A Florida attorney pleaded guilty on Friday to using a rifle to try to detonate explosives outside the Chinese embassy last year in Washington, D.C.

Christopher Rodriguez also bombed a sculpture of communist leaders Vladimir Lenin and Mao Zedong in a courtyard outside the Texas Public Radio building in San Antonio, Texas, in 2022, according to a court filing accompanying his guilty plea.

Rodriguez, 45, of Panama City, Florida, is scheduled to be sentenced in Washington by Chief Judge James Boasberg on Oct. 28.

Under the terms of his plea deal, Rodriguez and prosecutors agreed that seven to 10 years in prison would be an appropriate sentence.

      It’s pretty annoying. The formatting doesn’t show properly on the Jerboa app. You should probably simplify the formatting so that you don’t have to click a drop down. Sometimes I hit them and nothing shows.

      Plain text and simple links only.

        Must be app specific. I’ve enjoyed seeing this information in news threads.
