Minnesota Militia Fanatic Pleads Guilty In Terror Plot

We hope the judge in charge of sentencing throws away the key:

A militia member indicted in what the FBI once characterized as a terror plot to blow up a west-central Minnesota police station pleaded guilty Friday to weapons charges.

Buford Braden Rogers, 25, of Montevideo, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to one count of possessing a firearm illegally and one count of possessing an unregistered destructive device, namely “two black powder and nail devices,” which he admitted he made himself.

Two other counts, including charges related to possessing two Molotov cocktails and a pipe bomb, are expected to be dismissed at sentencing. …

Authorities say Rogers and members of his family were part of a tiny anti-government militia called the Black Snake Militia and that Rogers was plotting to blow up the Montevideo police station, raid a National Guard Armory and cut off communications to the city, about 95 miles west of Minneapolis.
