Oklahoma man arrested after authorities say he threw a pipe bomb at Satanic Temple in Massachusetts - Lemmy.World

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.one/post/13374455 [https://lemmy.one/post/13374455] > 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.

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 🤣

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.
