Mark Charles Barnett, 48, of Ocala, was charged with "possession of a firearm (destructive device) affecting commerce by a previously convicted felon" after he offered an unidentified person $10,000 to put at least 10 explosives — disguised as food items — on the shelves of Target stores in New York, Florida and Virginia, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Ocala. "Barnett theorized that the company's stock value would plunge after the explosions, allowing him to cheaply acquire shares of Target stock before an eventual rebound in prices," the complaint said. " But please don't worry about it. Apparently, it's only dangerous if it's the radical Islamic kind.

"http://www.postandcourier.com/news/fbi-south-carolina-man-planned-attack-in-the-spirit-of/article_26a2dda8-f46a-11e6-ac89-e761b344768f.html
A Conway man with a criminal record and white supremacist ties is accused of buying a pistol from an undercover FBI operative so he could launch an attack "in the spirit of Dylann Roof," according to court documents.
FBI agents arrested 29-year-old Benjamin Thomas Samuel McDowell on Wednesday, and he was booked into the J. Reuben Long Detention Center in Horry County. He faces a federal count of felon in possession of a firearm or ammunition.
McDowell invoked the name of the Emanuel AME Church shooter in describing his desire to commit an attack on "non-whites" at an unknown location in another county, authorities said. He told the undercover operative he wanted to do something on a "big scale" and write on the building "in the spirit of Dylann Roof," according to the criminal complaint filed against him."
Again, no need to panic. Another, nonIslamic attack planned. These kinds apparently don't matter.
