Investigators discovered more than 150 devices, mostly pipe bombs, on a property outside Norfolk, court papers say.

They found more pipe bombs in a bedroom inside Mr. Spafford’s house, loosely stuffed in a backpack that bore a patch shaped like a hand grenade and a logo reading “#NoLivesMatter,” prosecutors said.

No Lives Matter is a nihilistic, far-right ideology that largely exists on encrypted online messaging apps like Telegram

    It’s absolutely a crime to possess a bunch of explosives, especially in the form of literal pipe bombs.

    Also, thought crime isn’t a crime but doing enough stuff to suggest you’ll be killing people and then carrying out and saying things that are akin to planning to kill people is. We can’t just wait around for mass murder to happen if it’s preventable.

      Well, we can, and we have, but it’s OK when we’re looking for an excuse to start a war.
