Three men have been arrested by Denver police related to a possible plot to assassinate Sen. Barack Obama at his acceptance speech at Invesco Field on Thursday, Aug.28.
According to CBS4 Denver, and law enforcement officials, the potential plot began to unravel when on Sunday, Aug.24, police arrested 28 year old Tharin Gartrell after he was stopped by Aurora police in a routine traffic stop as he drove a rented truck. When they searched the vehicle, they found a bulletproof vest, two rifles with ammo, walkie talkies and drugs, two wigs, a rifle scope, fake ids and camouflage gear.
Based on information obtained, police then went after another individual, 33-year old Shaun Robert Adolph who as police closed in, jumped from the 6th floor window of a Glendale, Colorado hotel in an effort to flee. Authorities said he wore a ring with a swastika on his hand when arrested. he was staying at attempting to evade arrest, however, he was eventually apprehended.
32-year old Nathan Johnson, also one of the suspects currently being held at the Denver Jail told CBS4 that said his friends did not want Sen. Obama to be president and "did not believe Blacks belong in office."

In Dr. King's infamous words, "... Some began to say the threats, or talk about the threats that were out. What would happen to me from some of our sick white brothers"?
Why won't Barack Obama let White America in on the truth: they have not - and would never - transcend race.

I am proud of the work you are doing...I will be reading all of your and your colleagues posts.
News of potential dangers to Barach Obama is, unfortunately, no surprise to any Black man in America. I understand why Minister Farrakhan asked us to pray for the Obamas. America has never treated voices that lift the former slaves well. This is a chance for America to prove differently; but the burden of proof is on tthem.

Unfortunately, it appears that these men will NOT be charged with "conspiracy to commit murder", but will, instead, be prosecuted for "weapons possession" charges.
