400 chemicals from his Longmont home over the weekend. He also could face drug charges for allegedly grinding up prescription pain medication and snorting it, prosecutors said.

According to a police report, the 50-year-old had been experimenting with small explosions at his home at 2404 Sunset Drive in an effort to learn more about rocket fuel technology.

Since he's an American citizen he doesn't qualify for Gitmo. He's also not charged with terrorism. He's not being profiled. Profiling is for the purpose of identifying suspects not for prosecution. Public sentiment only has to do with a case when its liberals opinions. And those are silly and can be ignored as they are never relavent.

American citizens have been interned at Gitmo and other torture camps. Not Anglo Americans, of course. They have been Americans who just happen to have a Middle Eastern background. Many of them are still missing.
Even now, there remain attempts to connect Middle Eastern terror groups to Tim McVey and Terry Nichols. We don't want to consider the outsider Christian groups of Waco and Jonestown. It is much more convenient to find a particular group of hate, like Muslims. We did it during WWII, and we're doing pretty much the same thing now.
That is how Hitler got away with The Holocaust. He spent several years in the early 1930s, pulling up elaborate charades to convince the German people that Jews were to blame for everything.
I keep waiting for the Bushies to come up with their own version of Kristallnacht, where they rob everyone of a certain faith of their American rights and privileges. If you don't see the parallels to Kristallnacht, you either have your eyes closed or you don't want to believe. Look it up.

Would you like me to go down the list of terrorist acts last week in Iraq alone?No. But considering your line of inquiry earlier, I thought you'd be more interested in the Centennial Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta on July 27, 1996; or the bombing of an abortion clinic in Sandy Springs on January 16, 1997; or the bombing of the Otherside Lounge, in Atlanta on February 21, 1997; or the bombing of the clinic in Birmingham, Alabama on January 29, 1998, killing officer Robert Sanderson and critically injuring nurse Emily Lyons; all performed by Eric Robert Rudolph, a Catholic with connections to the Christian Identity movement.

I figured you might also be interested in the 280 letters that threatened to contain anthrax sent by Clayton Lee Waagner, who was "on a mission from God," or the terrorist activities of Paul Jennings Hill, an excommunicated minister, formerly affiliated with both the Presbyterian Church in America and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, and connected to the Army of God--he murdered Dr. John Britton and James Barrett, inujring Dr. Barrett's wife. The murder of Dr. David Gunn in Pensacola, Florida on March 11, 1993 might be of interest too.

You might want to check out Rev. Michael Bray, member of the Army of God. Here's a guy who was convicted of two counts of conspiracy and one count of possessing unregistered explosive devices in relation to 10 bombings of women's health clinics and offices of liberal advocacy groups in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia in 1985.

Noteworthy is James Charles Kopp, affiliated with "The Lambs of Christ," this terrorist performed the 55th trimester abortion of Dr. Barnett Slepian in 1998.

But if you prefer to explore terrorism outside of the US, I see no point in rehashing the stuff we hear about in Iraq every day--why not look into the activities of the National Liberation Front of Tripuraand the Nagaland Rebels in India, or the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda? Or is that a bit too embarassing to you?

I disagree. Racial profiling is WRONG, as it unfairly targets a specific group of people based upon irrelevant and discriminatory factors such as religion and skin color amongst many. In addition, it goes against American principles of freedom.

How would you feel if Caucasians were racially profiled daily instead of other races?

Probably wouldnt care for it. But if there were caucasions waging war on others, killing citizens, and swearing genocide, id expect it.

Which is exactly why id make sure i beat the crap out of the guys trying to do that because i wouldnt want to get annoyed because of others.
