Taylor M. Wilson charged with terrorism
Taylor M. Wilson, a 26-year-old white supremacist from Nebraska tried to derail a train by engaging it’s emergency braking system on it’s route from California to Chicago on October 22nd. From the Omaha World-Herald;
When the train came to a stop, Amtrak staff searched it and found Wilson sitting in the engineer’s seat of the “follow engine,” playing with the controls.
He was behaving erratically, goaded staff with profanities and wrestled with them, sometimes reaching for his waistband.
“I’m the conductor, (expletive),” he said.
Amtrak workers held Wilson on the ground outside the train until a deputy from Furnas County arrived. The deputy handcuffed Wilson and while patting him down found a fully loaded .38 caliber handgun in Wilson’s front waistband along with a fully loaded “speedloader” in his front-left pocket. A speedloader enables rapid reloading of bullets.
Passengers on the train also pointed investigators to a backpack belonging to Wilson. The backpack contained three more loaded speedloaders, a box of .38 ammunition, a hammer, a fixed-blade knife, tin snips, scissors, a tape measure and a face mask similar to those used in construction.
A search of his home turned up some loaded rifle magazines, white supremacist literature and some ammunition in a hidden compartment of his refrigerator. His father surrendered 15 of his weapons to authorities, including a short-barreled rifle and a rifle converted to fully automatic.
Apparently, he attended the rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in August and a road rage incident was tracked back to him by his license plate number.
His lawyer requested a competency hearing soon after his arrest, but he was found to be competent, which I suppose is relative or subjective or something.
An acquaintance told someone that Wilson “has expressed an interest in ‘killing black people’ … especially during the protests in St. Louis.”

If the retard thought he would derail a train by engaging its brakes, he clearly lacks a basic understanding of how trains (or physics) work. Then again, he doesn’t look like he comes from a particularly deep gene pool.
Something tells me he’s not all there
“A speedloader enables rapid reloading of bullets”
Who knew?
I guess that’s why it isn’t called a “slow loader”.
actually a progressive press enables rapid reloading of bullets… who knew you could get a Dillon in your pocket?

WOW, The last time I had two speed loaders on my duty belt was between 1970-2001 when I worked for Brink’s then we were issued S&W 4046’s in .40 cal, right after the 9/11 World Trade Center attack. Had the 4046 from 2001 until 2007 when I took the early retirement at 62. We also lost Joey Trombino in tower 1 who was a Korean War combat Vet and also took the shotgun blast to his arm in West NY, NJ during the chesimard/weathermen era hold ups.
Waiting for the USA Today graphics showing how a speedloader enables you to convert your revolver to fully automatic.
And also attach a chainsaw bayonet.
As long as they don’t look at any of Jerry Miculek’s shooting and try to compare him to us mere mortals.
My first thought was of that video of Jerry, too. That guy isn’t normal.
Jerry is the only person to successfully convert a revolver to full auto.
Did anyone see his 1000 meter shot from a S&W 9MM custom revolver? Missed the first one by maybe 6″ then hit on the second round… at a 12″ balloon target.
Maybe at 200 meters, my front sights on my handguns covers something the size of a truck.
I think Jerry used echo-location to dial in the target.
He’s a pretty cool/humble guy too. I especially like his videos where he shoots the unicorn guns.
Not sure all his gears are meshing.
“I’m the conductor, (expletive)”
He should put that on his business cards.
He looks more like the walrus.
Goo goo kachoo
Is that anything like, “I’m Rick James, bitch!”
He’s off the rails.
See what I did there?
Come on Chief! You’re not even trying!!
The Stupid is strong with this one.
What a maroon!
Oh, he’s all there… and he can stay there, too!
Maroon or “moron”?
Choo! Choo! This guy is a real dumbass! How did he get into the engine? Not much security there boys??
That boy’s gearbox is stripped out.
Got started on the wrong track to a criminal career.
May he burst into flames the next time he takes a shit, that would be one less scumbag goblin having to be fed, clothed and housed at taxpayer expense.
I’m thinking he’s going to see a train pulled, but on him when Bubba and company get done.
Hopefully they will provide this fellow with secure room and board rhat by the time he gets out he will too old to think about this kind of nonsense. If this is terrorism can they send him straight to Gitmo, do not pass Go.
Why is it that the vast majority (100%)of racial supremacists (of all colors) appear to be from the shallow end of the gene pool?
Is it their complete lack of intelligence that makes their physical repulsiveness match their mental ugliness?
They all seem to come from family trees that do not fork.
So this wacko go’s from Nebraska to California to hop a train to Chicago to kill black people because…Omaha dosn’t have any? It was faster than just driving to St. Louis or Chicago?
Amtrak has a little explaining to do on just how a person can climb into an engine like that. It’s like going into a commercial airline cockpit and seeing a strange guy in the Co-Pilots seat.
That boy is playing hockey with a warped puck… maybe the boys in the greybar hotel will let him be the “conductor” of the train they pull on him.
I think Johnny Cash sang a song about that.
“I hear that train a coming”
Cleave his cranial sutures.
