Bomb Plot Thwarted at Falwell's Funeral: Student Arrested, Three Other Suspects Sought (http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles/_a/bomb-plot-falwell-funeral/20070522174309990001?ncid=NWS00010000000001)

The story didn't specify if the small group of protestors were the Westborough Batshit Church oddly enough.

But here's the fun part kiddies:

And Campbell County authorities arrested a Liberty University student for having several homemade bombs in his car.

The student, 19-year-old Mark D. Uhl of Amissville, Va., reportedly told authorities that he was making the bombs to stop protesters from disrupting the funeral service. The devices were made of a combination of gasoline and detergent, a law enforcement official told ABC News' Pierre Thomas. They were "slow burn," according to the official, and would not have been very destructive.

"There were indications that there were others involved in the manufacturing of these devices and we are still investigating these individuals with the assistance of ATF [Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms], Virginia State Police and FBI. At this time it is not believed that these devices were going to be used to interrupt the funeral services at Liberty University," the Campbell County Sheriff's Office said in a release.

Three other suspects are being sought, one of whom is a soldier from Fort Benning, Ga., and another is a high school student. No information was available on the third suspect.

Authorities were alerted to the potential bomb plot after relative of Uhl called to say that he had homemade bombs in his possession. Officials searched Uhl's car where they found five incendiary devices in the trunk.

Uhl is currently being held under no bond at the Campbell County Adult Detention Center.

True disciples of Jerry Falwell, them boys are.

And there's also APBs out on gays, lesbians, liberals, secularists, and Tinky Winky.

:D

lol wut?

I don't think God would particularly approve of an act of terrorism against people who aren't threatening you; that seems like a pretty big no-no if you ask me.

No it was a relative. How do you pronounce that wierd ass last name anyway? I wonder what it's origins are.

And did I read that right? A US soldier is suspected of of attempted terrorism against US citizens? Time to start profiling all soldiers as terrorists.

Y'know, I can't even remember what bona fide terror is supposed to feel like. I see the words 'terror', 'terrorism', 'terrorist' - and it's just meaningless drivel to me.

It doesn't sound like a bell and I'm not salivating, Doctor Pavlov.

There's a part of me that says if there were the slightest chance he was going after Phelps, they should have sat back and cleaned up the carnage afterward.

Perhaps they were for Phelps... If so I'm disappointed...
*Imagines Phelps running around screaming while lit up like a torch*
Ahhhhhhh.....
*Imagines a protester trying to put it out by hitting him with the "God hates everyone" sign but instead catching on fire as well.*

Not to seem callous, but if this nutter had managed to remove Phelps from existence within such close temporal proximity to the death of Falwell...well, I wouldn't shed a tear.

Except this lunatic has a hundred buddies crowded around him and they all follow you home screamming that you'll burn in hell and god hates you the whole time. If there's one person on this planet whom a terrorist attack upon would seem like devine intervention it would be upon Phelps...


I would also prove God has a wicked sense of humor.:D

Even if Falwell was a jackass, his family didn't deserve to be subject to such treatment while in mourning.

If the protesters were after Phelps then it's a different story. :p
