I take that back, if we saw someone on tv do this we would complain about it being unrealistic.
This timeline is fucking crazy
Can he just go away for a very long time? And never have access to guns? That would be good, too.

The only race war I'm interested in is one involving that BRZ in the background

Charles are you back from the grave?
I find it interesting that guys like this who want to start a race war always think that this is the thing that's going to do it. Like we've made it through all the other hate crimes, injustices and large scale protests without erupting into a race war, but one more incident will do the trick.
Also interesting is how closely his plan is tied to the election. He isn't just trying to send a message before the election, he specifically thinks that his side needs a specific outcome in the election for his plan to succeed. This plan seems to be a direct consequence of current political environment and the messages coming from his preferred candidate and his supporters.
Now the article doesn't actually say which candidate needs to win in order to embolden violent white supremacists. But if you need 2 guesses, you should probably consider going back into the coma you've been in for the past decade, you're not going to like the future.
He's clearly insane, but you're right, it's still interesting how his "logic" works.
It's scary that these psychos think violence is the answer to their perceived problems. There's a line from The Boys that talks about this, I'm paraphrasing: they would rather see themselves as warriors against "secret forces of evil" than the lonely forgettable losers they are.
It's even more frightening to me that they live in some fantasy world where they think they can win a race war. Nobody here would win that. We'd all lose, and some other hostile nation would take full advantage of our domestic self-destruction. I'm worried it's not a fringe notion. I'm worried a significant percentage are deluding themselves along these lines of violent planning.
As corny as it sounds...United We Stand, Divided We Fall...is still true.

Helter Skelter 😮
Ironic last name for someone trying to start a race war.
Very Very ironic
The meaning of Prieto - Spanish: nickname for a dark-haired or dark-skinned man, from Old Spanish prieto ‘dark, black’.
Prieto was a vendor at gun shows in Prescott and would trade firearms from his personal collection, using only cash deals or trades to evade the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, the affidavit says, adding that this was corroborated through monitoring with the help of the source.
Maybe we should actually regulate gun shows...
Maybe we should actually regulate gun shows....
Pftt. Yeah sure.
Then how will the criminals and lunatics get weapons easily that live in blue states with strict gun laws?
Nobody ever thinks about the lunatics.

If he wants to fight that bad the gov't should send him elsewhere. I mean there are enough wars/conflicts in the world he could battle in instead of starting one in the US.
I hear Russia is always in need of more ~~fodder~~ troops lately.
But these people are ALWAYS cowards so they won't ever fight where there's a chance their victims would fight back.
Yeah, but that's less fun.
