2 Bad he didn't live on Pennsylvania Ave.

Thanks Matt! AM in the PM.

What's the matter, did they arrest your brother 'Bert? Or is he just the patsy?

Only a tree-hugger would think a hunting rifle is a destructive device! It is obvious a few of my fellow commentators have never served in the military or sacrificed anything but the caffine in their Starbucks! Glad they got this guy and his girlfriend off the street!

FYI he was arrested Monday

a pipe bomb is considered a destructive device... why is your average hunting rifle exempt from this rule?

We need anarchists to overwhelm law enforcement to rebuild the system. You can not kill a million ants with one foot.

There needs to be a space between the man's last name and is in the sub headline
Thank You - Matt

Don't know what Iraq has to do with this story. But if you can find the bits and pieces of the suicide Islamic bombers, have them arrested.

Who is being charged with aggravated murder for over 650,000 civilians in Iraq. Murder is legal apparently depending on what side of the fence you are on.
