Got some radicals for Peter King to look at. Threats stop anti-terror training.

Plans for an anti-terror drill on Saturday in western Iowa that would have involved fictional school shootings by white supremacists have been canceled because of threats received by the Treynor public schools, Pottawattamie County officials said today.

“During the last 24 hours, the Treynor school system has received threats to their employees and buildings due to the planned “active shooter” exercise, " county officials said in a statement. “After consultation with the Treynor School District and the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office, we have jointly decided to cancel the exercise due to these threats which we must consider viable. The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Department is now actively investigating the threats.”

County Sheriff Jeff Danker said he sent three deputies to the Treynor schools today as a precautionary measure, but the school day was completed without any problems.

Members of so-called patriot groups opposed to illegal immigration had strongly objected to the plans for the exercise, which would have been held at the Treynor High School. Their complaints focused on a fictional scenario for the drill based on young white supremacists shooting dozens of people amid rising tensions involving racial minorities and illegal immigrants who moved into the area.

2. Don't ya see; they can't be terrorists because they look too much like us. We need to question ...

people who look different.

The Citizen Patriot groups are the most dangerous groups out there.

3. So, pretty much exactly who they were afraid of, doing exactly what they were preparing for?

Pretty much hits the nail on the head for why the scenario is exactly what the students need to prepare for.

4. Oh, god. They should have chosen Visigoths instead of white supremacists.

But I love the irony -- the white supremacists were pissed about being portrayed as violent terrorist types, so they threatened the organizers if they didn't cancel.

Genius.
