Well, it had to happen . After all, this is America, right?

A homegrown, all-American, white supremacist terrorist has connected the dots between good old-fashioned white supremacy and the coronavirus (COVID-19). In the process, he has obliterated the “social distancing” space between the virulent, even deadly, germ and one of America’s oldest and persistent policies and practice.

A well known follower of racist terror groups has been killed in a shootout with the FBI even as he planned to bomb a hospital in the midst of this raging, ever-growing, coronavirus pandemic. According to the FBI, Timothy Wilson, 36, was thisclose to activating his plan to bomb a “critical medical care” hospital in Belton, Missouri.

Wilson had been the subject of a months-long larger FBI investigation into domestic terrorism. The shootout occurred as FBI agents tried to arrest him.

The FBI says that Wilson had considered other possible targets (including a black-majority school, Jewish synagogues and Muslim mosques), but settled on a hospital.
