Public Corruption in Chester County, PA

I believe an unlikely mix of alleged drug trafficking related politicos and alleged white nationalist related politicos united to elect the infamous “Bloc of Four” in the abysmal voter turnout election of 2005. During their four year term the drug business was good again and white nationalists used Coatesville as an example on white supremacist websites like “Stormfront”. Strong community organization and support from law enforcement, in particular Chester County District Attorney Joseph W. Carroll has begun to turn our community around. The Chester County drug trafficking that I believe centers on Coatesville continues and I believe we still have public officials in place that profit from the drug sales. But the people here are amazing and continue to work against the odds to make Coatesville a good place to live.

Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh's anti-government extremism is Mainstream Republican Conservatism now.

It doesn't seem like 20 years. 

Radio news had a special announcement that a building in Oklahoma City was bombed. When the news said that the Murrah Federal Building had an IRS headquarters I said it was a domestic terrorist. My co-workers ignored me and discussed bombing Libya. A few days later they charged Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. 
The Miami Herald gets it: 
"But that was then. Twenty years ago, the idea of anti-government resistance seemed confined to a lunatic fringe operating in the shadows beyond the mainstream.  
Twenty years later, it is the mainstream, the beating heart of the Republican Party. And while certainly no responsible figure on the right advocates or condones what he did, it is just as certain that McVeigh’s violent antipathy toward Washington, his conviction that America’s government is America’s enemy, has bound itself to the very DNA of modern conservatism. 
It lives in Grover Norquist’s pledge to shrink government down until “we can drown it in the bathtub,” in Chuck Norris’ musing about the need for “a second American revolution,” in Michele Bachmann’s fear that the census is an evil conspiracy. It lives in dozens of right-wing terror plots documented by the Southern Poverty Law Center since the 1995 bombing, including last year’s murder of two police officers and a Walmart shopper by two anti-government activists in Las Vegas. It lives in Cliven Bundy’s armed standoff with federal officials"

April 19th is a big day for domestic terrorists. April 19th is also celebrated as Hitler's birthday. And it's the anniversary of the Waco, TX Branch Davidian siege. McVeigh's bombing was partly to avenge the Waco siege.

Domestic terrorists were in Chester County, ask Tom Hogan. The last time I heard about him, David Wayne Hull was out of prison and living in Kentucky:
