North Idaho quick lube shop finds bomb under car during oil change

[jmowreader]

A sandwich board appeared in front of Fast Lane Quick Lube on the corner of West Bosanko Avenue and US 95 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, yesterday: “We do thorough inspections.”

They really do. They even find pipe bombs.

This is weird as fuck, so bear with me: Edgar Steele is the attorney who defended the Aryan Nations in the court case in 2000 that bankrupted the group. (From what I’ve heard of the case, Frito Pendejo could have done a better job.) He recently tried to have his wife and mother-in-law bumped off. He hired a hit man. The hit man went to the feds. The feds wired the purported hit man and got evidence Steele would pay $25,000 if his wife’s death looked like a car crash, and another $100,000 after her insurance paid off. Steele also gave the hit man $400 to go to Oregon to bump ma-in-law, which the hit man gave to the FBI.

Anyway, the cops finally busted this asshole. He was set to be arraigned Monday on charges of the use of interstate commerce in murder-for-hire. This hearing was delayed because some anti-government kook mailed an envelope full of white carpenter’s chalk to the federal courthouse in Coeur d’Alene, among other places, and cleared out the courthouse for the day. The arraignment was rescheduled for Tuesday. That morning, before the arraignment, Steele’s wife’s friend took the car in for an oil change…which is when they found the bomb. At the hearing, the prosecutor said "events of the past few hours have demonstrated Mr. Steele's danger to the community."

Now here’s where it gets good. The judge, in his arraignment order, directed the suspect to have no contact with his wife or mother-in-law. Steele freaked. He called the order an “unconscionable assault on his marriage,” and declared his wife was in no danger from him. Hello? You tried to have the poor woman killed. How, exactly, is that “no danger”?

2. Good for catching him.

As for the original suit the Southern Poverty Law Center had their first team on the case and knew what they were doing.

Also the people of North Idaho were more than happy to pay back these outside jerks who make them look bad.

3. Well, that's true...

but it didn't hurt SPLC's case that the Aryan Nations would have been better off representing themselves than hiring this Steele clown to lawyer for them.
