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.
Although in this particular case it was just some minor fire damage to the door, it didn't even break. But yeah if successful, it would been considered much more seriously.
A Molotov cocktail would've probably been more efficient.
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.
A Louisiana prison without AC
I just imagined OP spent time in a MA jail and had to deal with something horrible lol. Like what if there is some dark secret about MA jails.
Imagine assuming the worst about people because of what they call themselves, then wasting all that time and effort when a simple google search would show you that the name doesn’t mean what you assumed it to mean.
The type of person to bomb a place because of Satanists is probably not a big fan of secularists and humanists either. Probably thinks if you're not pro-God you must be doing Satan's work.
No, they don't care. They have this idea that orgs like TST are a tool of literal Satan(TM) to trick people into thinking that he is not evil or whatever. Participating in the positive things that TST does gives "Satan a foothold" to, I don't know, set up shop in your heart? Where Jesus is supposed to be? It's kind of convoluted, but that's the idea, for those of them that bothered to get past the name anyway.
The ppl who would throw pipe bombs aren’t rational enough to do something like that, unfortunately.
Well when you literally name your group after the personification of evil according to Christianity, intending to be antagonist to Christians, you can expect some antagonism. That's not to justify pipe bombs obviously, but you can't simply choose a name like that then act confused when people assume the worst about you.
~~I prefer to imagine they did this on a bicycle and a modest number of people were mildly impressed in a weird sort of way.~~
Shit, I am in the wrong thread. I thought you were talking about the post about doing 1000+ miles around a traffic circle lol.
