Depending on your sources & your level of paranoia, either a couple of racist dingbats were arrested around Denver’s trashier motels Monday, or an elaborate plot to assassinate Barack Obama was busted up by clever Colorado cops. In any case, a trio of local losers are now in jail (again), and at least one of them mumbled something about wanting to murder our new president.
Aurora Police arrested the first man, 28-year-old Tharin Gartrell of Centennial, early Sunday morning after a routine traffic stop. During the traffic stop, officers found two rifles, boxes of ammunition, one rifle scope, a bullet proof vest, walkie-talkies and methamphetamines. Gartrell is being held in the Arapahoe County jail in lieu of $50,000 bond and has a felony criminal record.
Aurora Police say a second man, 32-year-old Nathan Johnson, was arrested at 4:30 a.m. on Sunday morning at a hotel near Interstate 25 and Belleview Avenue. He is being held by Denver Police. A third man, 33-year-old Shawn Adolf of Greeley, was arrested at Cherry Creek Hotel in Glendale on Monday.
Ha ha, last name is “Adolf.”
Well … are these just normal rural Westerners out for a “good time” or … ah, that’s the same thing. Jesus christ.
3 arrested after alleged threats to kill Obama [9 News Denver]
Microcephaly?
Who could consider these assholes the shining example of the “white” “race” let alone the human race?
Ain’t no intelligence shining from those eyes, ever.
People think of South Park as a made-up place, but Colorado really does have a whole class of redneck, white trash mountainfolk. When you’re outside of Denver and there are no skihills in sight, just imagine Kenny’s parents.
But the guy pictured above looks so nice and charming.
who knew that meth could distort one’s facial bone structure that way?
…it’s gotta be the lighting.
He’s just a squirrel hunter. He needs the bullet-proof vest. You city folks have no idea how mean those squirrels can get.
Methamphetamine? In Colorado, but outside a mega-church? Hard to believe.
He looks like he might be a friend of Larry Sinclair.
Hotels and rifles just sounds like a fun weekend fling with the missus in Colorado.
Wait — so if some hobos in a warehouse in Florida ask an FBI agent for al-Qaida uniforms it’s a major terrorist plot, but if three guys get arrested with sniper rifles and a bulletproof vest, it’s “a methamphetamine and firearms case?!” Um…okay — we as a nation have lost all perspective.
*Hotels, rifles and meth
Cletus the Slack Jawed Failed AssAssin…
They call me Adolf of Greeley, bane to all Poles, backstabber of Russians, and gasser of Jews.
Did the government invent meth to get rid of people like this? Nah, probably not. The government doesn’t really pull off such worthwhile programs with such efficiency anymore. Still, it’s worth a try.
Good thing these guys had guns. In case anyone tried to steal their meth or guns, they could have defended themselves.
No possible good can come of naming your kid “Tharin”.
Is this best that Blackwater can get? I guess all the good mercenaries are still in Iraq pulling down $10,000/month.
I bet these guys are voting for McCain for sure now. Those Democrats are just a bunch of meth grabbers.
That young man is neither clean nor articulate.
I don’t know much about prison life, but I’ll bet attempting to kill the first black president gets you an ass raping or two by the black inmates.
looks like a cross between meth and airline maintenance crew.
I hope they don’t lock these guys up for five and a half years, because then they would be PREZDENT!
Yeah, they probably would have been caught on their way to do the deed, but it really took a lucky stop to catch these douchebags with guns and ammo, even though they’re all drug-addled felons?
Oh, never mind. I live in Arizona. This is totally believable.
oh, and call them meth-mouthed, racist felons. McCain calls him his base. Worked in AZ.
So, where were these oh-so-clever Colorado cops when JonBenet needed them?
TexasCowGirl: Yeah, but on the other hand, they’re now probably the most famous meth addicts in the world. So that’s got to be worth something.
The 3-Legged Man: ba-zing!
TexasCowGirl: Don’t underrate the usefulness of having rotten meth teeth as a future bitch in a prison setting. A lot less pain getting those bad boys out.
