Surveillance cameras showed a man walk up to the building soon after 4 a.m. on April 8 wearing a face covering, tactical vest and gloves, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI. The man then ignited an improvised explosive device, threw it at the main entrance then ran away. The bomb partially detonated, resulting in some minor fire damage, authorities said.
Imagine wasting all that gas and effort to impress no one. Now you’ll be wasting the rest of your life in a Massachusetts jail lmao
I’m guessing he impressed a lot of people. People like him. He might even inspire them to do likewise. That’s the thing with terrorism- it begets more terrorism.
Oh, no. This guy is going to federal prison.
There’s one in Ayer, Massachusetts.
No, this POS deserves to be locked up in a southern state prison.
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.
Christians, bruh.
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.
