Today I am going to write about an issue which has been in the German media very much.
Against two Neo-Nazis, who had planned the future assassination of U.S. President Barack Obama and other African-Americans an accused was brought in.
As the U.S. broadcaster CNN on Wednesday (local time) the two men - 18 and 20 years old - have to appear at a federal court in Tennessee, because of threatening an presidential candidate, illegal possession of a cut shotgun and conspiracy to assault on an arms dealer.
The two defendants Daniel Cowart from Tennessee and Paul Schlesselman from Arkansas - see themselves as advocates of a "white power" - had been arrested two weeks ago. They should have planned to shoot 88 African-Americans and blacks and to behead another 14 people. At the end of their massacre they wanted to try to murder Barack Obama. As shown in court papers it became clear that their plans were not yet very far advanced.
According to the U.S. Justice they also wanted to wear white tuxedos and cylinders while shooting from the moving car on to Obama. They never came close to the president-elect Obama. The discovery of their arrest but sparked concern about the safety of Obama. The black politician had been protected by more Secret Service than usual after they found out about the plans.
Maybe it is because of the German history, but the two accused and their plans has been condemned very harsh.