TexasCowGirl: your kidding, right? white inmates don’t rape? you texans and sense of punishment just kills me. just kill them. their white trash meth loosers. right? the black rape thing is some lurid texas fantasy. the big black elephant in the room so to speak. let’s have a trial first, cow girl. what you say?
Larry McAwful: You’re right. And meth causes users to be hypersexual so they might enjoy the ass rapings. Probably been selling the buttsecs to get a fix for a while now.
sezme: It’s a portmanteau name — a clever combination of the two greatest influences in his life: Thalidomide and Sarin.
Gollum is looking kinda laid back these days.
sezme: “No possible good can come of naming your kid “Tharin”.”
Tharin, Balin, Dwalin, Gimli. Kings under the mountain. “Moria” is only an accidental cognate in Romance languages.
I blame Jeebus.
I can’t wait to see this episode on Law & Order with Morpheus.
sezme: I think that’s a misspelling. There’s a whole slew of them kids:
Thar ‘un
That ‘un
Other ‘un
echoman2000: Do you know that this site is for snark and nothing anyone says here should be taken seriously? Yes, I was kidding. I was under the impression that people kid here. Did something happen to you here in Texas that you need to get off of your chest? Because it sounds like a nerve was hit and that shouldn’t happen here. Look around, no one here is serious. Why are you so serious?
Bets on how long he lasts in the federal pound-me-in-the-ass pen once they find out why he’s in there. I say halfway through the first night.
Holy shit! I went to College in Greeley, and I never suspected…
Well now that you mention it, professors Eichmann, Goerring, and Hess were a tad excitable.
TexasCowGirl: Dude. Mistakes were made…
echoman2000: I think TexasCowGirl was just pointing out that black prisoners might especially hate on a trio of white supremacists who tried to kill the first black Dem Presidential nominee.
Yes, prisoners of all colors ass-rape. Yes, these guys haven’t been tried yet and might be innocent. But we comment on unsubstantiated stuff all the time, proof of guilt is not a prerequisite (*ahem* John Edwards’ love child, Larry Craig, etc.).
And Texas may have given us W, but it also gave us Molly Ivins, so be kind.
Twinkle Twinkle Lil Star: I was going to say that! But I got here so late! Seriously, though, are they born so stupid that they can’t DO anything besides meth? That’s my theory.
Cicada: Thanks and don’t forget Ann Richards!
I’ll bet they have right-wing paramilitary ties.
You know, the ones with thunderbolts on them.
echoman2000: Yep, a fair trial before you string ‘em up.
chiaroscuro: Verb intrans. Pasty white ass reamed by huge black felons,
it says so in some dictionary somewhere, so it must be true.

Where’s your bunny?
If these guys have it in for Barry because of his not hating on The Gays, I’ll be the first to tell these three that they’re completely safe from having The Gays hitting on them. Completely.
Wow, these winners make those Deliverance fellows look like a gauze-lensed homo daydream by comparison.
stolichnayaaa: Hahahaha!
Maybe “Tharin” was the name of a drug the mother was on when she was pregnant with him.
Holy crap if you can’t snark here I’m done with the internets.
“During the traffic stop, officers found two rifles, boxes of ammunition, one rifle scope, a bullet proof vest, walkie-talkies and methamphetamines.”
Might be an assassin. But on the other hand, elk season is almost here!
[That doesn't explain the rifles, scope and ammo though.]
I’ll bet these guys have Hillary’s cellphone number on them. Just saying.
…lemme get this straight, if you fail to report your daughter missing for 5 weeks your bail is ½ a Million dollar. But if you are caught in an attempted assassination attempt then your bail is $50,000. These assholes will be out of jail with enough time to re-up on low grade kitchen sink Meth and collect a couple rifles from their CIA handlers.
Scooter: …only if you are going Elk hunting in Fallujah!
