Update (via Meghann Cuniff Twitter): Edgar Steele's new trial date is April 26. Judge says it will be held in Boise.

A murder-for-hire trial has been delayed. Defense attorneys said they are not ready and the trial could be delayed between 30 and 45 days. Edgar J. Steele is charged with hiring a hit man to kill his wife and mother-in-law. Steele's wife insists her husband is innocent and has been set up by the government because of his anit-Semitic, white supremacist views and for representing clients such as Aryan Nations/Nicholas Geranios, AP. More here.

Question: How can the defense not be ready when this alleged crime took place in mid-June 2010?

Gary Amendola and Robert McAllister didn’t get the case until Feb. 7.

But…but… the court has a schedule to keep nice! How dare they!

C’mon, we all know that Aryan Nations folks have a jammed schedule. They’ve got Taco trucks to boycott, crosses to burn, people to intimidate, pot to smoke, sewing pointy hats, beer to drink and don’t forget Hitler’s birthday celebration to plan for. Making a cake in the shape of a swatizka is no easy task for people who failed geometry class.

Not to mention those online classes at David Duke’s university: How to sound like a bigot and really mean it, carbombing for idiots, and how to make your wife believe you’re really not out to kill her.

Joker, don’t be silly. Aryan nations doesn’t wear pointy hats or burn crosses.
They failed geometry class? I’m wondering if you failed history class.
Now, I realize you are uneducated and are going to say something back as dumb, along the lines of “lol you stupid nazi kkk”, as soon as you read this… But it’s clear you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Apparently, the Aryans do not understand satire. (helpful hint: Joker is rarely serious - hence the name)

Nor are they timely. Two days to respond? Really? Did it take you that long to type? Two words per hour - keep up the great pace. If you’re always this slow, the Aryans won’t ever be a nuisance.

“Aryan nations doesn’t wear …” I don’t know if you passed geometry, but it’s clear you did not pass grammar. (google “subject Verb Agreement”)

Palmer,

I guess you and the other Aryan Nations followers are big fans of Ernst Rohm and Edmund Heines. Tell us if are you practicing that special brand of Brown Shirt relations?
