Artless and Bored

True to form, Bush and the Republican Party are mum when it comes to our own home grown terrorists, unless of course their skin color happens to be anything other than white. This is a no brainer when it comes to whodunnit. Matthew Hale, jailed leader of the World Church of The Creator, a white power organization, communicated, albeit cryptically, with an informer that he would like to have Judge Lefkow killed. Not that it would take much for these gun toting loonies to take a shot at anyone, but maybe his being possibly being sentenced to life imprisonment this week has something to do with this? But there is no outrage from the right and especially President Bush. It stands to reason, since recently not a single word was uttered by former U.S. Attorney General John "Confederacy Apologist" Ashcroft in regards to the capture of a white supremacist who had a locker full of armaments that could cause a whole lot of death and mayhem, and the man had a plan to inflict this damage and death. Not one word. What is it with these dumbass White Supremacists? I guess someone is pissing in the Gene pool again.

Haunted by Threats, U.S. Judge Finds New Horror

CHICAGO, March 1 - For Joan Humphrey Lefkow, the nightmare began shortly after her appointment as a federal judge in 2000, when an Oregon group's lawsuit to block white supremacists from using a name it had trademarked, World Church of the Creator, landed in her lap.

Soon, Judge Lefkow found her home address and family photographs posted along with violent threats on hate-filled Web sites. Last April, one of the Aryan movement's most notorious leaders was convicted of plotting her murder.

On Tuesday, Judge Lefkow was under armed federal guard in an undisclosed place, mourning the deaths of Michael F. Lefkow, her husband of 30 years, and Donna Humphrey, her 89-year-old mother, whom she found dead of gunshots to the head in their basement the evening before. More Here

Suspicion falls on white supremacist organizations in the execution of a federal judge's husband and mother in Chicago.

March 2, 2005  |  A U.S. federal judge returned home on Monday night to find her mother and husband murdered less than a year after a white supremacist was convicted for attempting to have her killed. District Judge Joan Lefkow found her 64-year-old husband, Michael, and 90-year-old mother, Donna Grace Humphrey, lying in a pool of blood in her basement with single gunshot wounds to the head. The house had been broken into and two .22 caliber casings were found on the floor, suggesting an execution-style murder.

Humphrey was disabled and could walk only with the assistance of two sticks. Neighbors told the Chicago Tribune that they had seen Lefkow run into the street screaming after discovering the bodies.

Chicago police warned against rushing to conclusions about the motive for the murders or identity of the killer, but attention inevitably focused on the white supremacist movement. Within the past two weeks, federal agents in Chicago received a bulletin saying the Aryan Brotherhood might be planning to harm "law enforcement and their families." Monday was the 12th anniversary of the raid on the cult compound in Waco, Texas, which has become a rallying point for right-wing militia groups, and the Lefkows have long been targets.
