A high school security guard has admitted to manufacturing, selling and mailing homemade explosives with a teenage accomplice after half a ton of explosives were found.
Mendiver is now scheduled to be sentenced on April 1, 2024 and, if convicted, he faces a maximum statutory penalty of five years in prison and a $250,00 fine for each count.
Okay, so we’re going to bankrupt him, but only send him away for five years for making bombs and sending them to people in a clear attempt to murder them??? I don’t get it. Fuck the fines, this guy should be locked away for life without the possibility of parole. WTF?
… sending them to people in a clear attempt to murder them …
Article is fairly unclear on that point, but to me it reads as though these two were selling the explosive devices, and then mailing them to the customers.

“The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
From my reading, it looks like he’s pleaded guilty to three charges, but I don’t think each of those charges is “a maximum statutory penalty of five years in prison and a $250,00 fine”. But the “actual sentence” appears to be somewhat unrelated to that anyway?
It’s not a Pulitzer Prize winning article, for sure.

It actually looks like they were making fireworks, which police often label as explosives because it’s technically true and scarier sounding.