I knew I wasn’t being paranoid. Can we ban all white people from the convention on Thursday, please? Actually add to that all the black people since Hopey’s not dark enough for us. And every other race since Barry was rude enough to deny his identification with them? Basically Barry needs to accept at an empty stadium. It’s the only safe way.
TexasCowGirl: …I found a photo of his bunk mate.

SkimLatteModerate: …black people aren’t all that safe either(ask Malcolm X). All they need to do is put Sasha & Malia around the stage when he speaks. Cuteness of that magnitude can easily deflect a .50 cal armor piercing depleted Uranium shell.
Don’t know why he’s hating on BO; they have the same size ears.
This just in!!! The MSM is setting this guy up…he’s actually an Obama supporter!!!

Rifles, ammunition, a rifle scope and a bullet proof vest. There are areas of the country where having that stuff in your car is perfectly legal.
Thanks for clearing that up AP, I feel much better now.
“Federal and local authorities had scheduled a news conference for Tuesday afternoon, but U.S. Attorney Troy Eid downplayed the case.
‘We’re absolutely confident there is no credible threat to the candidate, the Democratic National Convention, or the people of Colorado,’ Eid said in a statement.”
Methheads always carry around sniper gear, bulletproof vests, and walkie-talkies; who knew?
Homeboy is DEFINITELY sporting a mullet.
There’s just nothing else that needs to be said.
Zippy the Pinhead goes bad.
Wow. That guy’s the Missing Link.
This story is Wonkette pie. Everyone pass go and collect $200!
White you may be - supreme you are not.
Somewhere a “Tilt-A-Whirl” sits immobile.
dano: win.
The bitters are coming! The bitters are coming!
dano: Or at least Carville’s…
Harmless: Srsly, did he not have a bible or at least a jug of corn squeezin’s?
Fucking kids today. Suddenly Lee Harvey seems all well adjusted and stuff. Get off my lawn.
dano: hilarious…i second the win…
villageatrois: Why? They’re doing meth because they are methodists.
It’s Cleetus!!! Did Cheif Wiggum arrest him?
I call bullshit.
We don’t know their middle names, and y’all recall that ALL assassins’ middle names are always used by the poh-lice.
They didn’t have a copy of “Catcher In The Rye,” which is required reading for all aspiring assassins.
And none of these dweebs has even mentioned Jodie Foster.
Case closed.
Go on the El train in Philly, heading Eastbound to Frankford, you’ll see a few guys like that, usually smelling of booze on Friday morning.
OK. Thank you, Republicans for giving us a good story. I’m sure (I’m positive, in fact) that these losers are Repugs. All we need to do is dig up some evidence that they are, in fact, Republicans, that have voted Republican, and that they support Republican causes. Then we just publish the shit out the story. That’ll keep the Repugs busy for a while.
ManchuCandidate: I was thinking the same thing!!!!!
Canmon (the Inadequate): not if you’re an ex-con.
Uncle Jimbo?! Ned?! Oh, say it ain’t so!!!
DJ Qualls has already been tapped to play that jagoff in the movie version of these events.
The station said police found two high-powered, scoped rifles in the car along with camouflage clothing, walkie-talkies, a bulletproof vest, a spotting scope, licenses in the names of other people and methamphetamines.
I was wondering where I put that damned license. At least it is in good hands and I am sure the Denver Police Dept. will return it right away.
dano: Money shot.
This guy probably thinks Blacks, Jews, and immigrants are the cause of his problems when it’s clearly his DNA that’s holding him back.
Tip to future assassins: if you want to shoot someone don’t deal meth around the time you want to do it and obey all traffic laws. Also make sure your head isn’t made of misshapen clay. That probably helps line up the sights better.

Meth & White Supremacy: Life’s crowning glory for those born with fetal alcohol syndrome.
Ah …
Our proud Viking heritage!!
Were they trying to earn the keynote speaker’s spot at Paultard-palooza?
kudzu: Something tells me these guys aren’t the voting type.
In my opinion people who are involved in such practices should be given strict punishment so that they do not do such things in future.
