Plot to kill Barack Obama: Three 'white supremacists' arrested

[tricky]

Mr Obama is due to become the first black candidate to accept the nomination of a major political party on Thursday, the final day of the Democratic Convention, at Invesco Field, an open air stadium that holds some 75,000 people.
CBS4, a Denver radio station, reported that one of the suspects told authorities they were “going to shoot Obama from a high vantage point using a ... rifle ... sighted at 750 yards". When one of the suspects "was directly asked if they had come to Denver to kill Obama", a CBS4 source said, “he responded in the affirmative".
Fox News reported that the three men might have links to Sons of Silence, an outlaw motorcycle group, and white supremacists.
Authorities said that the three people has been arrested on firearms and drug charges.
Two rifles, one with a telescopic sight, walkie-talkies, a bulletproof vest, licenses in the names of other people and methamphetamine were found in a truck that was stopped on Sunday morning. One of the rifles was listed as stolen from Kansas.
Tharin Gartrell, 28, was in the rented pick-up truck when he was pulled over in Aurora, a Denver suburb, for driving in an erratic manner.
Police then went to the Cherry Creek Hotel in Denver, about four miles from Invesco Field, to pursue Shawn Robert Adolph, 33, who was already wanted on numerous warrants.
Adolph jumped out of a sixth floor hotel window, breaking an ankle, and was arrested. Police sources said he was wearing a swastika and is suspected of having ties to white supremacist organisations.
A third man, Nathan Johnson, 32, an associate of Gartrell and Adolph, was also arrested and is said to have told police that the two men "planned to kill Barack Obama at his acceptance speech". Natasha Gromek, Johnson’s girlfriend, was arrested on a drugs charge.
The Secret Service, FBI and the US Joint Terrorism Task Force are all investigating the alleged plot.
Troy Eid, a US Attorney sought to play down the incident. “We’re absolutely confident there is no credible threat to the candidate, the Democratic National Convention, or the people of Colorado,” he said in a statement.
A US government official said: “It’s premature to say that it was a valid threat or that these folks have the ability to carry it out.”
He added: “It could also turn out that these were nothing but a bunch of knuckleheads, meth-heads.”

I was wondering how long it would take for some Illinois Nazis to get busted for some shit like this. Why is it I wasn't surprised in the least to see that methamphetamines were a factor?

Looks like these guys were about as much of a threat to Obama, as the "terrorists" that were trying to knock down the Sears tower from Florida.
