It’s the taboo subject you’re not supposed to talk about — Barack Obama’s safety in light of the rise of white supremacists in America. Threats to his safety were raised in Denver, Colo., during the Democratic National Convention where three men were arrested after allegedly plotting to assassinate Obama during his nomination speech.
Denver’s 9NEWS reports the FBI asked for more serious charges to be filed against at least one of the suspects arrested last week in a suspected plot to kill Barack Obama during the Democratic National Convention. Federal court documents obtained by reporter Jace Larson describe a plot to assassinate Obama in a suicide mission using a gun hidden inside a camera.
As Denver sweeps up the last of the confetti, The Colorado Independent rewinds its coverage on the Democratic National Convention.
The three men arrested Sunday suspected of a plot to kill Barack Obama will face weapons and drug charges but won’t face assassination-related charges, Colorado’s U.S. attorney said at a news conference Tuesday.
As I’ve made clear before I’m not a huge fan of the protesters here in Denver, but is it legal to surround them on all sides, hold them there, kick out the media, and then pepper spray everyone who’s left? Who couldn’t get out? The video available here on the Colorado Independent gives me the heebie-jeebies.
