Terrorist arrested

but very little coverage

An armed Missouri man arrested for pulling the emergency brake on an Amtrak train in rural western Nebraska is allegedly a white supremacist who now faces a terrorism charge, according to newly unsealed court papers.

Taylor Michael Wilson, 26, belongs to a neo-Nazi group, traveled to Charlottesville for alt-right rallies, and talked about "killing black people," his cousin told FBI agents, according to the affidavit filed in federal court.

Authorities found an arsenal in a secret compartment behind his refrigerator, and white supremacy images and how-to guides to killing on his phone, the affidavit says.

Wilson — who has a history of mental health problems and drug use, according to officials — was arrested in October in Nebraska after he allegedly barged into a secure area of an Amtrak train and employed the emergency brake, forcing the train to lurch to a stop.

"The facts set forth in the complaint affidavit indicate that defendant had great potential and the inclination to cause great harm to persons on the train and perhaps others in a nearby community if the train had actually wrecked," a magistrate wrote in a detention order this week.

There (are) good people on both sides, and he’s one of Trump’s good ones.

Not true....not sure what news channels you listen to but it had a lot of coverage when the attack happened and was all over the news yesterday at the start of the trial!

Stop telling fibs Mikey!

Very little coverage, but yet you found it on NBC.

Such incessant whining.

I'm talking about the limited coverage of the trial....

He's on trial now, and yesterday he said he was looking to kill Corbyn.

Yet, on the very next day, it got no mention at all on BBC Breakfast News. I didn't know the trial was on and what Darren Osborne said until I went online.

My mum listens to Radio Four every morning and this story was relegated to news in brief. The item was so short she didn't catch who Osborne really wanted to kill.

If it was a Muslim terrorist threatening Theresa May, it would've been front page news....

What did both channels think was more important? An ex soldier breaking into the houses of rich toffs and slapping around their women before stealing their jewellery.

It is true that the coverage of that case isn't getting the coverage that it should get,it's on the back burner.He should get 25 years or life like the Muslim terrorist,but I doubt he'll get more than 10.

 
NineMiles 2018-01-31 18:36:18

It was on all the news channels, both radio and TV.... the main newspapers also carried it.

BBC

This is simply a case of the anti-Brit twats on here making up lies!

In case you both missed it, the guy was found guilty today of murder and attempted murder and will be sentenced tomorrow.

It is in the mainstream media if you want to check for yourselves! razz

I am quite perplexed at the response of posters who are alluding to the sanitized reporting of domestic terrorists vs. islamic terrorists.

Would you rather they not report on Islamic terrorism? Or you would want them to ramp up the coverage of domestic terrorism?

Even when domestic terrorism is reported, there is a prevailing sense that it is not "properly" reported.

Either way, what is the point, really?

Thanks for the information , I look at
MSNBC & CNN from 7.00pm until 2.00 a.m
from 7.00pm to 12.00 midnight I look
at MSNBC . Then from midnight to 2.00
a.m I look at CNN .

I honestly have not seen or heard about what you have stated here .Perhaps that was due to coverage about the potential Release of the Nunes Memo .

I also did not see any news on it.

He's got life imprisonment with a minimum of 43 years behind bars.
