Police in Denver say that a traffic stop might have averted an assassination attempt on Barack Obama. Police have four people in custody on weapons and drug charges and if this is true, other charges will come.

The group had rifles, camouflage clothing, and claim to have sighted the rifles from 750 yards. They stated they were going to kill Obama while he was giving his acceptance speech.

The police report that one of the persons was believed to belong to a white supremacist group.

I am glad they caught these guys. There is no place in our country for this kind of stuff and I hope these idiots go to jail for a very long time. I do have to wonder why they admitted their plot. All they had to do was say they received the rifles for some of the drugs and they would not be in nearly as much trouble as they are now.

I hope the cops have a handle on this. Unlike the left, who would love to see Republicans assassinated, I do not want to see this happen to anyone. It would be a tragedy. It would also set off the biggest riots in history and we don’t need that.

It only takes a few idiots to cause trouble. Good thing the police were alert. With all the morons protesting there this could have slipped through the cracks and caused a real problem.
