2 plead guilty in firebombing of Ark couple's home
Published 09:45 p.m., Tuesday, May 10, 2011


LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Two men accused of participating in the firebombing of an interracial couple's house pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiracy against rights and criminal violation of housing rights, the U.S. Department of Justice said.

As part of their plea, Dustin Hammond, 20, and Jake Murphy, 19, admitted they and two other men devised a plan during a party on Jan. 14 to firebomb the home of a black man and a white woman in Hardy, prosecutors said. According to court documents, they had been talking about a black man who said something inappropriate about one of the men's girlfriends.

Murphy grabbed beer bottles and rags from Barnwell's house and the four piled into a vehicle, with Dodson behind the wheel, prosecutors allege in court filings. They stopped to get gas, which all but Dodson later used to make Molotov cocktails. They drove on to the married couple's home and Murphy lobbed at least one Molotov cocktail at the trailer, according to the indictment.

A bottle sailed through a window and part of the home caught on fire. The couple wasn't injured, but prosecutors said there was some damage to their home.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (KAIT) – A federal grand jury on Thursday indicted four men and a woman from Sharp County, Arkansas.

According to the Department of Justice, the five were indicted on charges stemming from the fire-bombing of an interracial couple's home in Hardy, Arkansas.

Charged are 37-year-old Jason Barnwell of Evening Shade, 32-year-old Gary Dodson and 19-year-old Jake Murphy of Waldron and 20-year-old Dustin Hammond of Hardy.

They're accused of lobbing Molotov cocktails into the home of a mixed race couple in January. According to the court documents, the couple was also barraged with racial slurs and threatened with more violence if they did not leave.

4. "H" is the eighth letter of the alphabet, thus "HH"
- Heil Hitler.

It's been a pretty common "code" for a long time.

It is sometimes used in combination with the number 14: 14/88.

The 14 indicates 14 words "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White Children."

The 88 also, sometimes, refers to an 88 word quote from Mein Kampf:

"What we must fight for is to safeguard the existence and reproduction of our race and our people, the sustenance of our children and the purity of our blood, the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may mature for the fulfillment of the mission allotted it by the creator of the universe. Every thought and every idea, every doctrine and all knowledge, must serve this purpose. And everything must be examined from this point of view and used or rejected according to its utility."

I don't think THAT is a coincidence, either.

I think Limbaugh made his logo look like that on purpose.

12. I could...
say that these two individuals are the scum of the Earth and deserve nothing more than to feel as badly as they have ever made anyone else ever feel. Or... I could say what I said.

In either situation, the point is still the same. The words are insignificant when the proper sentiment is reached.

13. Those two pictured in the OP look absolutely unconcerned with their situation
I wonder if they'll feel the same in prison?

From reading the story it seems like attempted murder should be one of the charges, since the couple were at home at the time.
