Sister says suspect in Obama plot is sorry

By ANDREW DeMILLO, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 5 mins ago

AP – This Oct. 2008 image provided by the Crockett County Sheriff Office shows Paul Michael Schlesselman. …

HELENA-WEST HELENA, Ark. – The family of one of two suspects accused of plotting to decapitate black people and assassinate Barack Obama said Tuesday the teen disliked blacks and considered himself part of a "master race," but they doubted the plot was serious. Paul Schlesselman, 18, had dropped out of school and was looking for work, his family told The Associated Press at their rural Arkansas home Tuesday.

They believed he was in Texas when the Secret Service arrived Friday to seize a computer hard drive and notebooks of drawings. "He just believes that he's the master race," said his sister, Kayla Schlesselman, 16, adding that she would often argue with him about his racial beliefs. "He would just say things like 'white power' and 'Sieg Heil' and 'Heil Hitler.'"

But she and her father, Mike, both said they didn't believe he was capable of carrying out an attack. "I think it's just a lot of talk. He would never do something like this," his father said. Schlesselman is charged along with Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn. with planning the spree. Authorities described the two as white supremacists who met on the Internet about a month ago. The charges were made public Monday.

Kayla Schlesselman said she spoke with her older brother Monday night, and that he expressed regret. "He said he's sorry about everything he's done," she said. Despite making sure the plot was stopped, authorities did not believe Cowart and Schlesselman had the means to carry out their threat to assassinate Obama, said a federal law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly.

4. She's right
He's one of the sorriest motherfuckers that ever lived. I hope he rots in jail around all the minority convicts he's liable to meet.

7. If he was an Arab Muslim terrorist he would have already been disappeared to Gitmo by now
but since he's an All-American boy, he says he's sorry and some POS conservative judge will probably give him probation and community service at that will be it.

15. Yes, usually most sorry that they got caught.
Although Ted Stevens seems not to be sorry at all.

they would never have actually done it. If this POS and his buddy never see the light of day, it will be too soon.

12. "he would never do something like this"
it's not like he was setting off firecrackers, or stealing tires. He was armed and discussing killing people, don't matter who, the man was talking about decapitating people and killing others. I wonder where he got the guns he was in possession of?

18. He and his buddy shot out the window of a church. That's why they were arrested.
Also, weren't his parents concerned when he got a giant swastika tattooed on his upper arm?

Typical Republican logic. Denial denial denial denial BOOM who would have ever guessed who would have ever guessed who would have ever guessed....

20. Capable of carrying out the threat or not - it is against the law to make
that kind of threat. They are a bunch of brain washed idiots and as a person of German ancestry I am once again ashamed.

25. They wouldn't have got close to Obama
But if they had already had the weapons instead of having to steal them first, they might have already killed severals kids.

35. They say on those prison doc shows
That they keep the gangs together so to keep the stabbings down. They'd put him with the other skinheads I guess.

30. Not good
Please try in the future to be less biased against the jailed in your posts. I think that your post was not quite objective of what might happen while incarcerated (and possibly racist?). There are hundreds of thousands of incarcerated inmates that are there for crappy "drug war" crimes. Non-violent crimes that involved growing some pot that got a little too stinky for the non-engineer to filter the smell, or too heated for the non-engineer to insulate the roof against the infra-red copter of not-combating-real-crimes.
I odn't know who your "bubba" is, but it's already working in the wrong direction.

31. Ignorance and poverty are the greatest threats to our democracy.
I hope they throw the book at those people.. and I hope that someday politicians will realize that ignorance and poverty breed this stuff.

33. I believe that people learn their beliefs at their parents's knees.
So to me the folks are always suspect in their thinking. You do what the big people did for better or worse.

...and they were sorry; how would the Schlesselman's feel?

41. I'd consider his plea for forgivness if he publicly admits that Palin's Hate Speeches
drove him to act on his supremist beliefs.
