I Know Nobody Wants to Think About This, But...
You have to keep this in mind. I know this conversation has been had by everybody. Everybody, from every race. How long would it be before a race-driven crackpot got close enough to take a shot at Obama? Will there be an incident? Not if the Secret Service does their job well. But there are, unfortunately, people out there that don't want a black man as president. And they'll do almost anything to carry out their twisted mission.
We've already heard about those two white supremacists that wanted to kill President-Elect Obama and dozens of innocent schoolchildren at an all black school. That's just one case. And these guys knew they were going to die trying, but apparently were still determined enough to plan a robbery of a gun shop for more weapons. ATF Special Agent Jim Cavanaugh said, "They said that would be their last, final act - that they would attempt to kill Sen. Obama. They didn't believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying." Surely there are even more dangerous, more competent crazies out there. God forbid any harm should come to the new president, but the Secret Service better be on their toes with this guy, man.
Of course if it's just plain ol' racists and white supremacists that supposedly hate Obama, he's got nothing to worry about if this is true.
Weird, huh?
But seriously, Obviously I hope nothing happens. The last thing America needs is right now is a tragedy of that magnitude, coupled with the violent aftermath that would surely follow.
Because of the article, you may think if the KKK aren't planning anything, and they're the biggest racists around and all that, so why worry? Well, first of all, stupid question. Second, come on. The Klan are a bunch of idiots. They wouldn't have the know-how or tenacity to even think to attempt something like that. It would be, also as the story mentioned, a loner. Someone who feels he or she (although assassins have historically have been male) has nothing to lose and can be more inconspicuous or covert. Strangely enough, it would be another historical lone gunman. Would it be another case for conspiracy fodder for the next 50 years, or would it be on camera so there would be no doubt?
Although there was an attempt on President Bush on May 7, 2005 and on his father April 13, 1993 (and of course the ones on President Clinton that probably didn't think things through like on September 12, 1994 when Frank Corder nose-dives his Cessna into the White House lawn or just over a month later on October 29, Francisco Duran tried to empty his semi-automatic from atop the north lawn ) there hasn't been an bonafide attempt that almost worked since March 30, 1981.
Let's just hope there isn't another for at least that long.
