Guest American for Progress Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I remember back in April when former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura warned Barack Obama to be wary of a potential assassination attempt, saying that the government would target any independent politician who got close to the White House.

Luke_Wilbur Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) Here is a photo of two of the assailants. Tharin Gartrell (Left) and Nathan Johnson (Right) .... One of the suspects told police they were "going to shoot Obama from a high vantage point using a ... rifle ... sighted at 750 yards," Denver television station CDS4 is reporting. Police have told the television station that one of the suspects "was directly asked if they had come to Denver to kill Obama. He responded in the affirmative." The suspects were arrested on Sunday when local police arrested a man, identified by the television station as Tharin Gartrell, 28, who was driving a rented pickup truck erratically. CDS4 is reprrting that in his truck police found two high powered rifles with telescopic sites, as well as camouflage clothing, walkie-talkies, a bulletproof vest, a high powered spotting scope, licences in the names of various people, and the drug methamphetamine. One of the rifles is listed as stolen from Kansas. .... Edited August 26, 2008 by Luke_Wilbur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluto Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I think that Nathon Johnson character might be related to Cletus Spuckler. Take real close look and tell me if you see any family resemblance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
