McDonald County white supremacist Robert Joos pleaded not guilty to federal weapons charges during a hearing today in Springfield.
Earlier this month, Joos was indicted with additional charges- two counts of unlawful transport of firearms and one count transporting explosive materials interstate.
Joos is being held without bond on those charges and a charge of being a felon illegally possessing a firearm.
Joos was arrested in connection with a federal investigation of a racially-motivated 2004 bombing in Scottsdale, Ariz. National white supremacist leader Dennis Mahon and his brother Daniel were charged with that crime.
I'm not trying to stand up here for White Supremacists. But Joos is a victim of overzealous prosecution. All he did was have a gun on his premises. As for the other information, Joos was not involved with any bombings. He has never, to my knowledge, killed anyone. And he is a peaceful, hippie-like nutcase who really wouldn't hurt a fly.
ReplyDeleteHis biggest crime is being involved with a lot of crazy people who are dangerous.
Wasn't Charles Manson also a peaceful, hippie-type nutcase who really wouldn't hurt a fly, or even a spider? Yet, a bunch of kids willingly did his bidding and murdered at least seven people (some say the total was much higher) in 1969.
ReplyDeleteHitler was just a fun-loving painter, too.
Sheesh!
