You see. Oklahoma, right? They're not sending the best people. Right? That's why we need to secure the boarder. Something like a great wall around their state.
And Oklahoma will pay for it!
With the long panhandle, that's a pretty inefficient perimeter for the wall.
There's only like 10 people who live there. Just fence those 10 in and it's fine.
I live in Oklahoma, and I know at least eight people. I didn't realize I was almost out of people.
In the panhandle.
Only like 10 people live in the panhandle.
Which is a common joke.
We’ll relocate the panhandle people and use it as a new Indian territory.
Make the panhandle great again!
The Satanic Temple exists to troll ignorant violent Christians and they fall for it every fucking time.
Not just violent Christians. Also, the ones who only care about the separation of church and State when it isn't their church.
What was the plan exactly ? The temple was likely empty at 4am, and such a haphazard approach seems unlikely to start any actual fire.
All he accomplished was the equivalent of a giant fart in an empty hallway. What a worthy cause to throw your life away for 🤣
Once more, Satan triumphs 🤘😈
He probably watched too many Michael Bay movies where the smallest source of fire causes the target to explode into a fireball and falling matchsticks.
Well at least Michael Bay movies use "metal" pipe bombs. He couldn't even get that part right.
only christians believe in satan. Something needs to be done to stop this christian on christian violence.
Well that doesn't seem very Christian...
irrational fear over something unverifiable taken to a degree of violent extremism? sounds like a fit to me.
The most outspoken Christians aren't very Christian usually, they just seem to like talking about it a lot. Christians who actually practice the religion are far less common.
What does "Christian" even mean in this context? Because Christ was a Jew and didn't seem to keen on anyone making a religion out of him if you read between the lines, or even the direct text in some cases...
I actually got beaten at CCD a long time ago by saying something like "wait Jesus says not to worship him here, so don't the jews kind of have a point"?
I meant it as literally following the teachings of Christ, which is something very few people who call themselves Christians actually do.
The most obnoxiously loud "Christians" would probably fucking hate Jesus for being a "dirty liberal" or "commie Jew" or some other inane nonsense because stuff like taking care of the poor and eschewing wealth are things that they have a really bizarre hatred for.
The crusades? The inquisition? Witch trials?
Why is the trial in Oklahoma if the crime was committed in Massachusetts? Is it because it's a federal crime? Seems like judges and juries in Oklahoma are a lot more likely to let the guy off with minimum consequences than those in Massachusetts, no?
California just gave the Planned Parenthood firebomber who also had terror plans for the power grid and a pride event at a baseball stadium 9 years, so I don't think this guy will get much, if any time in prison.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts said they didn’t yet have the name of any lawyer representing him. He is due to make an initial court appearance in Oklahoma on Thursday. If found guilty, he could face up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
This is a Federal crime so it doesn't really matter where he appears. It is still a federal court. The trial could move to a Federal Court in Mass, but there is a lot between the initial hearing and a trial.
"The bomb partially detonated, resulting in some minor fire damage"
Apparently he isn't very good at being a terrorist. It didn't even manage to knock down the door and I can't even see any damage in the picture.
I'm gonna go ahead and assume he wasn't mentally stable.
Easier to get materials for a pipe bomb than mental health meds.
Naaa "god" told him to do it.
