White supremacist suspects planned to bomb black churches

A third man – Charles Halderman, 30, of Richmond – was charged with conspiracy to commit robbery, although it is unclear to what extent, if any, authorities think that race or religion motivated him. The trio was arrested November 8 for planning all sorts of mayhem. The men would use the jewelry to purchase land, where they could “stockpile weapons and train for the coming race war”. Oh, and they were also going to kill a gun dealer in Oklahoma, but no reason was given for that.

For a few odd reason, white supremacists-who blame all manner of evil-doing in the world on blacks and Jews-always seem to be the ones engaged in all manner of evil-doing in the world.

Chaney, at least, was suspicious of the undercover agent, saying on a few type of recording before the meeting that he feared the Federal Bureau of Investigation was trying to “infiltrate” his group, according to the affidavit. Doyle was arrested later that day and, according to the affidavit, admitted that he and Chaney arranged for the gun purchase.

Attorneys for all three men did not return messages seeking comment. Chesterfield County is southwest of downtown Richmond.

During one of those meetings, members allegedly talked about acting out their extremist beliefs by targeting black churches and Jewish synagogues. The two were charged with conspiracy to buy firearms as convicted felons. Chaney expressed skepticism before the first meeting, almost sniffing out the FBI’s attempts to spoil their plans. 45 caliber ammunition from a backpack in his vehicle, the affidavit says. One of the firearms allegedly ordered by Doyle was a. 45 caliber pistol with a silence, authorities said in documents. They arrested Doyle a short time later and raided his home.

The head of a Baptist church located near where the men were taken into custody said his church had increased security even before hearing about the plot.

Doyle and Chaney are scheduled to appear in federal court in Richmond on Thursday, and Halderman is scheduled for Friday, according to court records.
